What is a stream of air in a wind tunnel called?
AIRFLOW
What is a current of water or air called?
A current of water is called a "stream" or "flow" while a current of air is referred to as "wind" or "breeze".
How wind tunnels work?
a wind tunnel works by turning on a gigantic fan in a round tunnel they place the car SUV etc. in the tunnel and turn the fan on to see if its aerodynamic since we cant see air they put a fog machine to make stream of fog to see the aerodynamics of the car the faster the fog passes the more aerodynamic it is
How are wind tunnels used in aircraft design?
They use a stream of smoke in the tunnel to figure out the air current when it is flowing over the wing of an aircraft mainly to produce the most arodynamic aircraft possible
What is the band of wind that travels in the upper troposphere called?
The band of wind that travels in the upper troposphere is called the jet stream. It is a narrow, fast-flowing air current that can have a significant impact on weather patterns and air travel.
Can clouds ride the jet stream?
Clouds are pushed by wind currents, including the jet stream, but they do not "ride" the jet stream like a vehicle would. The jet stream can affect the position and movement of clouds, but clouds are not carried along by the jet stream in the same way that a plane might be.
What do you call movement of the air?
It is called wind.
Is a strong storm that has a wind tunnel a tornado?
No. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air the is in contact with both the ground and the cloud base. Violent winds alone do not make a tornado. A wind tunnel effect simply occurs when buildings or terrain funnel the wind to increase its speed.
How does polar air create the jet stream?
The tempurate differences creates the jet stream. Wind is caused by the uneven heating of earth's surface and the differences of air pressure. Cold polar air creates low air pressure and a cold surface which creates wind.
What is the purpose of a wind tunnel?
A wind tunnel is used to simulate air flow over a model of an airplane or a wing section so it can be studied. The model can be instrumented to measure the lift and drag and other parameters for study. The wind tunnel can produce air flow at the desired speed and condition. Engineers may use a wind tunnel to study and design a wing shape. The Wright Brothers developed the first wind tunnel to design the shape of the wing for their airplane. Wind tunnels can be used to study interference between parts of the aircraft or between an airplane and a bomb as it drops away. There are different types of wind tunnels: low speed wind tunnels, supersonic wind tunnels and hyper-sonic wind tunnels.
Air in motion is called?
When Air is in motion it is called the wind. It Could also be called a breeze or wind current
What is air that moves horizontally called?
wind
