ABSTRACT
A Wind Tunnel Testing Machine
(WTTM) is a tool used in Aerodynamic research
to study the effects of Air moving past to the solid
objects. A wind tunnel testing machine consists of
a closed tubular passage with the object under test
mounted in the middle and powerful fan system
moves air past to the object. The wing (airfoil)
provides lift by creating a situation where the
pressure above the wing is lower than the pressure
below the wing. Since the pressure below the wing
is higher than the pressure above the wing. The
readings has been taken on airfoil model in Wind
Tunnel Testing Machine (WTTM) at different air
velocity 20m/sec, 25m/sec, 30m/sec and different
angle of attack 00
,50
,100
,150
,200
. Air velocity and
pressures are measured in several ways in wind
tunnel testing machine by use to measuring
instruments like Anemometer and Multi tube
manometer. The Surface roughness of an airfoil is
can be measure by Surface roughness tester. The
heat signature of a testing model is can be
measure by Thermal Imaging Camera. The CFD
analysis is also carried out at various sections of
airfoil angles and velocity. The maximum
performance to the airfoil model is achieved at 100
on angle of attack.
I. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Wind Tunnel
A wind tunnel is a tool use in Aerodynamic
research to study the effects of Air moving past to the
solid objects.
Fig 1 Wind Tunnel Machine
A wind tunnel consists of a closed tubular
passage with the object under test mounted in the
middle and powerful fan system moves air past to the
object.
1.2 AIRFOIL
The airplane generates lift using its wings,
the cross sectional shape of the wing is called an
airfoil. An airfoil (in American English) or aerofoil
(in British English) is the shape of a wing or blade.
Fig 2 Airfoil Testing Model
1.3 Angle Of Attack
Angle of attack is the angle between the
body's reference line and the oncoming flow.
Fig 3 Airfoil Model
1.4 Light Airplanes
The takeoff and landing speed to a many
light airplanes is 40 knots (72 km/h, 20 m/sec) to 55
knots (101 km/h, 28 m/sec).

The takeoff speed is usually dependant on
the airplane weight, the heavier the weight, the
greater speed needed. Some aircraft are specifically
designed for short takeoff and landing, which they
achieve by becoming airborne at very low speed.
1.5 Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
Analysis
Computational fluid dynamics is a branch of
fluid mechanics that uses numerical methods and
algorithms to solve and analyze problems that
involve fluid flows. Computers are used to perform
the calculations required to simulate the interaction of
liquids and gases with surfaces defined by boundary
conditions.
II. EXPERIMENTAL DETAILS
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Fig 5 Wind Tunnel Testing Machine (WTTM)
Air velocity through the test section is
determined by anemometer and all its readings are
taken. Pressure readings on airfoil test model can
determine by multi tube manometer. Smoke can be
introduced in to the airflow upstream of the test
model, and their path around the model can be
photographed.
2.2 EXPERIMENTAL SETUP
2.2.1 WIND TUNNEL COMPONENTS
(i) ENTRY SECTION
The entry is shaped to guide the air
smoothly into the tunnel. Proper flow separation here
would give excessive turbulence and non uniformity
in velocity in the working section. So 2 to 2.5 meter
air space is required to entry. The entry section is
followed by a settling chamber which leads to be
contraction to get velocity increase, which is
connected with working section. Contraction is a
specially designed carved due to give good results in
test section. The setting chamber usually includes a
honeycomb.
Fig 6 Entry Section
(ii) WORKING SECTION
Fig 7 Working Section
It is also called test section as we can fit the
models and use this space for experimentation. Wind
Tunnel is having 300 mm x 300 mm test section with
1 meter length and two windows to insert the models.
(iii) DIFFUSER SECTION
Fig 8 Diffuser Section
The working section is followed by a
divergent duct. The divergence results in a
corresponding reduction in the flow speed. Diffuser
reduces in dynamic pressure leads to reduction in
power losses at the exit. Leaving the diffuser, the air
enters the lab, along which it flows slowly to get this
retardation 2 meters air space is to be provided.
(iv) FAN AND DRIVE

A six blade fan is fitted to a sturdy frame
work and is coupled to a Motor. This motor is
controlled with a variable frequency. Digital display
which gives smooth variation of air velocity in test

