Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Sophisticated methods have become available for computing wind tunnel boundary corrections; this has facilitated the use of smaller wind tunnel facilities with relatively large models, involving higher blockage ratios than previously used. This paper describes an effort to verify this concept by correlating test results on a wing-body model obtained from a smaller tunnel with those from a larger tunnel after applying appropriate corrections. It is verified that even smaller facilities can be used to test reasonably higher blockage models when sophisticated methods are available for the computation of the wall boundary corrections. (B.J.)
