The Jules Verne Climatic Wind Tunnel

Objective



Principal characteristics of the facility and of the support offered to users:
The Jules Verne Climatic Wind Tunnel was designed by the Centre Scientifique et Technique du Batiment (CSTB) to undertake on a full scale basis a wide range of environmental and climatic studies of structure behaviour. With the large size of the facility the main advantage of the JVWT rely on the possibility to reproduce the different combinations of climatic parameters: wind and its natural fluctuations is recreated and associated with temperature, rain, snow, fog, sun, frost, hail or sand storms, smokes, within an aerodynamic field which reproduces the effective climatic development conditions of the phenomena. The exceptional performances of the simulator allow therefore to set up new research targets in the fields of aerodynamics (turbulent and unstationary), thermal science (with transient response), thermal and hygro mechanics, two-phase flows (including ballistic effects), effluent diffusion, radiation, aeroacoustics and so on... applied to buildings, machines and equipments submitted to climatic conditions of the atmospheric Boundary layer. The present proposal aims to expand availability of the JVWT to european researchers working in the previously mentioned fields. The access offered to the JVWT comes along with free access to all infrastructures (mechanical and electronic workshop, desk room and secretary office...). Researchers working in the JVWT, are assisted by high-level technical teams devoted to the setting-up of experiments (mechanical and electrical achievements), test implementation (instrumentation and acquisition of data) and data analysis. Hosted external researchers are mixed with CSTB teams and benefit from their proficiency and expertise.
Quantity of access being offered and number of users who may benefit: Over the period covered by the proposal, the access being offered by the facility to TMR programmewould be 25days/year (ie. a total of 50days for a 2 year program).
