1 PURSE Program June 25, 2010

2 Wind Tunnels Used to study the effect of air moving pass solid objects Serves as research tool used in aerodynamic studies Initially proposed as a means of studying vehicles, mainly airplanes, in free flight Later, effects of wind on man made structures and other objects were studied, also recreational use These man made structures could include bikes, cars, or bridges
