| Summary: | The new IIUM low speed tunnel is of a closed-loop type
having a test section of 1.5m × 2.3m × 6m and a maximum
speed of 50 m/s. This paper reports measurement results
for initial calibration and flow characteristics of this newly constructed wind tunnel. The results show that the total pressure varies within 0.999≤Cpt≤1.003, the dynamic
pressure varies from -0.5 to 0.4 percent from the plane
mean value, the flow angularity holds within ±0.2º and the
boundary layer thickness is less than 2 percent of the
equivalent hydraulic diameter of the test section. |
