Abstract:

This report summarizes the progress achieved in the von Karman Gas Dynamics Facility VKF of the Arnold Engineering Development Center AEDC, Air Force Systems Command AFSC in the 1 development of operational techniques and hardware for recording holographic interferograms in the VKF wind tunnels, 2 development of automated image analysis techniques for reducing quantitative flow-field data from holographic interferograms, and 3 investigation and development of software for the application of digital image analysis to other photographic techniques used in wind tunnel testing.
