This work presents the design, experimental characterisation, and numerical modelling of a low- speed gust generator based on oscillating vanes, capable of producing high-amplitude gusts in strongly
Notably, to obtain a gust flow in wind tunnel experiments, a specific device is needed - a so-called gust generator.
First steps to generate these types of wind gusts by an artificial wind gust generator were proposed by Wood et al. (2022) and are based on a rigid plate mounted on a fast-moving tooth belt axis.
In this paper, a novel small-scale gust generator research facility was designed and examined for generating Sears-type gusts. The design scheme, integration with the wind tunnel,

A gust generator is a necessary feature for a wind tunnel because the response of a system can be analyzed when it is introduced to specific gusts parameters. Wind gusts change the pressure
The paper presents a novel design of a wind gust generator based on an adaptive nozzle for wind tunnel applications and its experimental investigation. The key feature of this design is the
Due to the cross-section size limitation and the requirement of the generated gust magnitude, a four-vane gust generator configuration is suitable for this wind tunnel.
This work demonstrates the viability of a novel transverse-gust generator that is capable of producing a controllable time-varying gust without increasing the turbulence level within a large
The aim of the present setup is to create a numerical counterpart of the experimental wind gust generator of Wood, Breuer, and Neumann 1 (i.e., the paddle). This shall facilitate a deeper
