Large Wind Tunnel Project with DE-944 Data Acquisition

Dynatronic large wind tunnel project

Project name: Large Wind Tunnel Project – High-Precision Data Acquisition for Aerodynamic Testing

Brief introduction: Wind tunnels are essential and specialized facilities widely used in aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering research, providing engineers with the ability to study and analyze aerodynamic forces and flow behavior under precisely controlled conditions. These tests produce massive amounts of complex data, which necessitates the use of highly reliable and robust systems to guarantee accuracy, synchronization, and strong resistance to various types of interference.

In this large-scale project, a specialized test base deployed Dynatronic’s DE-944 Data Acquisition System, featuring an impressive 1024-channel capacity, designed specifically to handle the enormous volume of signals generated during complex wind tunnel experiments. The primary objective was to thoroughly evaluate whether the system could consistently meet the stringent requirements of precision, high performance, and real-time synchronization that are critically demanded by advanced aerodynamic studies and cutting-edge research applications.

During testing, the DE-944 system was responsible for collecting and meticulously recording aerodynamic data from numerous sensors strategically placed throughout the wind tunnel and directly on the test models. This comprehensive data collection included capturing vibration, pressure, strain, and other critical parameters that accurately define the aerodynamic behavior of structures under varying and dynamic airflow conditions. The system’s scalability and robust architecture ensured that all data streams were recorded consistently, reliably, and without any loss of precision or accuracy.

After undergoing multiple rounds of validation, the results proved that the DE-944 fully met the requirements for wind tunnel testing. It demonstrated:

  • High precision – delivering reliable results even under complex test setups.

  • Real-time synchronization – ensuring that all channels recorded in perfect alignment.

  • Robust performance – capable of handling large datasets continuously.

  • Strong anti-interference ability – minimizing noise and ensuring clean, trustworthy signals.

The success of this project highlights Dynatronic’s capability to support large-scale aerodynamic research with cutting-edge testing technology. By providing robust, multi-channel data acquisition solutions, Dynatronic enables researchers and engineers to push forward innovations in aerospace, automotive design, and structural engineering.
