Assessment of the influence of geometrical details on wind-tunnel measurement results by means of CFD

Geometrical wind-tunnel details can have a significant influence on the results of building aerodynamic studies that are conducted in closed-circuit wind tunnels. Investigating these effects by means of wind-tunnel research would require a considerable amount of wind-tunnel tests and important geometrical changes in the wind tunnel, which are time-consuming and expensive. In the present paper, a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) study of the...
