Diseño y construcción de un Generador de Humo para visualización de flujos en túnel de viento.

Abstract

This paper describes the process that was carried out for the design and construction of a smoke generator for flow visualizations in a wind tunnel located at the University of Pamplona. A description of the analysis of the functions of the employees is presented for the selection of the different equipment and devices that make up the final prototype of the smoke generator. Glycerine was selected as the working fluid for the generation of the steam introduced into the wind tunnel through several jets that accompany the current lines on a test body. Some previous calculations were made for the selection of devices. A description of selected commercial devices is included and the final assembly of the equipment is presented. Finally, display test images are presented with a numerical simulation comparison in ANSYS fluent.
