TLDR
In this paper, the authors defined the normal force and pitch moment coefficients of a wing span and its chord, and the slope of a section normal force vs angle-of-a attack curve.
Abstract
Nomenclature b = wing span c = wing chord c , = section drag coefficient d c = section lift coefficient c = section normal force coefficient n c = slope of section normal force vs angle-ofa attack curve c = section pitching moment coefficient C = aircraft drag coefficient C = aircraft lift coefficient LI C = pressure coefficient Cju = blowing coefficient M = Mach number P = total pressure q , q = freestream dynamic pressure

Advances in the computation of transonic separated flows over finite wings

TL;DR: In this article, the transonic flow around a low-aspect-ratio infinite wing in a wind tunnel is investigated by means of numerical simulations, with a focus on shock-induced separated flows.

Investigation of sidewall boundary layer removal effects on two different chord airfoil models in the Langley 0.3-meter Transonic Cryogenic Tunnel

TL;DR: In this article, an investigation was carried out on two CAST 10-2 airfoil models with chords of 3 in. and 6 in. The tests were conducted in the Langley 0.3m Transonic Cryogenic Tunnel two-dimensional test section equipped with an upstream sidewall boundary layer removal system.

Improvement of subsonic wall corrections in an industrial wind tunnel

TL;DR: This revision of the model representation is based on high fidelity free-air CFD solutions for the NASA Common Research Model, validated by experimental data sets obtained from a semispan version of the CRM tested at the NRC 5ft Trisonic Wind Tunnel.

A Simplified Fourwall Interference Assessment Procedure for Airfoil Data Obtained in the Langley 0.3-Meter Transonic Cryogenic Tunnel

TL;DR: In this paper, a simplified fourwall interference assessment method has been described, and a computer program developed to facilitate correction of the airfoil data obtained in the Langley 0.3m Transonic Cryogenic Tunnel (TCT).

Transonic flow about lifting configurations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a transonic flow solution for configurations with span-to-length ratios of order one is presented, where the angles of attack are sufficiently large to produce lift effects that are either dominant or comparable to the thickness effects.

On the flow over a cone-cylinder body at mach number one

TL;DR: In this paper, the transonic similarity law proposed by von Karman and Oswatitsch and Berndt based upon slender body theory can be extended to cover cone-cylinder bodies of practical slenderness ratios.

The U.S. 2.5-Meter Cryogenic High Reynolds Number Tunnel

TL;DR: The U.S. 2.5-Meter Cryogenic High Reynolds Number Tunnel (CHRN) as discussed by the authors is a fan-driven transonic wind tunnel scheduled for operation in 1981.

Application of the Thin-Wing-Expansion Method to the Flow of a Compressible Fluid past a Symmetrical Circular Arc Aerofoil

TL;DR: In this paper, the thin-wing expansion method is applied to the flow of a compressible fluid past a symmetrical circular aerofoil and analytical expressions for the velocity potential and the velocity distribution over its surface are obtained.
