摘要

Part I consists of Chapters 1,2,3 and 4, which provide an outline of the performance of the old as well as the new system. PART II corresponds to Chapter 5, and describes the design concept and technical investigations concerning various issues in the renewal design, including the design of the pressure valve, high pressure tubes, chambers, test sections and prinum chamber. PART III consists of Chapter six and four appendices, and explains the measurement systems of the present facility. As a result of the present studies, the renovation of the flutter testing facility was made possible by improvements in flow quality and renewal of hard ware bringing the new system up to a standard of performance as high as that of modern wind tunnels around the world.
