Design And Development Of A Continuous Open Return Transonic Wind Tunnel Facility

Wind Tunnel Test Techniques: Design and Use at Low and High Speeds with Statistical Engineering Applications provides an up-to-date treatment of the topic. Beginning with a brief history of wind tunnels and its types and uses, the book goes on to cover subsonic, supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnel design and construction, calibration, boundary corrections, flow quality assessment, pressure surveys, and dynamic testing. It also focuses on wind tunnel facilities, making it useful for both the designer and operator. Engineers and graduate students in aerospace, automotive and similar programs will find this book useful in their work with experimental aerodynamics, gas dynamics, facility design and performance. Deals with a broad range of flow speeds in wind tunnels, from low speed to high speed Provides a discussion of similarity laws as well as material on statistical analysis Includes coverage on facility-to-facility and facility-to-CFD correlation Presents advanced topics such as cryogenic wind tunnels, ground simulation in automotive testing, and propulsion testing

Design and Development of a Gas Dynamics Facility and a Supersonic Wind Tunnel.

Numerous aspects of transonic aerodynamics include wall interference corrections in conventional wind tunnels, subsonic flow in a variety of wind tunnels, and test results from transonic wind tunnels. 1961 edition.

The 7- by 10-Foot transonic wind tunnel at the Naval Ship Research and Development Center is described together with some of the associated test support equipment, and testing capabilities. Procedures for potential users to follow in arranging for test and analysis services are included.
