Lift measurement of airfoil AH93-157 from wall pressure distribution by Procházka Pavel, Skála Vladislav, Antoš Pavel, Popelka Lukáš, Fürst Jiří, Schmirler Michal

“…Measurement of the lift coefficient of the AH93-157 airfoil was performed by measuring the static pressure distribution on the wind tunnel walls along the test-section. A correlation was established between the lift coefficient value, determined by integrating the static pressure distribution on the wind tunnel walls, and the lift coefficient value, determined by integrating the static pressure distribution on the airfoil surface. …”
