Résumé

On rapporte sur la construction et la performance d'un modèle de 12,5 cm×12,5 cm d'une soufflerie à rafale. En particulier, on discute les résultats expérimentaux sur le contrôle de la température et pression d'arrêt, la stabilisation de la veine dans la chambre de tranquillisation et la performance d'un diffuseur réglable utilisé aux nombres deMach élevés et pour réaliser des vitesses transoniques dans la veine d'essai à parois perforées.

On donne une description d'un système rapide associé servant au dépouillement des résultats.
