Flow Visualisation Wind Tunnel

Product Code : SLE/EA/03

Flow Visualisation Wind Tunnel (Product Code: SLE/EA/03) is a vertical, suction-type smoke wind tunnel used to show how air flows around differently shaped models during demonstrations and student investigations in aerodynamics and fluid mechanics laboratories. Its distinguishing feature is a smoke comb below the lit, transparent working section, fed by a generator that vaporises food-grade oil, with air flowing vertically upwards. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Flow Visualisation Wind Tunnel Used For?

Smoke released from the comb forms thin, parallel filaments that rise through the working section and bend around whatever model is fixed there. A class can watch the streamlines stay attached to a streamlined shape, break away behind a flat plate or cylinder, and roll up into a wake. Moving the comb from side to side lets students trace the flow over the top, middle or edge of a model, and changing fan speed shows how the pattern alters as velocity rises.

The removable front wall makes swapping models quick between demonstrations, and the lamps on both sides make the smoke easy to see, even for a group standing back from the tunnel. Dim the room lights for the clearest view, keep the smoke generator topped up with the correct oil, and wheel the tunnel to a store area on its castors after use.

What to Specify When Ordering

  • Which optional models you want for the working section.
  • Supply of smoke oil for the generator; ask us about the correct grade and quantity.
  • Your mains supply for the fan, lamps and smoke generator, which is not stated in the listing.
  • Number of tunnels for lecture rooms and student labs.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM behind the Flow Visualisation Wind Tunnel. The tunnel is manufactured at the company's own licensed factory at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and dispatched directly from there to customers.

Because the maker handles every enquiry itself, schools of engineering, science centres, dealers and importers can order extra models, spares and repeat units from the same source — ask us for anything you need. Find more on the company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Flow Visualisation Wind Tunnel produce smoke?
The Flow Visualisation Wind Tunnel uses a smoke generator that vaporises food-grade oil. The smoke, listed as non-toxic, is fed to a comb below the working section, where it forms visible filaments that follow the upward air flow around the model.

Which way does air flow in the Flow Visualisation Wind Tunnel?
Air flows vertically upwards in the Flow Visualisation Wind Tunnel. It is a suction-type tunnel: a variable-speed fan on top draws air through a filter and the working section, which helps give a uniform flow for clear smoke lines.

Are models included with the Flow Visualisation Wind Tunnel?
Models for the Flow Visualisation Wind Tunnel are listed as optional. They attach to the back of the working section once the transparent front wall is removed. Tell us which shapes you want so they can be added to your quotation.

Can the Flow Visualisation Wind Tunnel be moved between rooms?
Yes. The Flow Visualisation Wind Tunnel stands on a metal frame fitted with castors, and the fan-speed control unit is mounted on the same frame, so the whole tunnel can be wheeled between a lecture room and a laboratory.

Who manufactures the Flow Visualisation Wind Tunnel?
The Flow Visualisation Wind Tunnel is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct across India and international markets.
