Members of the SuperSonic/TranSonic/WindTunnel team work on their equipment at the Air Breathing Test Cell at UAH's Johnson Research Center. The project is under the ...

High-aspect-ratio wings push conventional tube-and-wing aircraft to record-high aerodynamic performance levels, and blended wing body concepts rethink the entire airframe as a lifting surface.

Recent advances have significantly enhanced our understanding of the complex fluid dynamics surrounding wind turbine blades. By employing non-invasive imaging techniques such as infrared thermography, ...

When comparing the efficiency of different wind turbine blade designs, [AdamEnt] found using a hair dryer wasn’t the best tool for the job. Enter his new 3D-printed wind tunnel. After several ...

Air flow in the natural environment affects the distribution of organisms, mechanical stresses, heat losses by convection, and moisture distribution. Air flow was visualized by bubble tracers in a ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University engineers have developed a wind tunnel that is the only one of its kind in the world capable of running quietly at "hypersonic" speeds, helping researchers to ...

Of the many roads leading to successful Artemis missions, one is paved with high-tech computing chips called superchips.

In this historical photo from the U.S. space agency, an F-16 Scamp model being tested in the BART on Oct. 6, 1992. The photo shows a basic flow visualization test using smoke and a laser light sheet ...
