Abstract

Aerodynamic forces and moments act on all kinds of vehicles and structures that move in the air or are under the influence of an air current. Wind tunnels are used to find these forces and determine the shape and form of the flow. It is used to examine the aerodynamic structure, parameters such as heat, light, and smoke on the one-to-one product or scaled-down products placed in the wind tunnel under desired conditions. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is used to detect flow velocity fields and eddy formations. Systems integrated into the wind tunnel should be created to use the PIV method, especially in aviation applications. In this study, a wind tunnel was designed for the easy-access and modular test section in the PIV system. The results of the study showed the tunnel dimensions and the power requirement.
