Large Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel

Large wind tunnel

Atmospheric Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel

This wind tunnel is used for measuring wind speed, wind pressure, and pollutant dispersion around buildings by exposing scaled buildings and other structure models to wind that simulates the atmospheric boundary layer flow over the built environment.
It has a large measurement section of 1.8 m (width) × 1.8 m (height) × 13.0 m (length), making it one of the largest wind tunnels for architectural purposes in Japan. This wide cross-section enables more accurate and detailed measurements. The maximum wind speed is approximately 23 m/s.
