Measuring Skin Friction Drag over a Flat Plate Using Thin Oil Film Interferometry
Abstract
Skin friction drag is a difficult aerodynamic property to measure on a wind tunnel model and hard to predict using computational fluid dynamics. One solution which may help improve and/or solve some of these issues is an experimental method called Thin Oil film Interferometry (TOFI).
