A quiet flow Ludwieg tube for study of transition in compressible boundary layers: Design and feasibility [PDF]
Laminar-turbulent transition in high speed boundary layers is a complicated problem which is still poorly understood, partly because of experimental ambiguities caused by operating in noisy wind tunnels.

The cryogenic wind tunnel concept for high Reynolds number testing [PDF]
Theoretical considerations indicate that cooling the wind-tunnel test gas to cryogenic temperatures will provide a large increase in Reynolds number with no increase in dynamic pressure while reducing the tunnel drive-power requirements.

Wind tunnel requirements for computational fluid dynamics code verification [PDF]
The role of experiment in the development of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for aerodynamic flow field prediction is discussed. Requirements for code verification from two sources that pace the development of CFD are described for: (1) development of

Comparison of NAE porous wall and NASA adaptive wall test results using the NAE CAST-10 airfoil model [PDF]
Wind tunnels can now simulate flows over airfoils at high Reynolds numbers and high subsonic speeds. Methods to correct for (or reduce) test section wall interference at these test conditions must be validated. The National Aeronautics Establishment (NAE)
