Question
Professor Henry Kirsten names one of these facilities at the University of Washington. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name these facilities used to test the aerodynamics of objects, like cars or aircraft, by simulating air flow around them.
ANSWER: wind tunnels
[10m] A “coefficient” named for this quantity is often calculated using wind tunnels. A pressure gradient is required for the production of this force.
ANSWER: lift
[10h] Wind tunnels measure how the lift coefficient interacts with this other quantity, above the critical angle of which stalling occurs. This is the angle between the chord line of an airfoil, such as on a wing, and the oncoming airflow.
ANSWER: angle of attack
