In an attempt to simulate both large-scale and high-intensity turbulence within a limited entry length, an innovative wind tunnel of "multi-fan type" is developed. The airflow is driven by an array of fans (9 columns × 11 rows), each of which is independently controlled by a computer. Details of the wind tunnel were introduced, and two typical methods ("uniformly-active" and "quasi-grid" methods) were applied to drive the wind tunnel. Comparison with the quasi-grid method revealed the spatial structure of the turbulent flow generated by the uniformly-active method.
