wind tunnel Testing
Wind tunnel testing provides unique possibilities in the area of aerodynamic research, development and testing of UAS. It also constitutes a means for the validation of computational methods.
We offer
- Measurement of aerodynamic characteristics of 2D airfoils
- Measurement of aerodynamic characteristics of 3D models of unmanned and remotely piloted vehicles and their parts.
- Measurement of thrust of power units and hinge moments of control surfaces
- Measurement of aerodynamic characteristics of propellers
- Measurement of aerodynamic characteristics of probes (total and static pressure probes, direction probes etc.)
- Testing of withstand capability and stability of structures in strong wind
Measurement techniques
-
Measurements of forces and moments using multicomponent balances
-
Measurement of pressure distribution on the surface of tested objects
-
Flow visualization (Particle Image Velocimetry, minitufts, paints, smoke), including records using high-speed camera
-
Visualization of LBL/TBL transition using thermocamera
-
Measurement of flow field – Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), hot wire (HWA)
-
Measurement of dynamic aerodynamic characteristics using oscillating model
