Evaluation of transonic wall interference assessment and correction for semi-span wing dataA newly developed transonic wall interference assessment and correction (WIAC) code is applied to transonic semispan wing data taken in the Lockheed-Georgia Compressible Flow Wind Tunnel (CFWT), in order to evaluate previous WIAC results and corrections. A current state-of-the-art Navier-Stokes free-air code is used as an independent check. Results are presented for Wing C at the transonic edge of its test data matrix in the CFWT. The results demonstrate the effects of wall porosity, Mach number, and angle-of-attack on the transonic wall interference correction.
