Wind energy: Deutsche Windguard launches new acoustic test section at large scale wind tunnel

Bremerhaven, Germany - Deutsche WindGuard launches their new acoustic test section at the large scale wind tunnel in Bremerhaven.

The new equipment permits measuring the precise location of noise sources on rotor blade profiles and thus give clues to their origin. A special feature of the wind tunnel is that it allows for simultaneous aerodynamic and acoustic measurements on rotor blade profiles with realistic Reynolds-numbers. This way, all necessary measurements can be performed in one wind tunnel with the same model in an integrated measurement campaign, saving the customer
