Book Description
Wind Tunnel Test Techniques: Design and Use at Low and High Speeds with Statistical Engineering Applications provides an up-to-date treatment of the topic. Beginning with a brief history of wind tunnels and its types and uses, the book goes on to cover subsonic, supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnel design and construction, calibration, boundary corrections, flow quality assessment, pressure surveys, and dynamic testing. It also focuses on wind tunnel facilities, making it useful for both the designer and operator. Engineers and graduate students in aerospace, automotive and similar programs will find this book useful in their work with experimental aerodynamics, gas dynamics, facility design and performance. Deals with a broad range of flow speeds in wind tunnels, from low speed to high speed Provides a discussion of similarity laws as well as material on statistical analysis Includes coverage on facility-to-facility and facility-to-CFD correlation Presents advanced topics such as cryogenic wind tunnels, ground simulation in automotive testing, and propulsion testing

Book Description
A basic design study of high-speed subsonic wind tunnel configurations was undertaken to determine the most feasible design for use in fire testing full-scale aircraft powerplants. Three proposed designs were considered; namely, the modification of the facility used at the Indianapolis Technical Development Center, a facility using a motor-driven fan, and a facility using turbojet engines for ejector pumping. Initial costs of construction were compared. The study indicated that a wind tunnel using turbojet engines for ejector pumping as the principal power source would satisfy effectively the requirements for such a fire test facility. Of the designs considered, the induction wind tunnel is recommended as the most economical subsonic fire-test facility from the standpoint of initial cost. (Author).
