De La Salle University has recently acquired a wind tunnel equipment from Westenberg Engineering, a known producer of wind tunnels in Germany.
The equipment was delivered to the Richard Lee Building in the DLSU Laguna Campus last October 26, 2020.
The Eiffel-type wind tunnel has a test section of 500 mm x 500 mm and can deliver wind speeds of up to 60 m/s.
Initiated by former DLSU Chancellor Dr. Gerardo C. Janairo, the testing laboratory was established to support studies related to building aerodynamics, instrument calibration, and flow visualization.
This newly established wind tunnel laboratory is part of the Central Instrumentation Facility (CIF) of the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation.
