In many industrial applications, fluid flow around bluff bodies is confined between two
parallel walls. This paper provides a thorough review of the studies on the confined flow …

Placing a test model in the wind tunnel test section creates an interaction between the flow
and the model and walls of the test section. This interaction affects the accuracy of data …

Parallel sidewalls are the standard bounding walls in wind tunnels when making a wind
tunnel model for free-flight condition. The consequence of confinement in wind tunnel tests …

An experimental study is conducted to analyze a streamwise-oriented vortex and investigate
the unsteady interaction with a finite-aspect-ratio wing. A pressurized vortex tube is used to …

Aerodynamic stability coefficients are necessary to be known before any unmanned aircraft
flight is performed. This requires expertise on aerodynamics and stability control of the …

Nowadays, environmentally friendly aviation is one of the most challenging topics in the
aerospace world. Research about different ways to improve aircraft efficiency explores every …

A wind-tunnel investigation was undertaken on a scaled down rigid model of both an ultra-
light wing and an ultra-light aircraft. The results of the ultra-light wing were compared to an …

The flow control strategy is crucial in aerodynamics, especially in studying laminar to
turbulent boundary layer separation. It also contributes to enhancing the side force …

The dynamic airfoil wind tunnel test is a very important technical method to obtain the
dynamic aerodynamic performance of the airfoil. In the dynamic airfoil wind tunnel test, the …

Wind tunnel measurements are widely used in physical modelling since they are quite
accurate but there are few factors that can drastically affect the measurement results. One of …
