The ASU Transition Research FacilityThe ASU Transition Research Facility is commonly called the ASU Unsteady Wind Tunnel because of its unsteady-flow capability. This facility has been in operation since 1988. It is a closed return tunnel within which oscillatory flows of air can be generated for the study of unsteady problems in low-speed aerodynamics. Because it also has excellent low-turbulence characteristics, it has been used principally as a boundary-layer transition research facility. The wind tunnel is described along with its unsteady calibration data. Examples of freestream turbulence and boundary-layer transition measurements are given.