2.2.3 MEASURING INSTRUMENTS
Air velocity and pressures are measured in
several ways in wind tunnel.
(i) ANEMOMETER
An anemometer measures the air speed in
wind tunnel. An anemometer is a device for
measuring wind speed, and the term is derived from
the Greek word anemos, meaning wind, and is used
to describe any airspeed measurement instrument
used in meteorology or aerodynamics. The first
known description of an anemometer was given by
Leon Battista Alberti around year 1450.
Fig 10 Anemometer
In the anemometer the pressure is measured,
although the scale is usually graduated as a velocity
scale. In cases where the density of the air is
significantly different from the calibration value (as
on a high mountain) an allowance must be made.
(ii) MANOMETER
The multi tube manometer consists of 16
manometers with a mm scale mounted on a swiveling
panel. Water is supplied to the manometers centrally
from a water reservoir. This instrument provides
multipoint pressure measuring facility. An element
corresponds to the pressure at a point. It consists of a
reservoir for the manometer liquid open to the
atmospheric pressure. The reservoir is connected to a
number of tubes at the bottom where all the tubes are
the points of interest at which pressure is to be
measured.
Fig 11 Manometer
There are 16 tubes of the same length,
connections provided to these tubes for connecting
the tubes of the other tube coming from the point of
interest. Pressures are measured relative to
atmospheric datum.
(iii) SURFACE ROUGHNESS TESTER
Surface roughness tester can measure the
texture of an airfoil surface in wind tunnel. It is
quantified by the vertical deviations of a real surface
from its ideal form. If these deviations are large, the
surface is rough; if they are small the surface is
smooth. Surface roughness is typically considered to
be the high frequency, short wavelength component
of a measured surface.
Fig 12 Surface Roughness Tester
Surface roughness plays an important role in
determining how a real object will interact with its
environment. Rough surfaces usually wear more
quickly and have higher friction coefficients than
smooth surfaces. Surface roughness is typically
measured in micro inches.
(iv) THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA
Thermal Imaging Camera can be used to see
the heat signature of an airfoil testing model in wind
tunnel. A Thermal Imaging Camera is a device that
forms an image using infrared radiation, similar to a
common camera that forms an image using visible

light. A Thermal Imaging Camera is a type of thermo
graphic camera.
Fig 13 Thermal Imaging Camera
A Thermal Imaging Camera consists of five
components: an optic system, detector, amplifier,
signal processing, and display. Thermal imaging
cameras incorporate these components in a heat
resistant, ruggedized, and waterproof housing. These
parts work together to infrared radiation, such as that
given by warm objects or flames, in to a visible light
representation in real time.

The 200
angle of attack is creating the higher pressure at bottom surfaces but the pressure curve is not
smooth at different air velocity.
Fig 34 200
Angle Of Attack at 20, 25 and 30m/sec Velocity
The Wind Tunnel Testing Machine (WTTM) air pressure and velocity readings charts show that the
maximum performance of the airfoil model has been achieved at 100
angle of attack.
V. CONCLUSIONS
The readings have been taken on airfoil
model in Wind Tunnel Testing Machine (WTTM)
at different air velocity 20 m/sec, 25 m/sec,
30m/sec and different angle of attack 00
, 50
, 100
,
150
, 200
. The airfoil provides lift by creating a
situation where the pressure above the airfoil is
lower than the pressure below the airfoil. Since the
pressure below the airfoil is higher than the
pressure above the airfoil. The wind tunnels air
pressure and velocity readings charts shown that
the maximum performance of the airfoil model is
achieved at 100
on angle of attack. The CFD
analyses are also done in software at various
sections of airfoil angles and velocity. The
maximum performance to the airfoil model is
achieved at 100
on angle of attack…..
VI. FUTURE WORK
An airfoil can be designed specifically for
airfoil testing on wind tunnel so that a better
measurement system can be achieved and the angle
of attack and air flow velocity may be varied to
improve the performance of different airfoils. A
proper means for construction of airfoils could be
utilized for further analysis.

