Extrapolating Wind-Tunnel Data to Full-Scale Reynolds Number – Part 2: Procedures
Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
ESDU | 2007-11 | 65 |
ESDU 07010 outlines procedures used in transonic wind-tunnel testing
to facilitate the extrapolation of wind-tunnel data to full-scale Reynolds
number.
"Aft fixing" (in which transition is artificially imposed downstream of the
anticipated full-scale location) improves the modelling of important
features (such as the interaction of a shock wave with the boundary layer)
and its use is described in detail. Limitations of the aft-fixing technique
are emphasized, as are the specific considerations relating to particular
test objectives.
