Abstract: Based on intensive investigation and analysis of low-turbulence wind tunnel, a wind tunnel has been setup at Shanghai Institute of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics. Some notable characteristics include low-turbulence, adaptable turbulence and low noise. Aerodynamic design of the main parts including the inclined fl ow blower, the settling chamber, the contraction section and the working section are described. Together with other experimental facilities, the wind tunnel can be used in the experiments of velocity and pressure measurement for teaching, and in aeronautics and astronautics, building and bridge construction, pollution, automobile industry, etc., for aerodynamic research. 

Key words: adaptable turbulence, wind tunnel, low turbulence
