Comprehensive Control System for Wind Tunnels

Abstract

In the context of automotive development, modern wind tunnel technology constitutes an essential element for Audi AG to further optimize their vehicles. In this respect, the wind-tunnel centre in Ingolstadt with its three wind tunnels provides the engineers with unique test facilities. The same as with the already installed aeroacoustic wind tunnel, trouble-free operation is ensured by the comprehensive wind-tunnel control system from Werum Software & Systems and S.E.A. Datentechnik at the heart of the new climatic wind tunnel. The users are guided through all preparatory and testing phases by the control computer software. It not only permits rapid access to all resources but also the simple configuration of new tests. Adaptations and extensions are an easy matter thanks to the platform’s modular design.
