Design optimization of three dimensional geometry of wind tunnel contraction

The aim of the present study is to redesign three dimensional geometry of existing open circuit wind tunnel contraction. The present work achieves the recommended contraction ratio, maximum uniformity at the working section mid-plane, without separation, no Gortler vortices in the contraction, and m...
