Development of Research Capacities in the Field of Applied Aerodynamics

The Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences (FPZ) established the Aerodynamic Laboratory with a low speed wind tunnel. The beginnings of the Laboratory establishment activities date back to 1997 as a joint cooperation and investment of FPZ and Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (FAMENA). The first location of Laboratory was in the FPZ hangar at the Lučko airport. The tunnel is used for educational purposes in laboratories of several courses at aeronautical study of FPZ and Aeronautical Engineering study at FAMENA. The AT-1 wind tunnel located in the Aerodynamic Laboratory is the only wind tunnel in Croatia. The goal of this project was better utilization of laboratory research purposes and raising the competitiveness of research groups in the field of applied aerodynamics. The main objective of the research activity is focused on the development of measurement systems in the wind tunnel, improving existing and acquiring new measurement and other equipment. The PROM-PRO research program contributed to the development of wind tunnel measurement systems and raising the competitiveness of research groups in the field of applied aerodynamics.
