The large research facility AMG, operated by the DLR Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology, combines modern measurement techniques for investigating aerodynamic processes. Each measurement technique is tailored to specific tasks and is state of the art, so the combination of individual techniques provides unrivalled opportunities for high-quality experimental investigations.
AMG consists of several ‘Particle Image Velocimetry’ measurement systems with different areas of application, acquisition frequencies, sensor-based pressure measurement technologies, cameras for visual temperature determination and scales for force measurement in wind tunnel tests. Each of these measurement techniques offers the possibility of investigating aerodynamic phenomena, both inside and outside of vehicles. The area of application depends on the type and parameters of the respective measurement technology.
Only with first-class measurement technology is it possible to do cutting-edge research in experimental fields. With the large-scale AMG facility, measurement technology is available for a wide range of needs, so the full potential of both the top researchers employed at DLR and its unique test facilities can be utilised. The additional option of studies outside DLR, whether in other test facilities or for outdoor measurements in the field or on test tracks, is optimally guaranteed by the mobile and variably deployable measuring systems.
