Abstract

Wind tunnel WT is a device that artificially produces airflow relative to a stationary body and measures aerodynamic force and pressure distribution simulating the actual conditions with an important aspect of accurately feigning the full complexity of fluid flow The aim of the present study is to design the three dimensional geometry of a small open-circuit also known as Eiffel Type and subsonic low speed wind tunnel WT capable of demonstrating or acting as a vital tool in aero-mechanics research The project and fabrication itself poses as an onerous task with the cynosure central theme being the delineation depiction of wind tunnel components such as Test Section contraction cone diffuser drive system and settling chamber
