Slotted-wall research with disk and parachute models in a low-speed wind tunnel
- Sandia National Labs., Albuquerque, NM (USA)
- DSMA International, Inc., Mississauga, ON (Canada)
An experimental investigation of slotted-wall blockage interference has been conducted using disk and parachute models in a low speed wind tunnel. Test section open area ratio, model geometric blockage ratio, and model location along the length of the test section were systematically varied. Resulting drag coefficients were compared to each other and to interference-free measurements obtained in a much larger wind tunnel where the geometric blockage ratio was less than 0.0025. 9 refs., 10 figs.
