The IAR High Reynolds Number Two-Dimensional Test Facility - A description of Equipment and Procedures Common to Most 2-D Airfoil Tests

Abstract

This report describes features and operational procedures which are common to the great majority of wind tunnel test projects conducted in the Two- Dimensional (2-D) Test Facility of the Institute of Aerospace Research (IAR) 1. 5m Trisonic Blowdown Wind Tunnel in Ottawa, Canada. It is intended to be used as a reference document describing the 'facility specific' aspects of tests performed in the above facility, to be referred to by test reports for individual projects, so allowing those reports to concentrate on aspects which are specific to the particular model and test. The report describes the 2-D test facility as modernized by the commissioning of a new interchangeable 2-D test section module in early 1989. The document will be updated periodically to ensure that it correctly reflects current capability and practice.
