Chapter 4, Problem 18P
A university laboratory that generates 15 m3/s of air flow at design condition wishes to build a wind tunnel with variable speeds. It is proposed to build the tunnel with a sequence of three circular test sections: section 1 will have a diameter of 1.5 m, section 2 a diameter of 1 m, and section 3 a diameter such that the average speed is 75 m/s.
- (a) What will be the speeds in sections 1 and 2?
- (b) What must the diameter of section 3 be to attain the desired speed at design condition?

Air flows through the test section of a small wind tunnel at speed V = 7.5 ft/s. The temperature of the air is 80°F, and the length of the wind tunnel test section is 1.5 ft. Assume that the boundary layer thickness is negligible prior to the start of the test section. Is the boundary layer along the test section wall laminar or turbulent or transitional?From
above problem.assume the flow remains laminar, and estimate the boundary layer thickness, the displacement thickness, and the momentum thickness of the boundary layer at the end of the test section. Give your answers in inches, compare the three results, and discuss. .
A small, axisymmetric, low-speed wind tunnel is built to calibrate hot wires. The diameter of the test section is 6.68 in, and its length is 12.5 in. The air is at 60°F. At a uniform air speed of 5.0 ft/s at the test section inlet, by how much will the centerline air speed accelerate by the end of the test section? What should the engineers do to eliminate this acceleration?
A model of the Airbus 320 is tested in a wind tunnel using air at standard conditions. If the tunnel airspeed is 50m/s, calculate the water speed if the same model is to be tested in a water tunnel atdynamically similar conditions. Take mair=1.73 x 10-5Pa.s, mwater=10-3Pa.s, rair=1.225kg/m3 andrwater=1000 kg/m3.
