Agreed; temperature measurements (close to bearings, ideally; realistically at least the case; not necessarily a complete temperature profile around the circumference) are part of the plan. Because shorts, bowed rotors, and rubs all result in temperature anomalies, I agree that it should be...

I'm trying to design monitoring hardware (embedded system-type design) that can easily be used to detect faults on rotating electrical machinery--motors/generators. I intend to incorporate voltage/current signature analysis, possibly vibration, maybe even electromagnetic field monitoring...

WGJ, Check out www.impact-tek.com and go to the Smart Oil Sensor (SOS); it is a product that Impact Technologies (my company) is developing. You can at least throw it into your mix of potentials, and I'd be happy to answer any questions. Granted, it's not from a user's perspective like you...

Can anyone recommend a good source of a model for an electrical generator? As a mechanical engineer, I don't even know the right specs to post, but I'm looking for a Matlab/Simulink-type model that I can tweak to my specs, once I find them out. Any help is appreciated; thanks.

What would you like to compute--wind tunnel design itself or performance of a model within the wind tunnel (interference effects, etc)? I used to work for a company that designed wind tunnels; we didn't use a "wind tunnel design program" per se, but rather compiled experience and...
