Two dimentional transonic blockage interference studies in the NAL 1-Ft. blowdown wind tunnel
Two 12% thick circular-arc aerof oils of 3 in. and 6 in. chord length were tested at zero angle of attack to determine the slot open-area ratio for minimum two-dimensional blockage interference at transonic speeds in the HAL 1-ft.

Flow characterization of the Mach 5 hypersonic nozzle of VKI-H3 wind tunnel
The operational map of the H3 Mach 6 blowdown wind tunnel, at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (VKI), is extended towards lower Mach numbers with a new axisymmetric contoured nozzle to achieve Mach 5 testing conditions.

Concept of variable mach number flexible nozzle and controls for NAL 0.6m blowdown wind tunnel
In a supersonic wind tunnel, the contour of the nozzle, the second throat setting and the stagnation pressure controlled by the Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) are fundamental parameters without which the required Mach number in the test section cannot ...
