Tunnels are underground or underwater passages typically used for transportation, utilities, or drainage. Key properties include structural integrity, which involves careful engineering to withstand external pressures; ventilation systems to ensure air quality; and waterproofing to prevent water infiltration. Additionally, tunnels often require specific materials and designs to accommodate the geological conditions they traverse, enhancing safety and durability. Proper lighting and emergency exits are also critical for ensuring user safety.
Engineers use them to study the aerodynamic properties of items they are designing, like cars, aircraft, etc.
