The design and manufacturing of a water tunnel

Abstract

Fluid dynamics is a necessary study to any one travelling through different mediums. The nature of a fluid affects the efficiency, performance and maneuverability of any body submerged in it or travelling through it. Many studies, research and development efforts are performed in order to improve the hydrodynamics. However, the designs could be optimized by experimentation. Flow visualization can be achieved by using wind tunnels or water tunnels. This project is concerned with the design and manufacture a low velocity water tunnel to be able to achieve flow visualization.
