Description

Award of contract for the provision of Six Modular Low-Footprint Moveable Wind Tunnels for Teaching Purposes.

**Please Note** This requirement has already been fulfilled therefore this notice is published for transparency purposes.

The University of Southampton is seeking to procure six modular low-footprint moveable wind tunnels for teaching purposes. The main use of the wind tunnels will be to teach Fluid Mechanic principles and expose students to different experimental techniques:
• Laminar/turbulent boundary layer measurements;
• Force and surface and wake pressure measurement on a cylinder.
Each wind tunnels will have the following key attributes:
• Quick setup, change-over, and removal time;
• Modular design that allows easy switch-over between experiments;
• Smallest floor space usage possible;
• Easy access to all parts of the wind tunnel during use.
We invite tenders from vendors who are able to provide the full life-cycle expertise. In the future we expect to extend the experiment suite to support different teaching labs.
