https://doi.org/10.58445/rars.3826Keywords:
Wind tunnels, AerodynamicsAbstract
The purpose of this research paper is to condense the general knowledge of the design of a wind tunnel. By going through the individual parts of the structure of an open-return wind tunnel, a better understanding of how the wind tunnel is designed can provide researchers and students with better insight into aerodynamics. The paper goes through basic implementations and purposes of the honeycomb structure, the contraction cone, a force balancing system, the diffuser and the fan. An example design is provided.
