Abstract

The wind tunnel is a useful apparatus to study the flow over the body. The visualization helps to understand the flow field qualitatively and provides information which can help to improve the performance of the aircraft. Among the various techniques used for the flow visualization, smoke visualization technique is less costly and useful for academic purpose. Here, in this paper, an attempt has been made to design a small wind tunnel for smoke visualization. The process of calculations have also been mentioned.
