DESCRIPTION:

“WIND TUNNEL” has been developed to perform various experiments of aerodynamics and fluid flow. This is a open circuit Wind Tunnel provides a region of controlled air flow into which models can be fitted at downstream of working section. The Tunnel consists of bell mouth shaped entry to guide the air smoothly into settling chamber and stabilizes the air flow this follows working section for test section where various models can be tested. Test section with acrylic sheet, will be provided for visual observation. Working section is followed by diffuser section which reduces the dynamic pressure at the exit. A fan coupled with motor is used to produce desired wind velocity.

EXPERIMENTATION:

• To observe the Hydraulic Jump phenomenon.
• Study of velocity distribution in open channel and to find the correction factor.
• Study of flow characteristics on a roughened bed (determination of Manning’s Co-efficient).
• Other experiments can be done as per accessories.

UTILITIES REQUIRED:

• Electricity Supply : 3Phase, 440V AC, 3 KW
• Floor Area 10 x 3.5 m.
