THE EXPLORATION OF REDUCING 3-D WAVE REFLECTION IN HIGH SPEED 2-D FLEXIBLE WALL ADAPTIVE WIND TUNNEL

This paper describes the development of reducing shock wave reflectionduring 3-D model testing in 2-D transonic flexible wall adaptive wind tunnel of late years in Northwestern Polytechnical University. It includes the present status of research, testing method, results and analyses. According to the preliminary research, it is considered that transonic 2-D flexible wall adaptive wind tunnel has all its own potential (latent capacity) and the future prospect of application.
