    Before being launched, ships must be subjected to a few air currents... The objective is to study the ship's aerology, i.e. the way in which the air flows around it... Even though all the real air flows can not be represented in a wind tunnel (we do not know how to represent a twisted sheet or the ship's swell motions), all these measurements are essential for getting a better understanding of the air movements and their consequences
