AN INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF REYNOLDS NUMBER ON VELOCITY SURVEYS CONDUCTED IN THE SUBSONIC WIND TUNNEL.

Abstract

Results are presented of an investigation of the effect of Reynolds number on velocity surveys conducted in a subsonic wind tunnel. A series of velocity surveys was conducted over a wide range of wind velocities. The surveys were made behind two configurations--an axisymmetrical body with appendages and a three-cycle wake screen. The shape of the velocity distribution curves was related to changes in wind velocity; the mean values of the distributions were also related to velocity. (Author)
