ABSTRACT:
A test section for a wind-tunnel testing apparatus has a mounting section that mounts an automobile along the internal floor surface of a wind tunnel. Tests are conducted by applying an airflow blown in the wind tunnel to the automobile mounted on the mounting section. The test section includes a slit that is disposed on the floor surface located on the upstream side of the mounting section with respect to the airflow direction so as to extend in the intersecting direction intersecting the airflow direction and that sucks in a portion of the airflow near the floor surface, and lateral suction portions, disposed at both sides of the mounting section, that suck in the incoming airflows R flowing in from the sides of the mounting section.
