Our Mission: 'To make our industry quieter, safer and greener'
Flow screens and flow conditioning are essential elements in wind tunnel design, crucial for optimising airflow and ensuring accurate testing results. Effective flow conditioning is paramount in wind tunnels to straighten airflow, minimising turbulence and achieving reliable data collection.
Flow Core Honeycomb, a fundamental component in wind tunnel construction, plays a vital role in flow conditioning. These honeycomb modules, available in sizes up to 2m x 2m, are designed to regulate airflow by straightening it as it passes through the wind tunnel.
The versatility of Flow Core Honeycomb is evident in its cell sizes, which range from 5mm to 16mm A/F hexagon. This range allows for customisation based on specific wind tunnel design requirements and testing objectives, ensuring optimal performance and accuracy.
When it comes to wind tunnel design, incorporating flow control technology is crucial for achieving precise and repeatable results. Flow control technology encompasses various techniques and components aimed at manipulating airflow to meet testing objectives effectively.
From adjustable screens and honeycomb structures to boundary layer control devices, flow control technology plays a vital role in optimising airflow patterns within wind tunnels. These technologies help minimise flow distortions, turbulence, and other undesirable effects, ensuring accurate aerodynamic testing results.
In summary, Flow Screens and Flow Conditioning, including the utilisation of Flow Core Honeycomb and advanced flow control technology, are integral aspects of wind tunnel design. By implementing these elements effectively, wind tunnel operators can achieve precise and reliable aerodynamic testing, contributing to advancements in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and research and development.
