The cryogenic Rohr wind tunnel (KRG) in Göttingen is a research and development facility for aerodynamic experiments.
Intermittent, blow-down wind tunnel of the Ludwieg tube concept, pressurized by vaporized liquid nitrogen
Main Features
Test section
- 0.4 m x 0.35 m test section with adaptive upper and lower walls
- Mach control by adjustable sonic throat valve
Model support
- Remotely controlled 2D support
- Remotely controlled y-z traversing system used as model support
Auxiliary systems
- Remotely controlled y-z traversing system for probe positioning (pressure rake)
Typical tests
- Tests with flow control devices (vortex generators, suction, blowing, trailing edge devices) on 2D airfoils, helicopter blades, flat plates
- Fundamental research of fluid dynamic phenomena and effects influenced by Reynolds number (spheres, cylinders, blunted or slender bodies, etc.)
- Model deformation measurements
- Air data system and probe calibration
