This project focuses on the numerical analysis of airflow behavior inside a wind chamber using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The objective is to evaluate the internal flow characteristics, including velocity distribution, pressure gradients, and turbulence structures, to assess the chamber’s aerodynamic performance and uniformity. A 3D CAD model of the wind chamber will be used as the computational domain. The simulation will employ a steady-state (or transient, if required) turbulence model to capture realistic airflow behavior and identify regions of recirculation, flow separation, or non-uniform velocity profiles. Appropriate inlet velocity or mass-flow conditions and outlet pressure boundaries will be applied based on the intended operating conditions of the chamber. The results will support the validation and optimization of the wind chamber’s geometry, ensuring stable, predictable flow behavior suitable for testing scenarios. Post-processing will include streamlines, velocity contours, pressure distribution maps, and turbulence intensity visualization, providing detailed insights into aerodynamic performance.
