Improvements to Wall Corrections at the NASA Langley 14 x 22-Ft Subsonic TunnelThe new wall pressure measurement system and the TWICS wall correction system for the 14x22-Ft subsonic tunnel are described. Results from a recent semispan test and a full-span test are presented. Comparison with existing classical methods of correction is shown. A modification of the TWICS code to treat the effect due to a deflected wake from a high-lift wing is also discussed. The current implementation of TWICS for the 14x22-Ft tunnel is shown to be an improvement over existing methods.
