You could use the prop to pull the air through so it isn't churned up going in. Bryan /// unsubscribe/change address requests to majordomo@autox.team.net or try /// http://www.team.net/mailman/listi

Low speed wind tunnels don't blow they suck. That puts the prop wash down stream from the model. Most are re entrant also. The air passes through the test section into an expanding diffuser, through

I concur. Put the fan behind the model to pull air over it. Otherwise you will never get the turbulence and pulsations of the fan blades out of the air stream. Also, in many cases, you will want to r

You will probably still need a flow straightener. The twist of the air flow caused by the prop may still be evident in front of the prop. Not sure about this but I would expect it. It is darn sure in

I think that it will be very useful. I talked to two different bike racers, over the years, that had vented their tanks to low pressure areas. You will be able to avoid things like that. I suggest yo

Jack, you hit the nail on the head with your answer. You really need to know what question you want the answer to before you start building the tunnel. And because of the edge effects it will need to
