Formula Windy gathers all our work related to Wind Tunnel tests (Aeroelasticity & Aerodynamics, Hydraulic Machinery, Wind Engineering, Pollutant Dispersion, Aeroacoustics, and even Water Tunnel tests included) and it is formed exclusively by Professors, Researchers and students with the Department of Energy and GIFDE (Spanish Official Research Group) of the University of Oviedo.

There are two strong and active long-term alliances with “Instituto Universitario Iganacio Da Riva” with Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain; and the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department with Princeton University, NJ, USA. Our Department also collaborates with the Department of Construction and Fabrication Engineering of the University of Oviedo (GICONSIME: Construction Engineering Area) which owns 1 Wind Tunnel for Wind Engineering (ceded by Fluid Mechanics Area and firstly re-constructed by JJCD and ANM).

The Department of Energy of the University of Oviedo (GIFDE: Fluid Mechanics Area and Hydraulic Engineering Area) owns 7 wind tunnels for Wind Engineering, Acoustic Engineering and Turbo-machinery Testing, as well as many others small wind tunnels for smoke visualization and teaching about boundary layers. There are also two wind tunnels in Princeton University, NJ, USA.

SERVICES WE PROVIDE:
Wind tunnel testing: 2D, 3D and full aeroelastic models (ABL): forces, pressures, motions&accelerations and PIV in civil engineering and renewable energy structures (bridges&buildings, roofs, towers, windshields, turbines, wind turbines, blades&wings, ventilation, solar trackers&fixed photovoltaic), aeronautics&aerospace, aeroacoustics, pollutant dispersion, granular material piles, sports aerodynamics (cycling, motor-racing, motorcycling), probe cal.
CFD models (FEM&FSI).
“On demand” courses.
3D printing of scale models.
Devices for Learning & Teaching.
