AI Technical Summary
Existing downburst simulators, when simulating angle deviations, have gaps in the guide vanes or changes in wind force, resulting in unstable wind fields. Furthermore, directly rotating the fan can easily cause equipment vibration, making it impossible to realistically simulate actual wind systems.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of special wind simulation technology, and particularly relates to a controllable multi-path downburst simulator. BACKGROUND
[0002] Since the wind field structure of downburst cannot be simulated in a conventional boundary layer wind tunnel, a special simulator needs to be built to reproduce the special wind field of such extreme wind. In the actual environment, the angle of downburst will produce slight deflection. If a downburst simulator with angle deflection is to be built, the existing downburst simulator generally uses guide vanes or directly rotates the fan to realize the angle change of downburst. However, the guide vanes have gaps, or the vanes are flat, which will cause changes in wind force and wind diameter during guiding and turning, and cannot well simulate the actual wind force system. If the rotation of the high-speed fan is directly used for adjustment, the support frame will be shaken or the turning structure will be shaken due to excessive wind force during the rotation, resulting in instability of the equipment.
