Qatar University has joined hands with Arab Engineering Bureau (AEB) to start wind tunnel engineering services for the Al Thumama stadium, one of the venues for Fifa World Cup 2022 matches in Qatar, said a report.

As per the agreement, the university will provide wind tunnel engineering consultancy services conforming to the recognised international standards, guidelines and practices for similar projects and in compliance with AEB requirements, reported The Gulf Times.

Its scope of work and services include a wind tunnel scheme and a detailed design stage computational fluid dynamics (CFD) verification testing of flow field performance. It will build a 1:300 scaled model using a thermal prototype and it will also test the aerodynamic performance of the model using smoke visualisation techniques and laser sheet visualisation, said the report.
