Abstract
In this paper the wind tunnel at the University of Applied Sciences Stralsund and few construction details as well as the calibration of the nozzle are presented. Furthermore some approaches to visualization and measurement of velocity fields of a simple body of vehicle are shown. The wake structure behind of simple car models was investigated experimentally using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). Furthermore the visualization of flow field by the fog probe systems supports the evaluation of the flow and drag behavior.
