A theoretical exploration of the capabilities of 2D flexible wall test sections for 3D testing

The applicability of two-dimensional flexible solid wall test sections for three-dimensional testing is theoretically investigated for linearized subsonic flow. The method uses known interference velocity distributions along a targer line (derived from a method of images for this particular study). From these, wall shapes are calculated that...

2D wall interference assessment using "Calspan Pipes"

The applicability of a multi-velocity-component static pipe, proposed by CALSPAN ATC, for measuring boundary velocity vector distributions in behalf of wall interference assessment, has been explored in two-dimensional flow. Comparisons with alternative methods to derive the local flow angle from measured pipe pressures as well as analyses of...
