Preliminary Mid-Field Flow Angle Measurements in the AFFDL 15 Inch Slotted Wall Tunnel

Abstract

The feasibility of obtaining high resolution flow angle data in the mid-field region under transonic flow conditions has been demonstrated. Data gathered in this manner are suitable as input to wall correction schemes and can serve to check adequacy of new wall designs. It remains to confirm whether or not the measurements are indeed accurate enough such that systematic reduction of mid-field discrepancies will yield interference free conditions on the test article.
