NASA Dryden Flow Visualization Facility

摘要

This report describes the Flow Visualization Facility at NASA Dryden FlightResearch Center, Edwards, California. This water tunnel facility is used primarily for visualizing and analyzing vortical flows on aircraft models and other shapes at high-incidence angles. The tunnel is used extensively as a low-cost, diagnostic tool to help engineers understand complex flows over aircraft and other full-scale vehicles. The facility consists primarily of a closed-
