Islamic Azad University Experts Renovate Wind Tunnel for Use in Labs
“A wind tunnel that had been unused at this university for years was renovated and registered in the Strategic Technologies Laboratory Network,” Behrouz Dousti, the president of Islamic Azad University’s Parand and Robat Karim branch, told ANA.
He explained that in cooperation with the University of Tehran and Mabna Company, the tunnel has generated significant income.
“We have also responded to the social needs of Parand city by converting 8 units of the university's 48-unit complex into a mother and child clinic, and a super-clean clinic has been launched,” Dousti said.
A wind tunnel is a structure that simulates airflow around objects, typically used for aerodynamic research and testing. It consists of a tube or duct where air is moved by fans, allowing researchers to study how air interacts with various objects, like aircraft models or even objects like golf balls.
Wind tunnels create a controlled stream of air, typically using powerful fans to generate the desired speed and flow conditions.
Objects, such as models of aircraft, spacecraft, or even full-scale vehicles, are placed within the tunnel's test section.
Researchers can then measure forces, pressures, and other aerodynamic characteristics to understand the object's performance.
