Abstract

The wind tunnel is widely known for its significance in civil, environment, automobile and aeronautical applications. The wind tunnel is one such system that gives us desired environment conditions of scaled model which will give a replica of how it will work in real world. Therefore, to develop such wind tunnel, its design plays an important role while calculating various wind tunnel parameters like Drag, Lift, Pressure distribution, etc. The presence of wind tunnel with no doubt brings large amount of possibilities to study and understand complex fluid flows around the scaled model which is placed in the test section. Now a days, cost savings becomes more important factor while designing and development of various essential components that are used in aerospace and automobile industries. In the real time designs however need to be verified and examined so that the budget constraints can be done on appropriate scale. Convergent section has a frontal are which measures 30cm*30cm*61cm and divergent section has an area which measures 43cm*43cm*122cm. Divergent section is equipped with exhaust fan suction purpose.
