Novel wind tunnel

Numerical simulations were conducted to calculate wind speeds at different position in the wind tunnel. Wind speeds were compared with those of a straight conical wind tunnel with no elevation height change. Different wind speeds were applied in the simulations at the inlet of the wind tunnel which represent actual measured data for Medina, Saudi Arabia. The measured average monthly wind speed in Medina, KSA over 10 years is 5.5 m/s. The numerical simulations showed better performance of the novel wind tunnel compared to straight conical structure.
