Abstract :
In this paper a newly constructed Towing wind tunnel facility is introduced. This Towing wind tunnel system can create highly complex flow and zero free stream turbulence condition. The performance of this facility is first explained. The results of our first experiment on the boundary layer transition on a flat plate are then given. We concluded that this facility has good performance for complex flow testing under zero freestream turbulence condition.
