Vekke,750mm sounds like a good direction.With the heat we're having here I'd be tempted to 'dive in'.
Wind tunnels attempt to limit the frontal area of the model to 4-5% of the test section cross-sectional area.This might be a good general rule for any tunnel regardless of 'fluid'.
Alan Pope,in his book,was pretty adamant about blockage ratios.
If you're around that figure you should have great results.
I'll look forward to future posts.Great project!
