Hello,

Is there people amongst you who have ever dealt with Wind Tunnel testing?

I cannot find a special section for experiments in this forum...


I have a few topic to launch!

Thanks...
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
This would be the place.
 
hi all,

i dealt with wind tunnel testing for my degree thesis, couple years back.
my thesis title was "Tunnel Correction for Semi-Span Model Testing in Low Speed Wind Tunnel".

maybe i can contribute what i learned about wind tunnel w u guys.
 
What is the problem
 
force balance design

My son and I have built a 4 foot Baals-design wind tunnel. Does anyone know of a good force balance design to use to measure lift. The test section is 10" long by 7" high.
 
hi
What kind of information you need.

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
