Strut Interference on an Aerofoil: A Theoretical Analysis of a Common Wind‐Tunnel Problem

Abstract

IT is fairly standard practice to correct wind‐tunnel results for a model or aerofoil by taking measurements of lift, etc., with and without dummy supports fitted, the correction for support interference being deduced accordingly. Such experimental correction figures are liable to be rather scattered owing to various causes, and it is useful to have at least some independent check by direct calculation on the amount of interference to be expected.
