Wind Tunnel - Matrix TSL

Aerodynamics condensed to the bench-top

This compact open circuit sub-sonic wind tunnel training equipment is designed for bench-top use.

Wind Tunnel Overview

This compact open circuit sub-sonic wind tunnel training equipment is designed for bench-top use.
The wind tunnel is designed for teaching aerodynamic principles and exploration of fluid flow. Suitable for college to undergraduate teaching, it features a computer controlled fan, data acquisition and multiple experimental setups, controlled by a touch screen interface and also includes LED flow visualisation.

Test Chamber

The wind tunnel has a 125mm transparent test section and over 35m/s wind speed.

The wind tunnel has a honeycomb structure built into the contraction nozzle (ratio 9.2:1) which ensures uniform flow through the test section. The clear test section allows for visibility and clear understanding of the experimental behaviour. The air exits through a variable speed controlled fan, with a finger guard covering the back.

LCD Screen and Data Acquisition

A modern LCD screen allows for ease of use.

Built in data acquisition allows users to have direct output of pressure readings from pitot static tube and pressure tapping’s. It also allows for real time lift and drag force components to be logged.

Different drag shapes are provided along with multiple NACA profile aerofoils. Simple thread attachment allows students to design their own test pieces for analysis.

Wind Tunnel Solution

There are over 14 experiments included with the wind tunnel. Along with the following, students are able to 3D print endless variations by creating a shape and adding a simple M3 thread, which then attaches directly to the 2 force component unit for testing.
