Wind tunnels are often used to test
models of aircraft and other vehicles or
prototypes. To do this, the model must
be properly scaled so that the results
correlate to the prototype. Photo

The drag on this car is influenced by
the density, viscosity, and velocity of
the air, as well as the projected area of
the car into the flow. (© Takeshi

Due to the complexity of
flow, the effects of wind on
high-rise buildings are often
studied in wind tunnels.

Wind turbines are sometimes placed
off-shore and the wave loadings on
their columns can be substantial. Using
similitude, the effect is studied in a
wave channel so that these supports
can be properly designed.
