Overview

ViGYAN's Low Speed Wind Tunnel

 

ViGYAN has also been involved in a number of projects to develop advanced tunnel testing techniques. These efforts have included the development of forced oscillation, rotary balance and other dynamic testing methods.

 

In addition, our engineers have supported a number of efforts utilizing powered wind tunnel models (both static and dynamic) using high-pressure air and electric motors. Our staff has also supported advanced measurement, diagnostics and an extensive array of instrument systems.

 

Notable Projects

Typical Wind Tunnel tests over the past several years have included:

 

The Magenn Air Rotor System (MARS) ViGYAN has evaluated three versions of this inflatable wind turbine concept. The purpose of the tests has been to assess performance, explore new ideas, understand the pertinent aerodynamics, and develop parametric trends. The ultimate goal was to assist Magenn in design of an optimum configuration and calibration of the company's empirical prediction tools.
