## 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\.
