low-speed wind tunnel

A low-speed wind tunnel is a specialized testing environment used to study how air flows around objects at relatively slow speeds, typically below the speed of sound. It works by moving air through a controlled chamber where models, such as cars, airplanes, or buildings, are placed. Engineers analyze the airflow patterns to improve design, reduce drag, or enhance stability. These tunnels are essential for safe and efficient development, providing detailed data on aerodynamics without the high costs or complexities associated with high-speed testing.
