About Wind Tunnel Testing
4
Key issues • Maintaining Reynolds number \, Mach number similarity • Accounting for possible flow non-uniformities in the wind tunnel • Wind Tunnel Blockage • Effects of the model support system. • Leaks and Losses • Open or Closed Circuit Tunnel
Turbulent or Laminar Flow? • In most cases the full scale flight conditions will produce turbulent flow. • In wind tunnels, low Reynolds number will result in a significant amount of
laminar flow. • To achieve a boundary layer similar flight Reynolds number, the boundary layer
is often "tripped" to force transition to turbulent flow.

Comparison of Reynolds Number and Mach Number
Reynold’s number is a measure of the ra:o of the Iner:al Forces ac:ng on the fluid -‐-‐ to -‐-‐ the Viscous Forces Ac:ng on the fluid -‐-‐ Fundamental Parameter of Viscous Flow -‐-‐
Mach number is a measure of the ra:o of the fluid Kine:c energy to the fluid internal energy (direct mo:on To random thermal mo:on of gas molecules) -‐-‐ Fundamental Parameter of Compressible Flow -‐-‐
