Book excerpt: A wind-tunnel test section with closed upper wall, slotted side walls, and open lower boundary was found theoretically to produce zero tunnel-boundary lift interference on a small wing with horizontal wake mounted at the center of the test section. For this test section the variation of the interference with angle of the vortex wake behind a high-lift-coefficient model was not large. Because of the small slot widths required for zero interference and of the effects of boundary layer, the theory is regarded as unreliable for predicting the slot widths required; however, the variation of the interference with the slot width for widths somewhat greater than those needed for zero interference was found to be small. The interference in the region likely to be occupied by the tall of a model was investigated in some detail and was found to change with slot width and with wake angle more strongly than did the interference at the lifting element. A limited investigation of the lift interference in a test section with closed upper wall and slotted side and lower boundaries was made to obtain the theoretically indicated slot width required for zero lift interference at a center-mounted wing with the wake horizontal.

Book excerpt: The wind tunnel boundary interference on a V/STOL model is calculated in a rectangular test section with solid vertical walls and ventilated (perforated or slotted) horizontal walls. The interference is found by applying the small perturbation theory of an incompressible fluid to the boundary value problem. The theory uses an image method in addition to Fourier transforms with an equivalent homogeneous boundary condition on the ventilated wall. The mathematical representation of the V/STOL model accounts for the curvature and decay of the wake. The assumption of a constant wake strength produces a paradox in that the maximum value of the interference factors increases as the initial jet velocity decreases. The most significant aspect of the analysis shows that nonlinear cross-flow effects at the tunnel boundary are important in the V/STOL case, and a quasi-linear approximation to these effects is introduced into the solution providing good agreement with experimental data.

Book excerpt: The investigation reported herein is the experimental portion of a unified theoretical and experimental search for a slotted wind tunnel wall configuration with minimal interference for conventional and V/STOL models. It is shown that theory and experiment are in excellent agreement for the classical case provided an appropriate expression is used to relate the wall geometry to the boundary condition. Classical data correction equations are not appropriate for the V/STOL case, however. An additional term, not predicted by theory, is needed to account for changes in the jet wake. Geometric parameters which influence the wall interference quantities are indicated. Wall configurations are shown which will produce interference-free force data to a jet-to-free-stream velocity ratio of 4.5. (Author).

Book excerpt: Interference factors are developed as a function of the degree to which the wake is deflected downward. At large wake deflections the interference may be much greater than indicated by classical theory. Methods are given for extending the present numerical results to tests involving multielement and finite-span models. The theory can be at least partially verified by means of available data. Tables of calculated interference factors are presented in NASA Technical Notes D-933, D-934, D-935, and D-936.
