Wall Interference in Wind Tunnels

Abstract

The purpose of the Specialists' Meeting was to bring experimental aerodynamicists together to review and discuss current usage and basic developments for wind tunnel wall corrections. The meeting concentrated upon subsonic and transonic flow wall corrections and included consideration of Reynold's number corrections, wall and support interference, flow quality, and aeroelasticity among others. The meeting was organized into sessions of solid wall, ventilated wall, and adaptive wall wind tunnels and a summarizing Round Table Discussion.
