1. Measurement of static and total pressure in wind tunnel.

2. Wind tunnel flow velocity calibrations by flow velocity and fan speed measurements

3. Surface pressure measurements on a symmetric aerofoil model and study of the effect of angle of incidence on pressure distribution

4. Lift, drag and pitching moment measurements on symmetric aerofoil model and study of the effect of angle of incidence.

5. Measurement of mean velocity distribution in the wake of a symmetric aerofoil model.

6. Smoke flow visualization studies on model of aerofoil, cylinder, flat plate, sphere, wedge etc.
