Subsonic Wind Tunnel Testing Handbook

Abstract

This handbook is predominantly structured for subsonic (non- compressible flow), force and moment wind tunnel testing. Its purpose is to provide to the aerodynamic testing engineer equations, concepts, illustrations, and definitions that would aid him or her in wind tunnel testing. The information in this handbook is a living document readily expandable to include personal notes and additional sections. This handbook has not and cannot encompass every wind tunnel testing technique or principle.
