Abstract

Until recently, the problem of low test Reynolds number has limited the usefulness of wind tunnels, especially at transonic speeds. For general-purpose testing, we achieve the best solution to the problem of low test Reynolds number when we operate a relatively big tunnel (2 × 2 m test section or larger) at a relatively high pressure (up to 3 or 4 bar) at cryogenic temperatures using nitrogen (or nitrogen-rich air) as the test gas.
