Evaluation of wind tunnel wall interference using homogeneous and measured boundary conditions

The experimental results obtained in a wind tunnel must be subjected to a correction process which aims to eliminate the influence of the limited dimensions of the flow field around the model. This is necessary because the results must be independent of the characteristics of the laboratory where th...

description The experimental results obtained in a wind tunnel must be subjected to a correction process which aims to eliminate the influence of the limited dimensions of the flow field around the model. This is necessary because the results must be independent of the characteristics of the laboratory where they were obtained, in order to ensure the quality of the parameters.The wall corrections are applied to the global quantities that characterize the undisturbed flow, such as the Mach number or the dynamic pressure, but they are also applied to the quantities related to the model, namely the global aerodynamic coefficients.Consequently the corrections will be applied to the global quantities of the undisturbed flow and therefore they will be transmitted to the aerodynamic quantities related to the model.
