The University of Texas at Dallas recently unveiled a new, on-campus wind tunnel — the Boundary Layer and Subsonic Tunnel (BLAST) — that could potentially impact a wide range of areas, from science and industry to student research.
“With the experimental capabilities made possible by the BLAST wind tunnel, coupled with UT Dallas’ extensive capabilities in high-performance computing, we have that ideal blend of theory, experiment and simulation to take us to the next level of wind engineering,” said Dr. Richard C. Benson, president of UT Dallas.
