Experimental determination of jet boundary corrections for airfoil tests in four open wind tunnel jets of different shapes (open access)

Experimental determination of jet boundary corrections for airfoil tests in four open wind tunnel jets of different shapes

"This experimental investigation was conducted primarily for the purpose of obtaining a method of correcting to free air conditions the results of airfoil force tests in four open wind tunnel jets of different shapes. Tests were also made to determine whether the jet boundaries had any appreciable effect on the pitching moments of a complete airplane model. Satisfactory corrections for the effect of the boundaries of the various jets were obtained for all the airfoils tested, the span of the largest being 0.75 of the jet width" (p. 609).
