Wind Tunnel

The BURET Wind Tunnel is a blow-down type, low-speed wind tunnel located at BURET Laboratory in the Saritepe Campus of Bogazici University. The main application of this wind tunnel is performing experimental tests related to evaporative cooling. Also, this facility has the capability to be used in other experimental research with some alterations in instrumentation.
