 INTRODUCTION

Aerodynamics is the part of fluid mechanics that studies the motion of gases and the forces or reactions to which the bodies they interact
with are subjected. Aerodynamics is not only important by itself but also as a complement to aeronautics. According to Mach number, or
relative speed of a movable object with respect to air, these studies are divided into subsonic and supersonic aerodynamics, depending on
whether that number is higher or lower than one.
Knowing the aerodynamics principles is useful for many activities, from the take-off and piloting of an airplane to driving a car or kicking
a ball. Every time we move or throw an object, there are many physical principles acting, but we do not notice them.
A wind tunnel is a place widely used to determine the action of wind on different types of bodies. The model under study remains
motionless, whereas air moves to generate the desired flow.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Aerodynamic Tunnel, 300 x 300 mm, “TA300/300“, is a wind tunnel designed to study subsonic aerodynamics in a tunnel in open
circuit and with incompressible subsonic flow. Air is drawn by a variable speed fan located
at the discharge end of the tunnel. Several models and accessories are available, allowing a
comprehensive study of subsonic aerodynamics.
The unit includes several tunnel sections. In the same order in which the flow crosses them, they
are: lips, haven section, contraction, working area, diffuser and fan.
Lips and a haven section are incorporated at the tunnel inlet to reduce the pressure drop and
the interferences in the flow. An 9.5:1 contraction ratio and a perfectly studied contour curve of
the contraction ensures well developed airflow through the working area.
The working area is located after the contraction. It is a constant section tract, where the
models to be tested are assembled, and the dimensions of the transverse section is bigger than TA300/300 detail
the models. It is made of PMMA to allow to observe the models. This section includes a Pitot static tube in the top side to study the static
pressure, dynamic pressure and total pressure.
A diffuser is included at the tunnel outlet to avoid the generation of turbulences, which can generate damages in the current quality at the
working area.
An axial-flow fan, located at the discharge end of the tunnel, provides a more uniform velocity profile at the working area. An electronic
console contains the controller for the axial fan.
There are sixty different appropriate tappings for the pressure takings (along the tunnel and in the different models). The unit includes a
twenty tube water manometer to measure the static pressure.
The models are mounted on a circular hatch, and they are coupled to the working area to seal the opening. They are secured by knobs
on the side wall of the working area.