A. Thakkar2 , K. H. Thakkar3 , Bhavesh A. Patel4 (ME Student, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sankalchand Patel College of Engineering, Visnagar, Gujarat, India)1,4 (Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sankalchand Patel College of Engineering, Visnagar, Gujarat, India)2,3 ABSTRACT A Wind Tunnel Testing Machine (WTTM) is a tool used in Aerodynamic research to study the effects of Air moving past to the solid objects. A wind tunnel testing machine consists of a closed tubular passage with the object under test mounted in the middle and powerful fan system moves air past to the object. The wing (airfoil) provides lift by creating a situation where the pressure above the wing is lower than the pressure below the wing. Since the pressure below the wing is higher than the pressure above the wing. The readings has been taken on airfoil model in Wind Tunnel Testing Machine (WTTM) at different air velocity 20m/sec, 25m/sec, 30m/sec and different angle of attack 00 ,50 ,100 ,150 ,200 . Air velocity and pressures are measured in several ways in wind tunnel testing machine by use to measuring instruments like Anemometer and Multi tube manometer. The Surface roughness of an airfoil is can be measure by Surface roughness tester. The heat signature of a testing model is can be measure by Thermal Imaging Camera. The CFD analysis is also carried out at various sections of airfoil angles and velocity. The maximum performance to the airfoil model is achieved at 100 on angle of attack. I. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Wind Tunnel A wind tunnel is a tool use in Aerodynamic research to study the effects of Air moving past to the solid objects. Fig 1 Wind Tunnel Machine A wind tunnel consists of a closed tubular passage with the object under test mounted in the middle and powerful fan system moves air past to the object. 1.2 AIRFOIL The airplane generates lift using its wings, the cross sectional shape of the wing is called an airfoil. An airfoil (in American English) or aerofoil (in British English) is the shape of a wing or blade. Fig 2 Airfoil Testing Model 1.3 Angle Of Attack Angle of attack is the angle between the body's reference line and the oncoming flow. Fig 3 Airfoil Model 1.4 Light Airplanes The takeoff and landing speed to a many light airplanes is 40 knots (72 km/h, 20 m/sec) to 55 knots (101 km/h, 28 m/sec). Fig 4 Light Airplanes

Some aircraft are specifically designed for short takeoff and landing, which they achieve by becoming airborne at very low speed. 1.5 Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Analysis Computational fluid dynamics is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical methods and algorithms to solve and analyze problems that involve fluid flows. Computers are used to perform the calculations required to simulate the interaction of liquids and gases with surfaces defined by boundary conditions. II. EXPERIMENTAL DETAILS 2.1 INTRODUCTION Fig 5 Wind Tunnel Testing Machine (WTTM) Air velocity through the test section is determined by anemometer and all its readings are taken. Pressure readings on airfoil test model can determine by multi tube manometer. Smoke can be introduced in to the airflow upstream of the test model, and their path around the model can be photographed. 2.2 EXPERIMENTAL SETUP 2.2.1 WIND TUNNEL COMPONENTS (i) ENTRY SECTION The entry is shaped to guide the air smoothly into the tunnel. Proper flow separation here would give excessive turbulence and non uniformity in velocity in the working section. So 2 to 2.5 meter air space is required to entry. The entry section is followed by a settling chamber which leads to be contraction to get velocity increase, which is connected with working section. Contraction is a specially designed carved due to give good results in test section. The setting chamber usually includes a honeycomb. Fig 6 Entry Section (ii) WORKING SECTION Fig 7 Working Section It is also called test section as we can fit the models and use this space for experimentation. Wind Tunnel is having 300 mm x 300 mm test section with 1 meter length and two windows to insert the models. (iii) DIFFUSER SECTION Fig 8 Diffuser Section The working section is followed by a divergent duct. The divergence results in a corresponding reduction in the flow speed. Diffuser reduces in dynamic pressure leads to reduction in power losses at the exit. Leaving the diffuser, the air enters the lab, along which it flows slowly to get this retardation 2 meters air space is to be provided. (iv) FAN AND DRIVE Fig 9 Fan and Drive

