A few months ago we introduced you the ACE wind tunnel characteristics. To complement these information, Sauber F1 team has released a couple of videos to better understand the basics of a Formula 1 wind tunnel.
Basics of Wind Tunnel Design
- basic principles, history
- open-circuit vs closed-circuit wind tunnels
- energy efficiency
- fan, foundation, seismic mass, vibrations
- air rotation and turbulence
