Unit I Need of Experiments

Need of experiments

(i)Theory is incomplete and needs to be supplemented.

(ii) Information of fundamental nature needed in many areas.

Experimental information towards solving aerodynamic problems could be obtained in a number of ways. Flight tests, rocket flights, drop tests water tunnels, ballistic ranges and wind tunnels are some of the ways by which aerodynamic data can be generated. With the help of well performed experiments even information of fundamental nature could be derived.

Wind tunnel
Majority of experimental data needed in aerodynamics is generated using wind tunnels. Wind Tunnel is a device for producing airflow relative to the body under test. Wind tunnels provide uniform flow conditions in their test section.
