Default Wind tunnel designers?

Anybody got any wind tunnel construction experience?

I've been asked for some input on a full scale project, wouldn't mind having someone to bounce idears off of.

There's a text called "Low-Speed Wind Tunnel Testing" by Pope and Rae that may be useful. Some of the information in it is a bit dated, but its a good reference.

Give the folks at Parks College of St Louis U. a call. They designed and built thier own low speed tunnel back in the 60's. It's been moved once and is still in operation. It has a 3'x3' test area.

Check out

http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/aero/event...nd_tunnel.html

NASA also has a number of low speed wind tunnels, and you might go to NASA.gov and do a search there.
