Tunnel Wall Interference for Bodies of Revolution in Non-Steady Motion

Abstract

This thesis considers the problem of determining the effects of tunnel wall interference on the measured values of the stability derivatives for axisymmetric bodies. The tunnel wall interference corrections developed apply equally well to both subsonic wind tunnel or water tunnel testing in tunnels with circular test sections.
