Wind tunnels are used today in a wide range of testing, research and engineering applications. This new book brings together excellent research from renowned authorities to address crucial topics in the design and applications of wind tunnels today. The first part of the book offers new studies that range across topics including the design and configuration of environmental wind tunnels, and a novel system for the measurement of forces and torques in wind tunnels. In part two, contributors present their findings on wind tunnels and experimental fluid dynamics research. Here, new insights can be found on flow visualization, wind tunnel balance and turbulence reduction, and applications in engineering education building design. Part three examines tunnel design with a focus on engineering applications. Studies explore topics including design of quick and low-cost tunnels, portable tunnels for field testing, supersonic wind tunnel development, and the use of wind tunnels for studying drying mechanisms of solids. This wide-ranging book offers up-to-the-minute thinking on this diverse area, and will appeal to both academics and researchers in industry.
