16. Abstract
This report brings together and refines the previously scattered and over-simplified techniques for the aerodynamic design and loss prediction of the components of subsonic wind tunnels. General guidelines are given for the design of diffusers, contractiohs, corners, and the inlets and exits of non-return tunnels. A system of equations, reflecting the current tech- nology, has been compiled and assembled into a computer program (a user's manual for this program is included) for determining the total pressure losses. The formulation presented is applicable to compressible flow through most closed- or open-throat, single-, double-, or non-return wind tunnels. A comparison of estimated performance with that actually achieved by several existing facilities produced generally good agreement.

INTRODUCTION
In the past, most of the work on the design of ducts and wind tunnels and on the determination of their pressure (and power) losses has been either highly specialized, considering only one type of component, or over-simplified, covering several types of components but giving only a superficial idea of what parameters are important. However, for the recent NASA studies directed toward new and modified wind tunnel facilities, it has been necessary to do a careful job of estimating, easily and quickly, the performance of all circuit components. This report brings together, revises, and updates the techniques for the aerodynamic design and performance prediction of subsonic wind tunnels.
The basic procedures and guidelines for the aerodynamic design of critical wind tunnel components, as presented in references 1 through 3, have been revised and updated, as required. curves developed and suggested herein show the relative design points for several existing facilities. recent NASA studies on end treatments for non-return wind tunnels.

The method of loss analysis presented is a synthesis of theoretical and empirical techniques. Generally, the algorithms used were those substantiated by experimental results. The methods of references 4 through 11 for predic- ting componen; losses have been refined and incorporated. The performance
calculations, based on user-selected flow conditions at the test section, assume that the circuit geometry has been predetermined.
The comparison of the actual and predicted performance for several existing wind tunnel facilities shows generally good agreement.
CAUTIONARY DESIGN GUIDELINES
This report presents the means for rapidly estimating the performance of a wind tunnel circuit after its geometry has been determined. However, an improper design of any of its several components (diffusers, contractions, or corners, for example) could result in performance penalties caused by inter- action with the flow in other components; such penalties cannot be predicted. In addition, improper design could cause poor test-section flow quality which would not be indicated by the performance analysis. Therefore, the purposes of this section are to point out critical areas of concern in wind tunnel design and to attempt to establish proper design criteria.
Diffusers
Diffusers, especially those just downstream of high-speed sections, are very sensitive to design errors which may cause flow separation. The equiva- lent cone angle and area ratio must be properly selected to avoid steady-state or intermittent separation of the flow from the diffuser walls. (This separa- tion can cause vibration, oscillatory fan loading, oscillations in test sec- tion velocity, and higher losses in downstream components.) Generally, proper diffuser design requires that, for a given area ratio, the equivalent cone angle be constrained below a certain value. nary conical section with length and with inlet and exit areas identical to the actual section.) for diffusers with sharp corners than for those with a rounded cross section.
("Equivalent" denotes an imagi-
This cone angle should probably be held 0.5" to 1' lower
Since the portion of the wind tunnel between the test section and the fans is usually the higher-loss segment, it is the most critical in affecting circuit performance. Therefore, it was used as a basis for establishing recommended design limits as a guide to diffuser selection. It was assumed that the fans serve to reenergize the boundary layer of downstream sections and that the fans and the upstream and downstream components have no inter- action that affects their losses; this may or may not be true (see ref. 12). The overall area ratio and cone angle between the test section and fan contrac- tion were examined for several wind tunnels. This analysis used the centerline lengths o f all intervening components, including corners. (The actual effect of corners is unknown: they may alter the onset of separation somewhat.) Figure l(a) compares curves for the first appreciable stall for flows with thin inlet boundary layers, from references 1 and 2, with the design points of selected existing wind tunnels. These. curves were used to aid in defining the separation trend; good correlation with the symbols is not necessarily expected. Figure l(a) shows that most of these wind tunnels were designed beyond (above) the two-dimensional stall curve but below the conical stall
2
curve. (Snme of these diffusers are f a r from conical.) The recommeiided design region, shown in figure l(b), was positioned with the prior knowledge that the NASA-Ames 7- by 10-Foot Wind Tunnel has a partially separated dif- fuser just downstream of the test section, and that the NASA-Ames 4G- by 8O-Foot Wind Tunnel has some local separation in the corners of the primary diffuser. The upper portion of the design region is recommended for diffusers with rounded corners, and the lower portion for diffusers with sharp corners.
Contract ions
Contracting sections are subject to separation in the same manner as diffusers; however, the penalties are usually much less severe in the con- tracting sections. Separation of the flow can occur if the contraction is too short for the amount of area reduction. Figure 2(a) presents the general wall shapes suggested in reference 3 and figure 2(b) shows the design boundary for these shapes in comparison with the designs of several selected wind tunnel facilities.
From this comparison it is evident that, while some facilities were designed more conservatively than others, no design severely exceeds the design boundary. Since none of the facilities considered has shown signifi- cant contraction-caused flow problems, the design boundary may be considered empirically reasonable. Further, reference 1 3 generally tends to support the positioning of the suggested design curve. However, the criteria of refer- ence 13 are more conservative due to consideration of viscous effects which were neglected in the study of reference 3 .
Corners
The corner losses in a wind tunnel can be large. To minimize them, turn- ing vanes should be used for more efficient turning. Also, as with any other high-loss item corners should, where possible, be located in a large-area sec- tion where the flow speed is low. Corner vane losses can be minimized in two additional ways: (1) by selecting an efficient vane cross-sectional shape and adjusting it for proper alignment with the flow, and (2) by choosing the best chord-to-gap spacing.
With reference to item (l), turning vane shapes can vary from bent plates to highly-cambered airfoils. Some sources favor airfoil vanes as being more efficient (ref. 4 , p. 63) while others claim that thin vanes can have lower losses (ref. 5, p. 9 3 ) . But airfoil vanes with blunted leading edges may be more forgiving of misalignment with the flow. The thicker vanes may, therefore, hold some advantage.
When considering item (2), the best chord-to-gap ratio depends on the vane type. For thick vanes, a ratio of about 2.5-to-1 is recommended (ref. 4 , p . 62) and for thin vanes a ratio of about 4-to-1 is suggested (ref. 5, p. 92).

