LAB DESCRIPTIONWelcome to the Aerospace Wind Tunnel Laboratory at USM, Engineering Campus. The lab is equipped with a low speed subsonic, closed circuit wind tunnel with a rectangular test section of 0.8 m x 1.0 m x 1.8 m, top speed of 80 m/s with turbulence level around 0.1%. We have a 6-component internal balance capable to measure aerodynamic loads, a pressure scanner for pressure measurements and smoke wire systems for flow visualization analysis. Specially-designed quadrant mechanism is installed underneath the test section to allow for control on the pitch and yaw. In addition, a traversing system is mounted on the roof of the test section to allow for movement in 3 directions (upward/downward, stream wise and cross wise) for flexibility to cater for any experimental arrangements. All movement systems can be controlled either manually or automatically from the control room. The test section floor is movable to accommodate various wind tunnel testing configuration. The wind tunnel facility is also fully utilized for the undergraduate studies under OEL (Open-Ended Lab) Course to provide broad experience and exposure for the student’s development.
