SUBSONIC WIND TUNNEL 450mm

A sizable open circuit, suction subsonic wind tunnel with a working section of 450 mm by 450 mm and 1000 mm length. It provides a cost-effective balance between being able to carry out advanced aerodynamics study, while having a smaller footprint than the largest subsonic wind tunnel.

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 SUBSONIC WIND TUNNEL 450mm suppliers 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.
