NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) 19930090837: On improvement of air flow in wind tunnels

Author: NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS)

Year: 1928

The most important aerodynamical qualities that should be aimed at in wind tunnel design, are as follows: 1) constant and parallel direction of flow; 2) uniform velocity across all sections; 3) absence of turbulent motion; 4) constant velocity of flow. The above-mentioned qualities are all realized in a high degree in the Gottingen type of wind tunnel, with a parallel portion before the working section, the cross section of which is steadily reduced. It is shown in what follows, that the system can be applied to other wind tunnels, such as the N.P.L. or Eiffel type.
