L'Appreciation de la Qualite pour les Essais en Soufflerie (Quality Assessmentfor Wind Tunnel Testing)

摘要

The wind tunnel continues to be the main instrument for providing experimentalaerodynamic data to the aerospace industry and the aerodynamic researcher for the purpose of load and performance evaluation of theoretical results. In both cases, it is imperative that the user has confidence in the quality of the results, which means that he must have information of what accuracy to attach to the data. This report describes a practical approach for assessing the uncertainty of experimental measurements. Although it concentrates on aerodynamic references data, the approach presented can be used to report data and associated uncertainties for any other condition. The methodology described is designed to facilitate communications and to encourage professional and practical analyses of complex problems. The most recent accepted technical concepts have been included in the methodology. This report presents the results of a study by Working Group 15 of the AGARD Fluid Dynamics Panel.
