Design, Analytical Analysis, Instrumentation and Flow Simulation of Sub-Sonic Open Circuit Wind Tunnel Model
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The Wind Tunnel is well known for its enormous amount of potential in Civil, Environmental, Automobile and Aeronautical applications. In today’s world, Everyone’s main focus is to save time, material and money which have compelled us to opt for the experimental testing on scale models, before the final product is to be shaped. The Wind Tunnel is one such platform, which provides us the appropriate desired environment conditions around the model scaled to the compatible dimensions. Therefore, to develop the favorable conditions, the design of the tunnel plays the foremost role in its proper functioning. In this paper, knowing the intricacy of the tunnel’s requirements, A Sub-Sonic Open Circuit Wind Tunnel (SOWT) Model is developed and simulated, having a Mach Number (M) of 0.15. The guiding dimensions taken for the Test Chamber are: Length (LT) = 45cm, Height (HT) = 18cm and Width (WT) = 24cm with maximum operating speed to be 50m/s. Using these, the secondary design parameters were estimated and the design is finalized. Moreover, the instrumentation of the Tunnel including Data Acquisition Systems (DAQs) is reviewed.
