โœฆ Synopsis

In the present work an experimental comparison is made between two adaptation strategies: the Iudd's method and the Everhart's method. A NACA 0012 airfoil has been tested at Mach numbers up to 0.4: models with chords up to 200 mm have been tested in a 200 mm x 200 mm test section. The two strategies, though based on different theoretical approaches, show a fairly good agreement as far as cp distribution on the model, lift and drag curves and residual interference are concerned and agree, in terms of lift curve slope and drag coefficient at zero lift, with the McCroskey correlation.

The hybrid wind tunnel principle is an economical alternative to classical wind tunnels. Wall adaptation tests are reported which are performed in a small scale arrangement duplicating original kinematic relations. A new method for controlling the quality of wall adaptation is presented which is bas
