Transonic Wind Tunnel at City, University of London

This transonic facility is used mainly for aerospace-related studies, given the high velocity that can be reached in the relatively large (for its speed) test section. Shock-wave-boundary-layer interaction, turbine blade aerodynamics, rocket science and the effect of heat exchange are just a few examples of studies. Numerous research activities are carried out in this facility, alongside a variety of aerospace contact work (Bombardier and Meggit, currently) and undergraduate projects. The tunnel is equipped with a full optical access section, which allows a variety of techniques to be used (e.g. Laser Doppler Anemometry, Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry, flow visualisation). The Transonic Wind Tunnel at City University has a test section size of 0.2 m x 0.25 m x 0.5 m and a M number range of 0.5 – 2. It boasts an internal 5-component sting balance (-5 – +20˚ alpha range, ±180˚ roll) and the latest in pressure, surface shear, Schlieren and shadowgraph techniques, PIV and 3D LDV.
