Abstract: The paper deals with a description of the new climatic wind tunnel laboratory built in historical city Telcˇ. As a separate unit of the Institute of Theoretical and Applied mechanics of the Academy of Science of the Czech Republic, the tunnel will be used for fundamental research in engineering problems within civil engineering, architecture, heritage care and in other fields where wind effects appear along with further factors. The paper presents essential information about the interior layout of the tunnel together with description of advanced facilities serving for simulation of a strong wind, rain, freeze and solar heat radiation. Fundamental part of the paper is devoted to pressure losses determination. Using two different methods, the principal parts of the tunnel are designed taking into account both the optimal flow characteristics and flow resistance.
