Abstract:
A wind tunnel device defines a cyclical tunnel to receive continuous airflow. Airflow is delivered through the tunnel to a testing region that includes a first portion carrying an arm including a spray tip configured to spray particulates in the testing region at an angle, and a second portion including an enlarged cutout region configured to receive the angled sprayed particulates. As airflow carries the angled spray particulates into the second portion, the enlarged cutout region enables the spray particulates to pass through and exit the second portion of the testing region. Analysis in the second region may be conducted through transparent walls free of openings to minimize exposure of the spray particulates to the exterior of the device. A scrubber is adapted to extract spray mist from the airflow as the airflow exits the testing region and is re-circulated through the cyclical tunnel.

Claim (Index 18):
A wind tunnel, comprising:\n a testing region comprising a portion adapted to receive a spray and accommodate an area covered by the spray, the testing region comprising a spray tip, a first expansion, a second expansion on an opposite side of the testing region from the first expansion, and sidewalls extending between the first expansion and the second expansion, wherein the testing region includes a substantially enclosed interior that is defined by at least the first expansion, the second expansion, and the sidewalls, and wherein the first and second expansions enable spray particles from the spray tip to pass through the testing region.
