Abstract

A wind tunnel is a tool used in aerodynamic research to study the effects of air moving past solid objects. A wind tunnel consists of a closed tubular section with the object under test mounted in the middle. This study conducted a test to verify the distributed airflow in the Test Section Wind Tunnel. The wind tunnel has several rooms with their respective functions. Broadly speaking, each chamber has an interrelated function, namely to maintain uniform airflow into the test chamber and out of the test chamber. Thus, the level of turbulence in the test room as long as there is no tested object will be eliminated. The test results get the average percentage of data on the whole field 1 to field 4, namely field three wind speed one m/s (6%) the highest and the lowest field four wind speed five m/s (0.4%). And the average data percentage of field 1 to field 4 (dots) at 1 m/s field 1 equal to 9.8% and at 4 m/s field 1 equal to 1.2%.
