Abstract

SummaryA technique is described whereby experiments may be conducted on models which are geometrically similar to only part of the full scale configuration with the windtunnel walls being contoured to simulate the flow over that part. In this way, higher spatial resolutions can be achieved in a windtunnel of moderate size. The method is demonstrated by studying the effects of tip geometry on the flow over a wing of aspect ratio 15 using a half wing model of chord 500 mm projecting 1031 mm into a test section of width 1200 mm.
