The Wind Tunnel Laboratory at De La Salle University (DLSU) is a premier research hub located within the Richard Lee Building at the DLSU Laguna Campus. It serves as a specialized facility for the university, providing students and researchers with the tools to study complex fluid dynamics and aerodynamic phenomena. The lab is built around a state-of-the-art Eiffel-type (open-circuit) wind tunnel manufactured by Westenberg Engineering in Germany.
Technical Specifications
The wind tunnel is engineered for precision subsonic testing:|
Research and Applications
The laboratory supports a wide range of academic and industrial applications:
Urban Planning: Simulating how wind moves through city layouts to analyze pedestrian comfort and natural ventilation.
The use of the DLSU Wind Tunnel Laboratory facility is typically charged on a per 4-hour usage. Since each wind tunnel test is unique, utilization cost is normally determined through a request for quotation. The total cost will usually depend on the complexity of the test/s to be performed and by the official affiliation of the requester. Usually, bonafide students get lower quoted costs.
To request for a quotation, please send an email to [email protected] with a clear description of the intended test/s to be performed and data to be gathered.
