Abstract

The function of honeycomb with different length and width in improving flow quality were studied in the course of building a new small section open loop wind tunnel. Instantaneous velocities of turbulent flow in the tunnel were measured by cobra probe. The focus of this study was put on the effect of the honeycomb in attenuating the total turbulence intensity including the free-turbulence carried by the incoming flow and the turbulence generated by the square cells themselves. The change tendency of the mean wind velocity and the total turbulence characteristics in the decay area have been studied by varying the length to cell size ratio L/D, and ratio of distance between the square cells and the measuring position to cell size X/D.
