HIGH SPEED WIND TUNNEL TESTS

HIGH SPEED WIND TUNNEL TESTS

HOW CAN WE HELP?

Aerodynamic model measurements will support decision-making development processes based on measured data. Our main contribution is a significant reduction in technical and programmatic risks, particularly for mechanical phenomena that cannot be reliably addressed solely by calculation. Experimental aerodynamics is important and cost-effective when strong flow interactions occur, nonlinear or unsteady phenomena are present, and a high degree of confidence in results is required.

WE OFFER

  • Force/Moment measurement using internal and external multi-axis aerodynamic balances
  • Pressure measurement on model surfaces
  • Flow visualization by means of optical methods (Schlieren, interferometry, BOS), oil-flow visualization
  • Flowfield measurement (various measurement techniques available: steady/unsteady pneumatic probes, PIV, HWA, HFA)
  • Testing of linear blade cascades and turbine stators – measurements of pressure distributions on blades, fine probing of flowfields
  • Testing of full turbine stages – determination of integral characteristics, fine probing of flowfields
  • Measurement and calibration of mass flow rate – determination of flow-rate, loss, and frequency characteristics
  • Calibration of various aerometric probes (pitot and static probes, directional probes, ice detectors, etc.)
