The paper aims at showing the evolution of methods to design a large wind tunnel. The current Jules Verne facility was designed with a scale model of the wind tunnel which enabled hot wire local wind speed measurements. The new facility is designed according a numerical modelling approach which parameters were validated by PIV measurements in the reduced scale physical model.
