“…As shown in Figure 5 [32] was used for data acquisition, in which the deflection demand signal for the wingtip tab was generated and synchronized using the same software platform. Testing was carried out in the 7ft by 5ft low-speed closed-return wind tunnel at the University of Bristol, which is equipped with a dual-vane vertical gust generator [33] as shown in Figure 6. The test campaign comprised of four phases.…”

“…These gusts were also significantly higher in amplitude (up to 11 • ) and reduced frequency (up to k = 0.905) than those produced by generators with the same number of actuators (e.g. Lancelot et al, 2015;Wood et al, 2017), as well as more complex systems with multiple vanes (e.g. Cordes et al, 2017).…”

“…Simpler generation mechanisms involving two pitching plates (e.g. Lancelot et al, 2015;Wood et al, 2017) avoid wake effects by construction, but tend to be limited in both the amplitude of the gusts produced (usually less than 1 • ) and reduced frequency they can achieve. However, this design has been proven to be effective in transonic wind tunnels (Brion et al, 2015).…”

“…The main purpose of using this camera system was to correlate accelerometer measurements, since the low end of the frequency test range was near the accelerometers' measurement limit. Testing was carried out in the 7ft by 5ft low-speed closed-return wind tunnel at the University of Bristol, which is equipped with a dual-vane vertical gust generator 16 as shown in Figure 6. In the test campaign, the wind tunnel model was first subjected to a series of stepped sinusoidal gust excitations, such that the modal characteristics could be identify in a similar fashion to a conventional frequency sweep through a shaker.…”
