Book Description
Evaluation of wall interference correction procedures was performed using experimental data. The correction procedures incorporated the use of measured data made on an interface near the tunnel wall and the use of two flow-field solvers, a transonic small disturbance solver and an Euler solver. Interference corrections were calculated for data obtained in Tunnel 1T with varying amounts of interference. Results are given for representative subcritical, mildly supercritical, and supercritical flows. Calculated interference levels are compared to experimental interference levels between the interference-free reference data from Tunnel 4T and the data with interference from Tunnel 1T. Keywords: Wall interference; Transonic testing; Wind tunnel data; Flight performance prediction; Assessment techniques; Correction techniques. (JHD).

Book Description
A wind-tunnel interference assessment method applicable to test sections with discrete finite-length wall slots is described. The method is based on high order panel method technology and uses mixed boundary conditions to satisfy both the tunnel geometry and wall pressure distributions measured in the slotted-wall region. Both the test model and its sting support system are represented by distributed singularities. The method yields interference corrections to the model test data as well as surveys through the interference field at arbitrary locations. These results include the equivalent of tunnel Mach calibration, longitudinal pressure gradient, tunnel flow angularity, wall interference, and an inviscid form of sting interference. Alternative results which omit the direct contribution of the sting are also produced. The method was applied to the National Transonic Facility at NASA Langley Research Center for both tunnel calibration tests and tests of two models of subsonic transport configurations.

Book Description
A Wall Signature method originally developed by Hackett has been selected to be adapted for the Ames 12-ft Wind Tunnel WIAC system in the project. This method uses limited measurements of the static pressure at the wall, in conjunction with the solid wall boundary condition, to determine the strength and distribution of singularities representing the test article. The singularities are used in turn for estimating blockage wall interference. The lifting interference will be treated separately by representing in a horseshoe vortex system for the model's lifting effects. The development and implementation of a working prototype will be completed, delivered and documented with a software manual. The WIAC code will be validated by conducting numerically simulated experiments rather than actual wind tunnel experiments. The simulations will be used to generate both free-air and confined wind-tunnel flow fields for each of the test articles over a range of test configurations. Specifically, the pressure signature at the test section wall will be computed for the tunnel case to provide the simulated 'measured' data. These data will serve as the input for the WIAC method--Wall Signature method. The performance of the WIAC method then may be evaluated by comparing the corrected data with those of the free-air simulation. Lo, Ching F. and Overby, Glenn and Qian, Cathy X. and Sickles, W.
