Wind tunnels are facilities in which the wind is produced by fans
or by compressed air to study and measure the action of the air
flow around a solid. There are two basic types of wind tunnels: the
closed-circuit and the open-circuit. Open-circuits draw air from
the ambient environment and exhaust it back to the ambient after
exiting the fan, while in closed-circuit, the air repeatedly
circulates through the tunnel. The closed-circuit design delivers
improved efficiency and generates less noise, but it is more
expensive and more difficult to manufacture. Wind tunnels are
typically used in aerodynamic research to analyse the behaviour of
flows under varying conditions, both within channels and over solid
surfaces. The present book focus on uses and developments of wind
tunnels. It consists on nine chapters presenting different studies
on the design, uses and developments of the wind tunnel in
different applications like wind turbines, building and aircraft
models. The presented case studies and development approaches aim
to provide the readers, such as engineers and PhD students, with
basic and applied studies broadly related to the wind tunnels and
its applications.
