Subsonic Wind Tunnel

A state-of-the-art wind tunnel facility is available with a test section size of 1 m × 1m and 4 m in length with a turbulence level of less than 0.5%. The wind tunnel is equipped with a gust generator and a passive grid. An active free-stream turbulence generator facility is also available. The wind tunnel can cater up to a free stream velocity of 50 m/s. The wind tunnel is equipped with various instruments to measure unsteady forces and moments.

Time-Resolved Particle Image Velocimetry (TR-PIV)

Time-Resolved Particle Image Velocimetry (TR-PIV) is an advanced experimental technique used in fluid dynamics research to measure fluid flow velocity over time. It involves the use of high-speed cameras to capture a sequence of images of tracer particles seeded in the fluid. The images are then analyzed to determine the particle displacement and velocity at various time intervals, providing a detailed insight into the fluid flow dynamics.
