Abstract | ||
A wind tunnel is a tool used in aerodynamic research to study the effects of air moving past solid objects, Fig. 1. A wind tunnel consists of a tubular passage with the object under test mounted in the middle. Air is made to move past the object by a powerful fan system or other means. The test object, often called a wind tunnel model, is instrumented with suitable sensors to measure aerodynamic forces, pressure distribution, or other aerodynamic-related characteristics. Aim of this work The aim of this work is to design and fabrication of a small-scale open-cycle wind turbine for experimental measurements. The tunnel will be equipped with smoke generator for flow visualization of streamlines around test objects. | ||
