LARGE SUBSONIC WIND TUNNEL

The largest open-circuit subsonic wind tunnel available, with a working section of 600 mm by 600 mm and 1250 mm long, for the study of advanced aerodynamics theory and research.

Air passes into the wind tunnel through a honeycomb flow straightener and a grille. It then passes into an aerodynamically designed effuser (cone) that accelerates the air in a linear manner before it moves through the working section. Finally it passes through a diffuser, then into the variable speed axial fan. Learn about LARGE SUBSONIC WIND TUNNEL for educational labs for optimal educational outcomes.. The grille protects the fan from damage by loose objects. The air leaves the fan, passes through a silencer unit and then back out to atmosphere.

The speed of the axial fan (and therefore the air velocity in the working section) is controlled by an electronic drive control in the separate On/Off unit mounted on the tunnel's associated instrument frame along with other ancillaries.
