ATENG 11813 — Aerodynamic Tunnel, 50X250 mm
Bench-top wind tunnel in open circuit and with incompressible subsonic flow.
Anodized aluminum frame and panels made of painted steel.
Elements included
Main metallic elements made of stainless steel.
Diagram in the front panel with distribution of the elements similar to the real one.
- Inlet section with lips, a haven section and a 8:1 contraction ratio.
- Transparent working area of 50 x 250 mm to assemble and test the different models.
The working area includes a Pitot static tube mounted in the top side.
Outlet section with diffuser that allows to avoid the generation of turbulences, which can generate
damages the current quality in the working area.
- Variable speed axial-flow fan:
TA1. House Scale Model
- Velocity range: 0 – 2800 rpm.
- Air velocity in the working area: 0 – 27 m/s.
An electronic console contains the controller for the axial fan.
Sixty different pressure tappings (along the tunnel and in the models).
- A water Multi-manometer, including:
Anodized aluminum frame.
30° inclination approx.
- Twenty manometric tubes of 250 mm length. Tubes inner diameter: 8 mm.
TA2. Cylinder Model
Water tank for filling.
Drain valve.
- Millimeter precision rules of 250 mm length.
Several models and accessories are available, allowing a comprehensive study of subsonic
aerodynamics. All these models include several pressure tappings.
