A series of calibration and flow survey tests were conducted in the 11-By 11-Foot Transonic Wind Tunnel following the modernization of the Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel at the NASA Ames Research Center. These tests included measurements of the static and total pressure which are required to develop the calibration tables used to compute the facility tunnel conditions and to correct the model airplane data for longitudinal buoyancy effects. Measurements of the total temperature, flow angle, and boundary layer characteristics were also made to provide an indication of the flow quality in the test section. Calibration parameters were determined for both test section wall configurations; slots normal for fullspan model testing and floor slots sealed for semi-span model testing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
