In the current research, the results of a number of wind-tunnel experiments on a moving airfoil with plunging motion are presented. The experiments have been conducted in two different configurations which are tunnels with conventional and slotted test-section walls to provide resemblance to a far-field condition. The difference in results obtained from two test-section configurations can be considered as the wall effect and regulated as a function of non-dimensional parameters which can be further used for correcting experimental results obtained from conventional wind tunnels. When the derived correction factor is applied to a numerical simulation of a wind tunnel with a conventional test section (for points located in the front portion of the airfoil), the resulting pressure variations closely resembled that of a far-field numerical simulation. This methodology showed promising results for the specific configurations used in this research.

Local Stanton numbers were experimentally determined for the endwall surface of a turbine vane passage. A six vane linear cascade having vanes with an axial chord of 13.81 cm was used. Results were obtained for Reynolds numbers based on inlet velocity and axial chord between 73,000 and 495,000. The test section was connected to a low pressure exhaust system. Ambient air was drawn into the test section, inlet velocity was controlled up to a maximum of 59.4 m/sec. The effect of the inlet boundary layer thickness on the endwall heat transfer was determined for a range of test section flow rates. The liquid crystal measurement technique was used to measure heat transfer. Endwall heat transfer was determined by applying electrical power to a foil heater attached to the cascade endwall. The temperature at which the liquid crystal exhibited a specific color was known from a calibration test. Lines showing this specific color were isotherms, and because of uniform heat generation they were also lines of nearly constant heat transfer. Endwall static pressures were measured, along with surveys of total pressure and flow angles at the inlet and exit of the cascade.

Scaling of copper heat exchanger tubes has been studied under conditions that promote rapid and severe scaling. Artificially hardened water of high dissolved and suspended solids is recirculated through a heated test section operated at constant steam temperature. The effects of flow velocity, tube diameter, and bulk temperature on the asymptotic fouling resistance have been determined. Results are interpreted in terms of mathematical models of the scaling process.
