Comment/Description

The objective of this master project is the design, manufacturing, testing and validation of a small-scale wind tunnel. The purpose of this wind tunnel is to perform experiments of small wings: where the lift generated by different wing geometries, at different angles of attack is to be measured, and the flow visualized. Additionally you will use numerical methods to compute the theoretical lift force generated by the wings. You will use these simulations to validate your wind tunnel, and to compare the experimental and theoretical results. Thus this project is subdivided into four knowledge areas: (1) Numerical simulations using a (simple) potential flow method (2) Numerical simulations using OpenFoam (3) Measurement techniques and (4) CAD and assembly. It is therefore intended for 4 students with:
• Good Knowledge in fluid mechanics.
• Willingness to learn and/or expertise in one of the tasks listed above. In your application for the project, detail to which aspect(s) you would like to contribute and briefly explain what is your experience so far in the field.

Registration mode
