Abstract
Upgrade of automation system in the wind tunnel of Fluid Mechanics, Dylan Beck, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Abstract of Bachelor’s Thesis, Submitted 22 June 2021: The aim of this thesis is to repair and update the old wind tunnel project at the UPC campus Terrassa. The wind tunnel is an old project that is used for aerodynamic studies at the university. The tunnel can simulate different scenarios and measure the effects on the objects placed in the tunnel. But the installation is not used in a while due to a defective Y- and Z-axis for repositioning the sensor. The hardware and software used is also outdated and needs an update. For this update some parts need to be replaced. The slow PC with the old software needs to be replaced and the stepper motors powering the Y- and Z-axis need a new driver. Research for new components, software and coding is needed to update this project. The decisions made had the aim of creating a flexible installation with many opportunities for the future. By using a new Raspberry Pi as controller coded with Python, future students can find lots of information online due to the big community around it. Many possibilities for future extensions are created by using the I2C protocol that allows easy addition of new devices. This Final project or Trabajo de Fin de Grau (TFG) for my master degree has been executed at the Escola Superior d’Enginyeries Industrial, Aeroespacial i Audiovisual (ESEIAAT) campus de Terrassa, a part of the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC). The TFG was a part of the Erasmus+ program offered by the Bachelor of Energy Technology at the Odisee University College in Ghent Belgium.
