Design and development of wind tunnel for contraction ratio effects to the velocity and boundary layer thickness

Wind tunnel is one of the tools that used in the aerodynamics research to recognize the air flow moving through a solid. It is not only been used in automotive but also in the construction of the building. Develop of the wind tunnel require specific parameters that need to be consider. Parameters su...
