Wind Tunnel header

In the contraction cone, if we assume that the speed of airflow is constant, then as we reduce the opening (the cross-sectional area) the airflow will increase.

You can control the cross-sectional area of a contraction cone by clicking on the arrow buttons below. Notice the change in airspeed in the tunnel as the cone decreases in size.
