wind tunnel experiments
Wind tunnel experiments involve testing objects—like vehicles, aircraft, or buildings—in a controlled environment where air flows around them. The object is placed inside a tunnel with powerful fans that generate a steady current of air, simulating real-world conditions. Sensors and cameras collect data on how the air moves and interacts with the object, revealing flow patterns, drag, and lift. This helps engineers understand performance, identify issues, and improve designs before physical prototypes are built, ultimately saving time and resources while ensuring safety and efficiency.
