Open full text 4 citations

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss how CFD may be used for better understanding of wind tunnel tests. Three examples are used to illustrate the potential use of CFD to help the understanding of phenomena observed in the wind tunnel tests, to extend/derive simple aerodynamic criteria based on CFD, and to use CFD to improve the accuracy of wind tunnel measurements.
