Studies using wind tunnel to simulate the Atmospheric Boundary Layer at the Alcântara Space Center

The Alcântara Space Center (ASC) region has a peculiar topography due to the existence of a coastal cliff, which modifies the atmospheric boundary layer characteristic in a way that can affect rocket launching operations. Wind tunnel measurements can be an important tool for the understanding of tur...
