DESCRIPTION:

Wind Tunnels are designed to perform the different types of experiments

in Fluid Dynamics, Aerodynamics, model studies & for industrial Design
Aspects.
The present Wind Tunnel is configured in five parts mainly, inlet or
Honeycomb section with graded screens at different intervals, jet or
convergent section, Main Test Section Unit, Diffuser or Divergent Cone,
Fan with Motor.
The Tunnel is open Circuit type having a square test section of 600 x 600
mm.
It has a contraction ratio of 9 & honeycomb & screens at inlet.
The maximum speed in this section with a 15 HP electric motor drive is
about 30 mtrs/sec.
Smooth & continues variations of speed are provided over a wide range by
means of aerodynamic speed control (Flap) mechanism combined with
variable speed drive of the electric motor.
A fixed pitch 4 bladed metal/wooden fan coupled to the electric motor by
suitable couplings derives the tunnel.
The entire tunnel expects the motor support structure is wooden
construction.
Large Plexiglas windows provided on both sides of test section permit
easy accessibility for model mounting etc.
Necessary static pressure connections for measurement of Tunnel speed
have been provided
