Supported by increased demand, GmE is pleased to announce our expansion into a larger, privately
owned wind tunnel facility for testing of physical scale models in atmospheric flow. The wind tunnel
is a conventional flow-through type, having an overall length of 27 meters (m), and test section
dimensions of 2.4 m long and 2.1 m by 1.8 m in cross section. The wind tunnel is supported with a
variety of instrumentation to measure mean and fluctuating pressures, air velocities and dynamic
forces. It is also supported with in-house computational fluid dynamics capabilities.
The facility can be used to investigate wind flows and related issues for:
• Pedestrian winds, ground snow drifting;
• Roof snow accumulation and load estimation;
• Cladding pressures on buildings and other structures;
• Structural wind loads on tall and flexible structures;
• Air pollution dispersion from stacks, line and area sources around buildings;
• Wind flows over obstacles, drag and lift on aerodynamic or bluff objects.
