Wind tunnel is a device used to test aero models, automobiles and building structures. It is used to give appropriate shape to the structure. We calculated aerodynamic characteristics analytically for different models whereas wind tunnel can give practical values and we wanted to know how this can be designed

A compact, practical open-circuit suction wind tunnel for studying aerodynamics. The wind tunnel saves time and money compared with full-scale wind tunnels or airborne laboratories, and it offers a wide variety of experiments. The wind tunnel gives accurate results and is suitable for undergraduate study and research projects. TecQuipment offers a comprehensive range of optional models and instrumentation, including a computer-based data acquisition system.