This motor is controlled with a variable frequency. Digital display which gives smooth variation of air velocity in test section which can be seen on anemometer and one can set the velocity of Air to desired value. 2.2.2 WIND TUNNEL SPECIFICATION Working Section Material: Acrylic Sheet 10 mm Thick Blower Fan: 6 Blades, M.S. Fan A.C. Motor: 5 H.P, 3000 RPM Frequency Drive Controller: High Frequency Inverter Make: “TOSHIBA”, MINIELEC MAKE Model: 400 V, Class VFS7 4037P, 3.7 k w VFD Air velocity in test section: 3 to 30 m/sec Duct Material: Fiber Reinforced Plastic Air length: 9.5 meter Contraction ratio: 9: 1 2.2.3 MEASURING INSTRUMENTS Air velocity and pressures are measured in several ways in wind tunnel. (i) ANEMOMETER An anemometer measures the air speed in wind tunnel. An anemometer is a device for measuring wind speed, and the term is derived from the Greek word anemos, meaning wind, and is used to describe any airspeed measurement instrument used in meteorology or aerodynamics. The first known description of an anemometer was given by Leon Battista Alberti around year 1450. Fig 10 Anemometer In the anemometer the pressure is measured, although the scale is usually graduated as a velocity scale. In cases where the density of the air is significantly different from the calibration value (as on a high mountain) an allowance must be made. (ii) MANOMETER The multi tube manometer consists of 16 manometers with a mm scale mounted on a swiveling panel. Water is supplied to the manometers centrally from a water reservoir. This instrument provides multipoint pressure measuring facility. An element corresponds to the pressure at a point. It consists of a reservoir for the manometer liquid open to the atmospheric pressure. The reservoir is connected to a number of tubes at the bottom where all the tubes are the points of interest at which pressure is to be measured. Fig 11 Manometer There are 16 tubes of the same length, connections provided to these tubes for connecting the tubes of the other tube coming from the point of interest. Pressures are measured relative to atmospheric datum. (iii) SURFACE ROUGHNESS TESTER Surface roughness tester can measure the texture of an airfoil surface in wind tunnel. It is quantified by the vertical deviations of a real surface from its ideal form. If these deviations are large, the surface is rough; if they are small the surface is smooth. Surface roughness is typically considered to be the high frequency, short wavelength component of a measured surface. Fig 12 Surface Roughness Tester Surface roughness plays an important role in determining how a real object will interact with its environment. Rough surfaces usually wear more quickly and have higher friction coefficients than smooth surfaces. Surface roughness is typically measured in micro inches. (iv) THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA Thermal Imaging Camera can be used to see the heat signature of an airfoil testing model in wind tunnel. A Thermal Imaging Camera is a device that forms an image using infrared radiation, similar to a common camera that forms an image using visible

A Thermal Imaging Camera is a type of thermo graphic camera. Fig 13 Thermal Imaging Camera A Thermal Imaging Camera consists of five components: an optic system, detector, amplifier, signal processing, and display. Thermal imaging cameras incorporate these components in a heat resistant, ruggedized, and waterproof housing. These parts work together to infrared radiation, such as that given by warm objects or flames, in to a visible light representation in real time. 2.2.4 AIRFOIL TESTING MODEL READINGS The readings have been taken on airfoil model in Wind Tunnel Testing Machine (WTTM) at different air velocity 20m/sec, 25m/sec, 30m/sec and different angle of attack 00 ,50 , 100 , 150 , 200 .

Fig 34 200 Angle Of Attack at 20, 25 and 30m/sec Velocity The Wind Tunnel Testing Machine (WTTM) air pressure and velocity readings charts show that the maximum performance of the airfoil model has been achieved at 100 angle of attack. V. CONCLUSIONS The readings have been taken on airfoil model in Wind Tunnel Testing Machine (WTTM) at different air velocity 20 m/sec, 25 m/sec, 30m/sec and different angle of attack 00 , 50 , 100 , 150 , 200 . The airfoil provides lift by creating a situation where the pressure above the airfoil is lower than the pressure below the airfoil. Since the pressure below the airfoil is higher than the pressure above the airfoil. The wind tunnels air pressure and velocity readings charts shown that the maximum performance of the airfoil model is achieved at 100 on angle of attack. The CFD analyses are also done in software at various sections of airfoil angles and velocity. The maximum performance to the airfoil model is achieved at 100 on angle of attack….. VI. FUTURE WORK An airfoil can be designed specifically for airfoil testing on wind tunnel so that a better measurement system can be achieved and the angle of attack and air flow velocity may be varied to improve the performance of different airfoils. A proper means for construction of airfoils could be utilized for further analysis. REFERENCES [1] A. Cigada, M. Falco, A.
