4.2.6    Locations of Wind Tunnels

According to the Wind Technology Society (WTG e.V.), wind tunnels suitable for studies of urban climatology are located at the following institutions. Some private experts also rely on these wind tunnels:

Since the listed wind tunnels vary widely in size, the type of air circulation, the adjustable wind velocities, the type of boundary layers, the friction parameters, the measurement techniques, and the typical areas of application, it is recommended that experts be employed to assist with wind tunnel studies.

The above list is given with no claim to its comprehensiveness!
