A Numerical Study of the Aerodynamic Interference of a Model Support System Used in the RAE 5 Metre Wind Tunnel.

Abstract

Some aspects of the lift interference effects of support systems for wind-tunnel models have been investigated using panel method calculations. The mechanisms involved have been clarified and comparison with experimental results for a large civil transport model in the RAE 5 metre Tunnel is encouraging. Keywords: Great Britain; Charts; Subsonic flow; Aerodynamic characteristics. (Author)
