The wind tunnel<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n[vc_column_text]With or without a moving surface, with or without turntable, our wind tunnel is perfectly suited to meeting a wide range of requirements. Aeronautics, automotive, research, sport, wind power, etc. are all sectors of activity whose efficiency of their products can be improved by tests performed in our wind tunnel.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Models: up to 1.5m span<\/li>\n
        • Pitch, Yaw: integrated in the model<\/li>\n
        • Take-Off and Landing simulation: Thanks to the 2-stages boundary layer suction, the Rolling Belt(1.5m wide) and the Z-displacement of the strut, we are able to simulate true ground effect during take-off and landing at several altitudes.<\/li>\n
        • Forces and moments measurement: several 6-components balances.<\/li>\n
        • Rotating propeller with possibility of torque and thrust measurement.<\/li>\n
        • Actuated control surfaces during the test to reduce time spent for flight envelope exploration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            \n
          • Models: up to 1.5m semi-span<\/li>\n
          • Pitch: from -30\u00b0 to 30\u00b0<\/li>\n
          • Boundary layer: 2-stages boundary layer suction in front of the model reducing the height of the boundary layer close to the model, reducing the necessity of using a peniche (still possible if required).<\/li>\n
          • Forces and moments measurement: 3-components system with the possibility to choose any of the three components range to match your requirements.<\/li>\n
          • Actuated control surfaces during the tests to reduce time spent for flight envelope exploration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    CFD<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n[vc_column_text el_class=”texte-blanc”]To conduct your studies, our CFD unit uses a machine cluster with more than 300 cores and 2.2 TB of RAM permitting the computational meshing of more than 100 million cells every day.<\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    Thanks to our pre-processing tools, we are able to prepare your CAD designs for subsequent computational use. We have also post-processing tools that allow you to visualise the various physical flow values in image or video format.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInDown”]\n
