Abstract
A portable aeroacoustic wind tunnel includes a modular building structure. The wind tunnel is assembled together on-site at an assembly plant outdoors and on the ground and disassembled into sub-assemblies for transportation. A separate control building includes fan controls, acoustic measurement controls and windows for visual observation. A portable generator provides power to the wind tunnel that is equipped with acoustic dampening features. The modular building structure and control building can be shipped in a cost-effective manner.
