Dynamic similarity
The flow patterns on the full scale body and the model will be
exactly similar

The effuser makes the flow ready for the test section conditions
The test section provides the desired uniform flow conditions along
and across the section
After each run, the intake gets air fresh from the atmosphere
Closed circuit
Large velocity causes skin friction and losses due to obstacles will
be correspondingly large

REDUCTION OF TURBULENCE
Larger eddies are broken down to smaller ones and the smaller
ones decay rapidly, Multiple screens reduce turbulence
intensity
13
Reasons for keeping the screens at the beginning of the tunnel circuit
is to ensure that they are at the low velocity regions where the Re is
the least

THE DIFFUSER
The diffuser in the wind tunnel serves the purpose of salvaging the
kinetic energy of flow in the test section as pressure energy
