Turbulent Air Jet

The turbulent air jet apparatus consists of
a 15 cm long honeycomb section, seven screens, a settling chamber, and a
34:1 contraction ratio to a 25.4 mm diameter nozzle. The flow is
driven by an axial blower driven by a servo amplifier. The flow is
aerodynamically clean. Velocity profiles are measured using a hot-film/hot-wire
anemometer.
