Basic geometries of the new closed circuit wind tunnel of the Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM)

The existing UPM low speed wind tunnel was usually occupied by students, who carried out their final year projects or postgraduate researches, so that there was hardly free time slot for any additional testing work. Due to this reason, a new wind tunnel project has been started recently. Some basic...
