Smith, J. (author)
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...

Labrujere, T.E. (author)
A description is given of a method for the determination of global corrections for wall interference in both solid- and ventilated wall windtunnels, 2D as well as 3D. The method is based on the assumption that the flow velocity is known at a control surface surrounding the model and that the main part of the flow field may be considered...

Slooff, J.W. (author)
An overview is provided of computational methods that can be used in solving the design problem of aerodynamics; i.e. the problem of finding the detailed shape of (parts of) configurations of which the gross geometric characteristics have already been determined in a preliminary, overall design process, and that, subject to certain constraints,...

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...

van den Dam, R.F. (author)
An interactive computer program system has been developed which provides induced-drag analysis, optimization and configuration-design capabilities. The program system employs subsonic far-field (Trefftzplane) analysis, and novel mathematical formulations of the constrained optimization problems which are based on calculus of variations. The...
