Abstract
A wind tunnel is a device that facilitates the study of fluid flow behavior around the geometry under investigation. However, not everyone has access to a wind tunnel, and some educational institutions have initiated their own projects to construct these facilities. In light of this, we aim to present a more accessible alternative for individuals who want to build their own wind tunnel. Consequently, we have designed and developed a low-cost, open-type wind tunnel, and have captured photographs to facilitate a qualitative comparison between the streamlines obtained through the tunnel and those generated by computational simulations. Our research findings confirm that the affordable wind tunnel can produce good results, thereby establishing it as a readily available resource for educational institutions.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
