Hungarian speed-skating champions of the Hungarian National Skating Federation (www.moksz.hu) will be tested in the wind tunnel on the 28th of September 2012, on Friday night at BME's Theodore von Kármán Wind Tunnel Laboratory Department of Fluid Mechanics / Theodore von Kármán Wind Tunnel Lab PROGRAMMEMAIN SHOW (18:30h; 19:30h; 20:30h; 21:30h; 22:30h; 23:30h)1) Hungarian speed-skating champions (Péter DARÁZS– twofold Olympic championTorino / Vancouver, 2nd in European Championship, Hungarian champion; Dávid Manó LÓTH – Hungarian champion; trainer: Attila TARCALI) of the Hungarian National Skating Federation (www.moksz.hu) will be tested in the wind tunnel: on- line measurement of the wind-induced drag forces on the skaters presenting various postures in the horizontal flow wind tunnel. The approx. 15min show is repeated in each hour. 2) The wind tunnel scale-model of the new sport stadium in Debrecen will be visualized with laser light sheet.
OTHER SHOWS, PROGRAMMESThe Laboratory offers extraordinary opportunity to take a look inside of various flowphenomena: both models of experimental investigation and results of numerical simulation of fluid flows are presented. The Laboratory with its facilities is open to the public: the scaled-down models used in the wind tunnel tests will be shown: they are illuminated by colour floodlight. (wind tunnel models e.g. “Silver Arrow” WM-23 combat airplane from the 2nd WW; a terminal building of the Dallas Airport (USA); Papp László Budapest Sportarena (H); cement factory Steetley Building (UK), open air roof structures from USA and Dubai etc.). - UV seeding + water filled U-tube manometer blasting race - playstation with special viscoelastic fluid - miniature wind farm - huge vortice cannon - In the NPL type wind tunnel: flow around model bus/car visualised by smoke & laser - laser illuminated slow motion fluid flows - Moreover, videos and photographs of artworks related to extraordinary fluid flow phenomena, and also collection of historical photographs on the wind tunnel construction from the 1930’s will be projected, too. EXTRA PROGRAM EACH YEARFor brave visitors: you are welcome to experience the 60-70 km/h air stream in thelarge wind tunnel in the meantime of the main shows.
 All programs are free. Neither there is no need for registration. For more information please visit the websites: www.ara.bme.hu Dept.
