Abstract
A diffusing corner for fluid flow within a wind tunnel comprising an arrangement of diffusing vanes for diverting the flow of air through the corner in a plurality of air passages having increasing cross-sectional area, thereby increasing the overall cross-sectional area of the wind tunnel and slowing the air flow. The vanes are configured to minimize turbulence and the loss of energy through the corner, and to attenuate transmission of sound generated within the wind tunnel.
