Shantou University Wind Tunnel Laboratory

Introduction

The wind tunnel laboratory was established in 1996, with a floor area of 750 m² and a total asset value of 9 million RMB. It is now an important component of the “Key Laboratory of Structures and Wind Tunnel” of the Education Department of Guangdong Province. The main test section of the wind tunnel measures 3 m in width, 2 m in height, and 20 m in length, with a maximum wind speed of 45 m/s. The laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art testing instruments and was among the first research units in China to employ imported high-speed electronic pressure scanning valves and imported high-frequency force balance instruments in comparable wind tunnels. At present, it primarily conducts applied research in wind engineering on high-rise buildings, large-span spatial structures, and building complexes.
