Research Facilities: WIND TUNNEL
It is an open atmospheric wind tunnel with a cross sectional area of 1.35m (w)*1.0m (h) and it is designed with a long test section (9.0m). The wind tunnel is powered by a blower of 45 kW that can produce a maximum speed in the test section of 30m/s (108 km/h). At the moment, it capable to offer services to two main area;
Wind Engineering
- Building Aerodynamics- Safety, comfort and urban design
- Wind engineering- Flow induced vibration-energy
- Crosswind- vehicle/train safety
- Pressure measurement
Aeronautics
- Bio-inspired airfoil: Aerodynamics and Aeroacoustics
- Passenger car aerodynamic performances
Location: Wind Tunnel Laboratory, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Jalan Sultan Yahya Petra, 54100 Kuala Lumpur
