Wind in a closed, controlled environment is best suited for testing when in the form of a streamlined, consistent flow. The AWARE Lab’s new Windshaper, which is a Fan-Array Wind Tunnel, is a 1.5 m x 1.5 m open section wind tunnel with 648 individually controllable computer fans. This design causes the raw flow to be quite turbulent and spatially variable; when testing projects that require idealized air flow, a flow conditioner is necessary. This study shows the design and creation of a turbulence-reducing flow conditioner as well as the characterization, analysis, and optimization of the prototype. Through this iteration, the working flow conditioner was roughly 10% of the cost of the prefabricated one. Initial results indicated that there must be a compromise between mean wind speed vs. turbulence intensity to make a streamlined, testable flow. The final design is a plastic honeycomb with a 1⁄4” hole diameter, 2” thick + 0.013” wire diameter fiberglass screen, each spaced 1 ft apart; this allowed for a turbulence reduction by 33% at 50% duty cycle as well as the flow made more consistent across positions. Further work for this study includes adding a more rigid screen and sharing the design as a low-cost option for other open-jet wind tunnel facilities.