Non-Return Wind Tunnels
Non-return wind tunnels have presented some interesting problems in tunnel design. This type of wind tunnel has the advantages of less structure (and therefore lower construction costs) and of no exhaust-gas-purging or air- exchange requirement. Careful design can make the non-return circuit oper- ating power competitive with that of closed-return wind tunnels (the corner losses can be traded for inlet and exit losses). However, an area of concern for the non-return tunnel is its potential sensitivity to external winds which could affect both the required power and the test section flow quality.
A recent series of NASA studies, which dealt with wind s.nsitivity prob- lems, showed that a non-return wind tunnel should have three 2atures: (1) a vertical exit system, (2) a horizontal inlet, and (3 ) an enclused area of pro- tection, with a solid roof, at the inlet. References 14 and 15 detail the development work for the end treatment considered in those studies.
Reference 16 describes an inlet geometry that was developed to reduce the effects of w.ind. (This reference also presents a set of test-section flow- quality requirements by which the characteristics of any inlet treatment may be evaluated.) Although the end treatment designs shown in references 14 through 16 could be revised-or refined for additional wind protection, any additional inlet treatment would increase the structural cost and could increase the power requirement.
PERFORMANCE ESTIMATION I Although the performance analysis presented in this report was systema-
tized and automated for rapid calculation of numerous cases or iterations (by the computer program described in the following sections), the equations pre- sented are equally amenable to manual calculation methods.

The total pressure losses (proportional to power losses) of each compo- nent are calculated and summed to give the total circuit loss and operating power required.

Problsin Restrictions
Three restrictions were found to be necessary in order to allow rapid solution of most cases with a minimum amount of effort. First, the cross- sectional geometries were limited to the most common shapes: circular, rec- tangular, and flat-oval (semi-circular side walls with flat floor and ceiling). Second, air exchangers were omitted from this analysis due to lack of uniform- ity of configuration and a lack of definition as to the proper method of com- puting the losses. Finally, the drive system was assumed to be located in one or more parallel, annular ducts.

