Computer Controlled Subsonic Wind Tunnel
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-9931
The computer controlled subsonic wind tunnel (SKU JA-FMAHLE-9931) is a small wind tunnel for undergraduate aerodynamics and air flow teaching. An inverter controlled AC fan gives air speeds up to 34 m/s through a clear acrylic working section of 150 x 150 x 455 mm, and models mount in the side wall with quick release catches. It is supplied by JaincoLab with educational software and data logging for engineering college laboratories.
Specifications
The computer controlled subsonic wind tunnel has a 150 mm (6 inch nominal) square clear acrylic working section 455 mm long, an inverter controlled AC fan for air velocities up to 34 m/s, computer controlled air flow and a choice of electronic or water manometer banks.

Applications of the subsonic wind tunnel
The subsonic wind tunnel is used to measure pressure distributions and air flow around models at controlled speeds and to make flow patterns visible, covering the basic aerodynamics practicals of mechanical and aeronautical engineering courses.
- Pressure distribution around models mounted in the working section
- Air velocity measurement at speeds up to 34 m/s
- Flow visualisation around bodies
- Bernoulli and air flow studies with the optional air flow studies set
- Data logging and analysis with the educational software in undergraduate laboratories
