Hi
Firstly, great site. Just stumbled upon it today
I have a question re Windtunnel design which is slightly off track - but hopefully not too far.
As a cyclist and Triathlete, I'm keen to get as aero as possible on the bike to minimise energy expenditure for a given speed (sound familiar?).
I know of plenty of wind tunnels that test cyclists to optimise their position and reduce drag most of which test at a wind speed of 30MPH using facilities designed for cars.
Could anyone hazzard a guess at what kind of size tunnel would be required to just study cyclists at windspeeds of around 30MPH yet still yield reasonable results in terms of accuracy? I'm thinking self build here.
Any advice gratefully appreciated!
