A procedure for predicting internal and external noise fields of blowdown wind tunnels
The noise generated during the operation of large blowdown wind tunnels is considered. Noise calculation procedures are given to predict the test-section overall and spectrum level noise caused by both the tunnel burner and turbulent boundary layer ...

Smooth leading edge transition in hypersonic flow. [PDF]
The boundary layer transition along the attachment line of a smooth swept circular cylinder in hypersonic flow is investigated in a blowdown wind tunnel. A wide range of spanwise Mach numbers Me (3.28 to 6.78) is covered with the help of different models
