Tests are conducted to study a diversity of issues in low speed aerodynamics using a wide variety of pressure, temperature and unsteady flow instrumentation.

A model of a high speed train is installed in a wind tunnel with an extended  test section with the unique capability to adjust the static pressure along the entire length. This demonstrates how full scale facilities should be configured to establish the optimum conditions for environmental tests. An unsteady pressure transducer records the transient changes during implosive events such as when the train enters or exits a tunnel.

A model of an engine test cell is installed in a 20 ft by 20 ft wind tunnel environment. Aerodynamic and flow visualization tests  are conducted to ensure that the combustion gases are not re-ingested at the inlet under varying external wind conditions.
