Abstract

The pressure coefficient distributions induced in the process of a bounded gas flow past a schematized vehicle of the “Khotol” type are obtained for various transonic regimes in a wind tunnel with a perforated working section as a result of simultaneously solving the boundary-value problems for the near and far flow fields. These distributions are compared with the pressure coefficient distributions in the case of unbounded flow past the body. The additional pressure coefficient induced by the tunnel walls is calculated for subsonic flow past a vehicle in a cylindrical wind tunnel of large radius. The calculation results are consistent with the asymptotic Malmuth theory for subsonic velocities.
