Beskrivning

Wind Tunnel Test Techniques: Design and Use at Low and High Speeds with Statistical Engineering Applications provides an up-to-date treatment of the topic. Beginning with a brief history of wind tunnels and its types and uses, the book goes on to cover subsonic, supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnel design and construction, calibration, boundary corrections, flow quality assessment, pressure surveys, and dynamic testing. It also focuses on wind tunnel facilities, making it useful for both the designer and operator. Engineers and graduate students in aerospace, automotive and similar programs will find this book useful in their work with experimental aerodynamics, gas dynamics, facility design and performance.

Deals with a broad range of flow speeds in wind tunnels, from low speed to high speed
Provides a discussion of similarity laws as well as material on statistical analysis
Includes coverage on facility-to-facility and facility-to-CFD correlation
Presents advanced topics such as cryogenic wind tunnels, ground simulation in automotive testing, and propulsion testing
