Three-Dimensional Drag Models
The set includes a plain sphere, hemisphere, dimpled sphere (similar to a golf ball), flat plate and streamlined (teardrop) shape. All mounted on support arms.
AF1600J - Experiment
Three-Dimensional Drag Models
A set of different shape models for use with the Large Subsonic Wind Tunnel (AF1600S) each with identical frontal area to allow students to compare the different coefficient of drag for each shape. Includes a dummy stem for tests to cancel out the drag due to each model’s support arm.
Description
Essential Base Units
SUBSONIC WIND TUNNEL 600mm
AF1600S - Package
An open circuit suction subsonic wind tunnel with a working section of 600 mm by 600 mm and 1250 mm long. Package includes a Three-Component Balance, Dual Axis Pressure Traverse and associated instrumentation such as a 32-Way Pressure Display Unit and Versatile Data Acquisition System (VDAS-F).
Alternatives

Set of Two NACA0012 Aerofoil with Tappings
AF1600D - Experiment
This set of two NACA0012 aerofoils allows students to compare the results from a full-width aerofoil with a half width aerofoil.
NACA2412 Aerofoil with Variable Flap
AF1600C - Experiment
A 150mm chord NACA2412 aerofoil with 590 span featuring a variable flap that adjusts +/- 90 degrees for use with the AF1600 Subsonic Wind Tunnel.
NACA0012 Aerofoil with Tappings
AF1600B - Experiment
A 150 mm chord NACA0012 aerofoil with 595 mm span and 20 static pressure tappings.
Cylinder Model with Pressure Tapping
AF1600A - Experiment
A cylinder model that spans the full width of the working section of the AF1600S Subsonic Wind Tunnel.
Flat Plate Bundary Layer Model Roughened and Smooth
AF1600F - Experiment
A pair of boundary layer models with a mounting plate, also a pitot and a static probe for investigating boundary layer. One plate is roughened, the other smooth to allow comparisons on boundary layer growth.
