A Brief Investigation of the Two-Dimensionality of the Flow over an Aerofoil in the RAE 8ft x 6ft Transonic Wind Tunnel.
Abstract
Oilflow on the surface and pitot pressure measurements in the wake of a 0.762m chord aerofoil in the RAE 8ft x 6ft tunnel indicate that there is no significant spanwise convergence or divergence of the flow within the boundary layer and wake of the model. The measurements were made at subsonic conditions where no regions of separated flow existed on the model, but where significant subsonic drag creep had previously been measured. (Author)
