Generalized, Three-Dimensional Wind Tunnel Wall Correction Using Nonlinear Least-Squares Optimization

What is it about?

Wind tunnel measurements are often contaminated by the presence of the wind tunnel walls. These wall effects are typically corrected for afterwards, using simple two-dimensional techniques. This article describes a new, high-fidelity three-dimensional technique that provides better corrections, especially when the model being tested is not symmetric.
