摘要
A wall interference assessment and correction method for two-dimensional subsonic wind-tunnel testing is presented. Pressure coefficient and angle-of-attack correction are calculated using velocity measurements on interfaces inside the wind tunnel. A mathematical representation of the test article and tunnel wall boundary conditions is not required. Available experimental data of an NACA 0012 airfoil tested at a Mach number of 0.70 and at two different angle of attack in a solid wall wind tunnel are applied to the method. Blockage corrections are computed and corrected surface pressure coefficients compare favorably to free-air flowfield data if the tunnel flowfield is subsonic. The present wall interference correction method can determine blockage corrections in transonic wind-tunnel flowfields with restrictions. The computed angle-of-attack correction is negligible for the given experimental data.
