LIST OF EXPERIMENTS
1. Calibration of subsonic wind tunnel.
2. Pressure distribution over smooth and rough cylinder.
3. Pressure distribution over symmetric airfoils.
4. Pressure distribution over cambered airfoils & thin airfoils
5. Force measurement using wind tunnel
balance.
6. Flow over a flat plate at different angles of incidence
7. Flow visualization studies in low speed flows over cylinders
8. Flow visualization studies in low speed flows over airfoil with different angle of incidence
9. Calibration of supersonic wind tunnel.
10. Supersonic flow visualization with Schlieren system.
