This study investigates the flow characteristics inside the test section of 2 Low-Speed Wind Tunnels (LSWTs) of similar cross-section 30 × 30 cm, one with bell mouth contraction and the other with linearly converging contraction. The study involves both experimental and numerical analysis of the flow field. Numerical analysis was carried out using full-scale models of the 2 LSWTs. Experimental measurements were carried out only for the wind tunnel with bell mouth contraction. A Hot Wire Anemometer (HWA) was used to probe the velocity at 63 uniformly spaced locations in the test section. Based on the experimental data, correlation between the velocities at the mid-plane-centre point and rpm of the suction fan is developed and the spatial variations of velocity at different planes are plotted. Turbulence Intensity (T.I. in %) at the upstream plane of the test section was found to vary from 1.39 to 0.43 for velocity range of 1 to 9 m/s respectively. Experimental measurements and numerical results evidence relatively better flow quality in the test section of wind tunnel with bell mouth contraction. The corner flow effects and higher boundary layer thickness made the wind tunnel with linear contraction less efficient and of reduced flow quality.
