Abstract:
Summary. A study of steady lift interference effects in wind tunnels with several different wall conditions has been carried out using a three-dimensional resistance network. The methods by which the various boundary conditions were simulated on the network are described in detail; conditions included closed, open, slotted and perforated walls. The evaluation of interference parameters is described, and for a completely closed tunnel these parameters are compared with analytical results. Numerous other examples of a rectangular wind tunnel have been studied and the resultant interference parameters are tabulated.
