Influence of Walls and Ceiling on a Wind Flow in BLWT Tunnel

Abstract:

This paper deals with determination of the parameters of simulated boundary layer in newly built Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel (BLWT). Short description of tunnel, measuring devices and possibilities of using of tunnel are mentioned here. All measurements, which were necessary for basic analysis of simulated natural wind, are shortly mentioned. The main part of this paper is devoted to additional measurements, which were necessary for detection of influences of boundary effects in part of the cross-section of tunnel where the calibration of Hot-wire anemometer is usually done. These boundary effects evoke deceleration of the wind velocity in given area. Description of additional measurements and obtained results are presented at the end of this paper.
