The Subsonic wind tunnel is developed for experimentation and demonstration purposes in the fields of aerodynamics and fluid mechanics.
It is subsonic wind tunnel capable of reaching speeds up to 25 m/s. The design is an open wind tunnel made in three sections (intake nozzle, Test Section, and Diffuser. The test section is square with cross- section 60 cm*60 cm and built with transparent acrylic for easy visualization during test. The extensive range of available accessories permits the performance of numerous experiments on the fluid pressure measurement, force measurement and flow visualization
