P3290 – Supersonic Wind Tunnel
This is an open, continuously operating supersonic wind tunnel to investigate pressure distribution along a convergent-divergent nozzle, pressure losses, demonstration of the boundary layers Schlieren method, observation of flow patterns around the aerofoils and much more. Data Sheet PDF
P3260 – Subsonic Open Circuit Wind Tunnel
This is a self-contained facility comprising the tunnel with a three-component balance system (lift, drag and pitching moment) and an air speed indicator. The unit enables students to investigate the pressure distributions around and the forces experienced by aerofoils, cylinders and other models and also to study boundary layers.

P3240 – Fan Test Stand
This has been designed to demonstrate the capability of a centrifugal fan unit in accordance with BS848. It may also be used as the base unit for a series of additional experiments involving air flow in pipes, heat transfer, aerodynamics and compressible flow studies. Data Sheet PDF
P3234 – Turbulent Jet Apparatus
This apparatus demonstrates the general behaviour of a jet of air emitted from a circular pipe into free surroundings and helps to investigate air jet velocity at various distances from the emission point in order to determine both velocity and momentum profiles. Data Sheet PDF
P3233 – Smoke generator
This equipment produces smoke filaments of adequate density to enable flow patterns around various objects to be demonstrated. Data Sheet PDF
P3232 – Boundary Layer Experiment
This experiment is used to determine the thickness of the ‘boundary layer’ where fluid flow meets a stationary surface and investigate the velocity profile within this layer. Data Sheet PDF
P3231 – Two Component Balance
This is a unique system employing vertical and horizontal balance beams to provide independent measurements of lift and drag forces. Data Sheet PDF
P3230 – Two Dimensional Wind Tunnel
This is designed for use with either the Cussons Air Flow Bench or P3240 Fan Test Stand and enables students to investigate pressure distributions around cylinder, aerofoil and other models. Lift and drag forces acting upon models may also be determined with P3231. Data acquisition is also available for this equipment. Data Sheet PDF
