Theory: Types of wind tunnels – uncertainty analysis – measurement & flow visualization tech- niques– basics of data acquisition and signal processing.

Experiments: Measurement of lift and drag on airfoil and cylinder using various methods (pressure measurements, wake survey, and force balance) – flow visualization (smoke, oil, and optical) – free jet characteristics.

Course Outcomes (COs):

CO1: Explain the design principles of wind tunnels and relevant flow diagnostic techniques.

CO2: Evaluate and select appropriate experimental techniques to understand the flow physics.

CO3: Collaborative with colleagues to perform experiments in low speed wind tunnels.

CO4: Post processing and analyzing of experimental data.

CO5: Collaborative with colleagues to disseminate the findings in the form of reports and presen- tations.
