Wind Tunnels – Flow Conditioning Screens for Precise Flow Conditions
Wind tunnels play a key role in the development of aerodynamically optimized vehicles. Whether in the automotive industry, aerospace sector, or research institutions – wind tunnels make it possible to analyze airflow behavior under controlled conditions. To obtain reliable and reproducible results, laminar flow is essential. This is where flow conditioning screens do their job. Inside a wind tunnel, a flow-oriented chamber, the airflow conditions from the free nature need to be reproduced. Unwanted turbulences, cause by the geometry of the tunnel, are conditioned by fine woven meshes. The Airflow is being straightened – a smooth directed airflow, responsible for accurate measurement results is created.
Our Contribution to the Perfect Flow
As an experienced manufacturer of technical meshes, we supply customized flow-conditioning-screens for use in wind tunnels. Our screens are used worldwide by leading automotive and aerospace companies as well as research institutes.
