Air flow formation in the inlet of a closed circuit boundary layer wind tunnel using the one-set
guide vanes solution
The paper presents tests of wind velocity distribution at the inlet to the working section of a wind tunnel.
Unconventional guide vanes were introduced in the construction of the wind tunnel to obtain a uniform
air flow in this area.
