Team description:
A research team specialized in the complexities of airflow, and fluid dynamics. Our mission is to push the boundaries of knowledge in engineering, rigorous research and practical experimentation.
Mission:
Our mission as a Vortex research group is to advance the understanding of aerodynamic processes and problems, using research and innovation to develop effective and efficient solutions that address real-world challenges. Through collaboration, creativity and research excellence, we seek to transform the way aerodynamic issues are understood and addressed in different industries.
Vision:
Our vision as a Vortex research group is to be leaders in the research and development of innovative solutions in the field of aerodynamics, being recognized nationally and internationally for our excellence and quality in research and development. We seek to be a benchmark in the generation of knowledge and technology to address current and future challenges related to aerodynamic processes and problems, thus contributing to the advancement of the industry and society in general.
Research topics related with:
Propulsion and energy Conversion Systems
Hidronautics, Aeronautics and Astronautics
Project in development: AFRS (Aerodynamic and fluid rocket simulation).

Wind tunnel:
Wind tunnel:
The creation of the wind tunnel by Impetus Indomitus arose from the need of our colleague, Iván Calvache, to have a testing platform for a small electric turbine, which was his graduation thesis project in Electrical Engineering. As a team, we designed and constructed a low-cost, modular subsonic wind tunnel to meet this need. Thanks to this effort, the Impetus Indomitus team now has the first wind tunnel in the School of Mechanical Engineering at the Universidad del Valle, which was entirely built by students. This tunnel has already been used for experimental measurements in four undergraduate projects and one master's thesis. The modular design of the tunnel allowed students to interchange the testing section according to their specific requirements.

Certification process of the wind flow tunnel:
Certification process of the wind flow tunnel:
Below you can find the operational manual that describes all the steps that are necessary to operate in a correct way the wind flow tunnel.
There is also the certification page where you will propose a date according to the available schedules; you must be send an email to one of the VORTEX team members, then we have three days to respond your request to discuss the best available date.
Finally, there is the certification record of all the past certifications that we have done.
