Wind Tunnel Testing
The objective of this project is to develop a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model capable of accurately predicting the internal and external flow behavior of an uncharacterized blunt object, provided by the University of Connecticut’s College of Engineering. The supplied geometry has not been previously tested, and the project team is responsible for modeling the pressure differentials and velocity profiles within the object. To accomplish this, the team will design both the object and a robust mounting system capable of withstanding the operational conditions of the wind tunnel (Figure 1). Successful completion of this project will enhance the visibility and capabilities of UConn's wind tunnel, serving as a valuable asset for attracting future research sponsors and collaborative projects.
