Abstract

A separation blockage correction method for aircraft is developed for subsonic wind tunnels with a closed test section. The proposed method can be applied continuously from the low-angle region to the highly nonlinear posstall region, It is shown that the results by the present correction method based on the nonlinear relationship between the separation blockage and separation drag are in good agreement with those of the measured-boundary-condition method. The proposed separation-blockage-correction method provides accurate wall correction for separated flows around realistic aircraft configurations for closed test-section subsonic wind tunnels.
