Simulation Methods

Any weather on earth

• Wind: up to 300 km/h
• Sun: from 200W/m² up to 1000 W/m², realistic range of colours, ultraviolet radiation
• Temperature:  from -45°C to +60°C, maximum temperature gradient of 10 k/h
• Humidity: at temperatures >10°C from 10% up to 98%
• Rain: in wind direction, from the roof and in the area of interest
• Snow: artificial and natural like snow, in wind direction, from the roof and in the area of interest
• Ground Ice: in wind direction, from the roof and in the area of interest 
• Clouds: „Continuous maximum“ (stratus clouds) and „Intermittent maximum“ (cumulus clouds), freezing rain and freezing drizzle (Super cooled large droplets (SLDs))

Realistic operating conditions 

• Soiling: by fluoreszent fluid
• Passenger simulation by heating pads and humidifier
• Load simulation on roller rigs

Design parameters of both climatic wind tunnels:

Large Climatic Wind Tunnel (large CWT)

Small Climatic Wind Tunnel (small CWT)
