Wind Tunnel
This team aims to achieve flow visualization within our labs wind tunnel. Only recently have we been putting the wind tunnel to use for flow visualization, load cell testing, and much more using Aerolab. The wind tunnel team also helps others teams or individual students collect wind tunnel data upon request from our PhD student.
2026-2027 Goals:
-
Develop sheet laser xy-coordinated mount
-
Develop proper fog machine connection
-
Test flow visualization set up and continuously improve
More About Wind Tunnel
This team has put a 3D printed cow model in the wind tunnel proving it's ability to take accurate test points. Currently this team works closely with our PhD student to make the best use of our wind tunnel. Other subteams use the wind tunnel for their specific needs but typically have the wind tunnel subteam support in collecting data from the computer and exporting it to our Google Drive.
