Evaluation of flow quality in two NASA transonic wind tunnels

F. K. Owen, P. C. Stainback, W. D. Harvey

Abstract

Tests have been conducted in the Langley Research Center 8-foot Transonic Pressure Tunnel and the Ames Research Center 12-foot pressure wind tunnel in order to measure characteristic disturbance levels and energy spectra in their respective settling chambers, test sections, and diffusers and to determine the sources of these disturbances. Results are presented and discussed along with some specific recommendations.
