Mini Wind Tunnel | FluidoSurgeX 219

Key Features

Key Features-

• Eiffel type wind tunnel for aerodynamics and fluid mechanics experiments

• Transparent, closed measuring section for clear flow observation

• Metal inlet contour, nozzle, and diffuser for stable airflow

• Flow straightener to reduce turbulence

• Variable-speed fan motor for energy-efficient operation

• Digital display of lift and drag forces

• Manual or digital angle of attack adjustment with DAQ option

• Compatible with optional smoke generator for streamline visualization

Applications-

• Aerodynamics laboratory experiments

• Fluid mechanics teaching and demonstrations

• Determination of lift and drag coefficients

• Study of drag on different body shapes

• Streamline visualization using smoke or fog systems

Construction & Design Details-

The wind tunnel incorporates metal construction for the inlet contour, nozzle, and diffuser to ensure stable airflow characteristics. The measuring section is transparent, allowing visual inspection of airflow and interaction with test models. Aerodynamic forces are measured using an electronic two-component force sensor, while air velocity is indicated via an inclined tube manometer. Angle of attack can be adjusted manually or digitally when the DAQ system is used.

Data Acquisition Software (Optional)-

The optional DAQ software  is designed for use with the FluidoSurgeX 219 when equipped with the data acquisition system. Developed in the NITM LabVIEW™ environment, the software enables real-time acquisition, processing, and visualization of experimental data on a Windows-based PC.

Measured parameters such as pressure, air velocity, angle of attack, and aerodynamic forces are displayed numerically and graphically. The software allows aggregation of measured and calculated values into tables, plots, and images. At the end of each experiment, a comprehensive CSV report containing all recorded data and graphs can be generated for documentation and further analysis.

Experiments-

• Determination of lift and drag coefficients for different models

• Study of lift and drag at varying angles of attack

• Study of lift and drag at different air velocities

• Drag measurement on different body shapes

• Streamline visualization in conjunction with an optional smoke generator
