Effects of vegetation on urban flows [TWT1 results]

The effect of vegetation on urban flows is studied with measurements of the flow past a surface mounted cube with openings, representing a building exposed to an atmospheric boundary layer. PIV data from NTUA WT experiment and LDV from KIT WT experiment are published.

TWEET-IE 12M Plenary Meeting & Administration and Management Workshop [NTUA, 9-10 November 2023]

NTUA hosted the TWEET-IE 12-month Plenary Meeting and the Administration and Management Workshop on the 9th and 10th of November in Athens, Greece.

Twin Test 2 is in progress at TU Munich wind tunnel!

Performance and flow field measurements in the wakes of scaled wind turbines will be examined, in order to clarify the wake interactions of a cluster of turbines and to decide on the wind farm control through wind turbines wake manipulation techniques. For this purpose the used model turbines have integrated torque, pitch and yaw control capabilities.

TWEET-IE project at the European Researchers' Night 2023

TWEET-IE project was presented, as a significant activity of the NTUA Wind Tunnel, at the European Researchers' Night 2023, that took place at NTUA on Friday 29/9/2023. European Researchers' Night is a Europe-wide public event, which displays the diversity of science and its impact on citizens' daily lives in fun, inspiring ways.

Lecture on Vegetation in Urban Street Canyons and its Impact on Air Quality, by Dr. C.Gromke at NTUA

A lecture on the "Vegetation in Urban Street Canyons and its Impact on Air Quality" is scheduled to be given by Dr.-Ing. Christof Gromke (KIT) on Thursday July 13th, 2023 at NTUA. Dr. Gromke’s presentation is in the framework of his visit for the second phase of the first Twin Test measurements of our EU Horizon TWEET-IE project.

Green Buildings and Air Quality Wind Tunnel Measurements at KIT

Effects of building wall and roof greening on indoor air quality are being studied during the first Twin Test of the TWEET-IE project.

Announcing the first TWEET-IE twin test

We put a model building in a wind tunnel at KIT (Karlsruhe, Germany) and by using LDV (Laser Doppler Velocimetry) we measure air velocity at over 100 points around and even inside the building in order to study how natural ventilation works. See the presented video.

TWEET-IE ...feels inspired!

TWEET-IE's logo is inspired by the Twinning #HorizonEU philosophy and presents the evolution of symmetrical flow streamlines due to the "twin" activities that will take place in Wind Tunnels at different institutions. A variety of  applications will be studied...
