The GVPM is a unique closed-circuit wind tunnel featuring a vertical layout with two test sections within the loop, one of which is among the largest boundary-layer wind tunnels in Europe. Following an introduction to the facility's layout and design, the tour will give attendees the opportunity to visit both test sections, where the main research activities conducted at the facility will be presented. An overview of the experimental research within the cross-disciplinary field of wind engineering will be provided, with particular emphasis on wind energy. Special focus will be placed on laboratory-scale testing of wind turbine models, considering both individual turbines and wind farm configurations, as well as fixed-bottom and floating systems. Further details about the facility and the associated research activities are available here.