’ i Computation Formulas - The equations used in this performance analysis were synthesized from
various sources. Some were used in their original (source) form and others were modified to make them more convenient for use in this analysis. The equa- tions used are presented below.
Flow-state parameters- The basic flow-state parameters were determined from input information about the reference control station and the test sec- tion. These parameters were derived from standard relationships for compressible flow.

3. Friction coefficient: A Newton's-method solution was used to deter- mine the friction coefficient for smooth walls from the expression
[logl,(XRN2) - 0.8]-2 - A = 0 (appendix A)
Section pressure Zosses- The l o s s in total pressure caused by each sec- tion was calculated in a form non-dimensionalized by local dynamic pressure: K = ApT/q. (In this study the smallest-area end of each section was used as the local reference position.) The individual losses were based on the nature of the section, local flow conditions, and input geometry and parameter infor- mation. The most appropriate l o s s forms for typical wind tunnel sections are catalogued on the following pages. The nonstandard formulas, those which are not directly attributable to the literature, are developed in appendix A. The precise equations, which were developed from various curve-fitting and inter- polation techniques based on the plots presented in certain figures, are given in appendix B.
1. Constant-area ducts: For closed, constant-area sections the pressure loss due t o friction is given by

2 . Open-throat duct: The losses from an open-throat test section may be found from the expression
K = 0.0845 - - 0.0053 (<r Dh
(ref. 7, p. 150)
3. Contractions: In contracting sections, where the major part of the losses is due to friction, the local loss may be approximated as
AL K = 0.32 - Dh

4 . Corners with no net area change ("constant area"): A duct can change direction with or without the aid of flow guide vanes. For a constant-area turn employing turning vanes for efficiency, with a 'hormal" number of vanes (ref. 7, p. 241), and with chord-to-gap ratios between 2-to-1 and 4-to-1, the losses resulting from friction and rotation caused by the vanes are

The turning vane loss parameter K T ~ is plotted as a function of turn- ing angle in figure 3(a), with the assumption that value for a 90' corner. Corners without turning vanes are less efficient and the loss function may be approximated by a sixth-order polynomial as shown in figure 3(b) :

This function assumes a l o s s value of about K = 1.8 for a 90' turn. The foregoing losses are those associated with the turning of the flow only. The losses for a corner system (with or without vanes), with the walls of the duct to be considered as well, requires an additional term for the frictional loss of the constant-area duct based on the centerline length.
5. Corners (diffusing): Corners with diffusion may well employ longer vanes in order to improve the efficiency of the diffusion process. For this reason they were treated as vaned diffusers with the addition of the rota- tional loss term of the turning vane function:

COMPUTER PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The computer program was written in FORTRAN IV language. It consists of a main program which calls five subroutines and/or six library routines, as required. Two of the subroutines are optional and may be abbreviated and simulated in order to save execution time and/or memory storage space.
Method of Solution
The general technique used is outlined in the computer program functional flow chart in figure 7. The program was developed in six functional units: a main program and five specialized subroutines. The main program retains general control over the computational flow and calls the subprograms as required.
In the main portion (designated PERFQRM), at first entry into the program, various section-shape geometry relationships and certain semi-empirical dif- fuser, turning vane, and honeycomb l o s s functions are defined. The case title card is read and checked for validity by specified code. The tunnel master data control card is then read, checked for validity, and checked for content of pertinent data by the data-checking subroutine. either of these two preliminary cards, error messages will be printed. Although detected errors will not abort the computer run (unless a card of improper format is encountered where not expected), the case under current consideration will not be computed - only the checking of input errors will then be performed on each section card. the units of measure (International System or U.S. Customary System) to be used for the particulai- case are read. These units of measure are used as the basis for the development of the appropriate flow parameters and test section conditions.
If any errors are found in
Prior to reading the section cards,
The section cards are read and operated on one at a time. They are checked for validity and input errors by the data-checking subroutine (called DATACK) and the input information, if sufficiently complete, is then used in the computation of the section upstream- and downstream-end geometries. Adjustments to these geometry calculations are made for any multiple-ducted sections. input by the user, that parameter is generated from predefined functions. Branching of the computational flow then transfers control to the appropriate block of instructions for the remainder of the calculations which are peculiar to the particular section under consideration.
For diffusing sections where the ex7ansion loss parameter was not
After all section cards have been read in and operated on, each in turn, a case termination card is encountered. The termination card specifies the optional summary operations to be performed. The encounter of this card
11
signals the end of a case and triggers the final calculations. The codes contained on this card determine the printing of velocity-optimizing and cir- cuit summary information, the plottitg of the summary information, and the return to the beginning for another case.
The data-checking subroutine evaluates the master and section input cards for completeness of data (based on the requirements for the type of section). Then, if any error was detected during computation of a case or if the appropriate termination code was specified by the user, the complete set of input data is tabulated. Messages about errors, omissions, or superfluous information are included.
The subroutine SPEED computes the local Mach number based on local cross- sectional area and determines the local flow velocity.
The subroutine FRICTN calculates the local Reynolds number, usually based on the local duct hydraulic diameter, and the local friction coefficient for smooth pipes.
The subroutine dUTPUT accepts the calculated section parameters along with the section type codes describing the types of information to be output and prints the section information according to the appropriate format.
The subroutine PLdTIT plots the summary information (cummulative total
The plot is scaled for centimeter or inch plot paper, pressure losses and/or wall pressure differential) versus circuit centerline length if requested. determined by whether International or U.S. Customary units are used for computation.
The program is terminated after the last operations on a case for which a no-return instruction on the termination card was given by the user.
Computing Equipment Required

