Abstract

The test chamber in an open-loop wind tunnel is a critical part for aerodynamic experiment. The study aims to assess the feasibility of the new design of test chamber for open–loop wind tunnel by studying the fluid characteristic and the average pressure in the test chamber. The study is done by a series experimental test for the test chamber. From experimental test, the downstream velocity in the test chamber is increased from 8.9 m/s to 12.72 m/s where the pressure gradient is ranging from 6.19 to 8.398 atm with the overall turbulence intensity for the test chamber is 0.749%. According to the results, the designed open-loop wind tunnel is acceptable to use for an aerodynamic test.
