Wind Tunnel | FluidoSurge-X 216

The Wind Tunnel FluidoSurge-X 216 is an Eiffel type subsonic wind tunnel for aerodynamic experiments. It enables measurement of lift, drag, velocity, and pressure distribution on models. The setup includes a transparent measuring section, force sensor, and multi tube manometer. It is suitable for aerodynamics and fluid mechanics laboratory teaching.

The Wind Tunnel FluidoSurge-X 216 is designed for experimental study of aerodynamic flow and force characteristics on bodies in air. It enables controlled investigation of lift, drag, pressure distribution, and boundary layer behavior. The system uses an Eiffel type open circuit configuration with a transparent measuring section. It is suitable for aerodynamics and fluid mechanics laboratory instruction.


Product Overview

The SCIENTICO Wind Tunnel FluidoSurge-X 216 is an experimental subsonic wind tunnel used to demonstrate aerodynamic principles under controlled airflow conditions. Air is drawn from the environment, accelerated through a nozzle, and guided through a closed transparent measuring section where models remain stationary. A diffuser decelerates the flow before it is discharged back to the atmosphere by an axial fan. Uniform velocity distribution with minimal turbulence is achieved using a carefully designed inlet contour, nozzle, and flow straightener. The system is equipped with an electronic two component force sensor for direct measurement of lift and drag. Air velocity is indicated using an inclined tube manometer and digital display. A sixteen tube manometer is provided for detailed pressure distribution measurements on test models.
