reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADB000247 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The low speed wind tunnel testing facilities at the Air Force Armament Laboratory are described. The capabilities of the wind tunnel facility to aid in test design, model fabrication and instrumentation, and data collection and reduction are discussed. The physical characteristics of the wind tunnel are summarized, along with flow parameters such as turbulance and angularity. The hardware available to the test conductor for data collection and manipulation, including a digital data acquisition system and various equipment and software, is described.
