Basic Information

Name: Cascade Wind Tunnel (GWK)
Facility: Chair for Turbomachinery and Flight Propulsion (TFA)
Partner: Technische Universität Dresden (TUD)
Location: ZET

Short Description

The Cascade Wind Tunnel is a continuously operating, open wind tunnel. It's used for the investigation of turbine or compressor bladings.

Description

Cascade Wind Tunnel (GWK)

  • continuously operating, open wind tunnel
  • operating from the low speed range up to high subsonic inflow by optional drive using blowers or compressors
  • investigation of turbine or compressor bladings
  • simulation of the rotor-stator interaction
    by moving bar wake generators
