Tests on a CAST 7 two-dimensional airfoil in a streamlining test section

A unique opportunity has arisen to test one and the same airfoil model of CAST-7 section in two wind tunnels having adaptive walled test sections. The tunnels are very similar in terms of size and the available range of test conditions, but differ principally in their wall setting algorithms. Detailed data from the tests of the model in the Southampton tunnel, are included with comparisons between various sources of data indicating that both adaptive walled test sections provide low interference test conditions.
