TÜBİTAK SAGE

Ankara Rüzgar Tüneli (ART) is a sophisticated wind tunnel facility in Turkey, designed to conduct tests on the aerodynamic interaction of objects with airflow under low-subsonic conditions. It features a closed-loop, horizontal circulation system and specialized atmospheric and enclosed testing chambers. The testing process involves three critical phases: numerical modeling, experimental wind tunnel tests, and flight trials to validate designs.

ART offers a variety of services including aerodynamic load measurements, structural integrity testing, airflow measurements using advanced pressure sensors, and flow visualization techniques to identify and analyze aerodynamic discrepancies. Test models, crafted from materials such as aluminum, steel, composites, or wood, are utilized in various configurations and angles to assess their performance under controlled wind conditions. This comprehensive testing infrastructure supports research and development in aerodynamics, making ART an essential resource for industries focused on enhancing design efficiency and safety.
