High productivity |
| • |
Atmospheric
wind tunnels found at universities usually have the
best productivity. These tunnels typically range from
7’x10’ to 8’x12’. |
| • |
Smaller tunnels
(cheaper) usually have poor data acquisition systems
and balances. |
| • |
Larger wind tunnels
usually are burdened by excess rules and regulations
in addition to poor productivity. |
| • |
Disadvantages
of 7’x10’ to 8’x12’ atmospheric
tunnels |
| |
• |
Limited RN |
| |
• |
Limited model size ~ 1/9
for 8’x12’ tunnel |
| |
• |
Some don’t have power
on testing capability |
| • |
UWAL is the
most productive of the university or industry tunnels
in this size range. |
