Pressurized Wind Tunnels Narrow The Gap Between Lab Models And Full Scale Turbines

TechXplore Engineering reports that researchers from MIT and Princeton are using highly pressurized wind tunnels to simulate atmospheric flow physics. By increasing chamber density up to 220 times that of normal air, the team can accurately test how turbine alignment and tip spee
