A 100 mm diameter flat plate for use with the AF1450 Subsonic Wind Tunnel.
This model shows the flow around a bluff body mounted normal to the air flow direction, and the drag force exerted on it.
A holder (included with the AF1450S wind tunnel) supports the model in the tunnel. Alternatively, the Three-Component Balance (AF1450t) can hold the model and measure the drag.
TecQuipment’s Smoke Generator (AFA11, not included) increases the educational value of the experiments by showing the flow of air around the model.
AF1450S - Package
A sizable open circuit, suction subsonic wind tunnel with a working section of 450 mm by 450 mm and 1000 mm length. It provides a cost-effective balance between being able to carry out advanced aerodynamics study, while having a smaller footprint than the largest of TecQuipment’s wind tunnels.
A traversing Pitot static tube with electronic position measurement for use with TecQuipment’s Subsonic Wind Tunnels (AF1300, AF1300s, AF1600s).
Allows students to investigate the direct and indirect measurement of drag on various shapes and to calculate and analyse the drag coefficient by different methods.
