Wind Tunnel 125 AV5289

This compact open-circuit sub-sonic wind tunnel is designed for benchtop use. The wind tunnel is designed for MODULE 2.0
teaching aerodynamic principles and exploration of fluid flow. Suitable for college to undergraduate teaching,
it features a computer controlled fan, data acquisition and multiple experimental setups, controlled by a touch
MODULE 2.0
screen interface. The wind tunnel has a 125mm transparent test section and 25m/s wind speed.
The wind tunnel has a honeycomb structure built into the contraction nozzle (ratio 9.2:1) which ensures
uniform flow through the test section. The clear test section allows for visibility and clear understand of the
experimental behaviour. The air exits through a variable speed controlled fan, with a finger guard covering the MODULE 3.0
back.
MODULE 3.0
Built-in data acquisition allows users to have direct output of pressure readings from pitot static tube and
pressure tappings. It also allows for real time lift and drag force components to be logged. Different drag
shapes are provided along with multiple NACA profile aerofoils. Simple thread attachment allows students to
design their own test pieces for analysis. MODULE 4.0
A smoke generator can be used to create streamline smoke trails over the test objects for visualisation of flow
patterns. MODULE 5.0

LEARNING OBJECTIVES & EXPERIMENTS:
BASIC • Bernoulli’s equation

• Air flow over aerofoils
• Air flows around blunt and streamlined shapes
AERODYNAMICS • Pressure distribution around a cylinder and
aerofoil.
• Lift and drag forces for blunt and streamlined
shapes
• Flow visualisation
• Manometers

Module 8.0 primarily sees the inclusion of one of our flagship aerospace products,
with the Wind Tunnel 125, which is designed to deliver many of the key requirements SCAN TO VISIT
for aerodynamics study across multiple disciplines. PRODUCT PAGE