In this version, input is made by cards and the data to be plotted are stored on a disc file for plotting at a later time in an off-line mode. How- ever, it is possible to use a typewriter-type terminal for conversational or real-time computation, typing the data by card-image format, and plotting immediately after the computation has been completed for a case.
The total core required for compilation on the IBM 360/67 was approxi- mately 82 000 (decimal) bytes. If necessary this figure can be reduced by eliminating two subroutines, DATACK and PLQTIT. and of each subroutine were approximately as follows:

The Zeta plotter routines, with minor exceptions, are compatible with the Calcomp routines. The subroutines AXIS, FACTgR, LINE, PLflT, SCALE and SYMBQL are alike in both Calcomp and Zeta plotting.
CALL AXIS - draws the axis line and annotates the divisions at every two centimeters or each inch (depending on the units of measure specified).
CALL FACTflR - enables the user to produce normal size drawings with plotters which have either 0.01- or 0.005-in. increment size. The variable FACT must be set to 1.0 for 0.01-in. increments and to 2.0 for 0.005-in. increment plotters.
CALL LINE - plots centered squares connected by straight lines through the coordinate pairs of data values.
CALL PLflT - is used to establish a new point of origin for the pen and paper movements. Before plotting commences, the pen must be positioned where desired along the X-axis. Y-axis. which are equated to 25 and 38 cm or 10 and 15 in., as required.

CALL PLgTF - is an alternate plotting initialization routine which is avail- able in the Zeta but not Calcomp plot package. It is used in place of PLOTS whenever deferred plotting is desired. The first argument in the call statement indicates the speed of the terminal with which the plotter is interfaced. The second argument is the logical-device number of the plot file.
CALL SCALE - examines the data and determines the proper scaling for the given dimensions of the plotter paper, 25 by 38 cm or 10 by 15 in.
CALL SMflDE - is available only in the Zeta plot package. It permits the user
In this program the options have been set equal to the usage to choose from extensive capabilities which affect several of the plotter routines. found in the Calcomp routines, and therefore, if Zeta plotter routines are not available, the call to SM@DE should be eliminated.

CALL SYMB@L - prints the input case title at the top left of each plot page as it appears in columns 2 through 80 of the title card. For reference pur- poses, it also draws a small plus sign at the origin of the plot.
The library routines used are standard F@RTEUN routines:
ABS - Absolute value
AL@G10 - Common logarithm, base ten
ATAN - Arctangent (result in radians)
EXP - Exponential of the natural number e
IFIX - Convert from real number to integer
SIN - Trigonometric sine (argument in radians)
SQRT - Square root
Programming Techniques
It was intended that this program be usable on as many different computer systems as possible. Therefore, in order to make them applicable to some machines, certain statements were forced into particular forms which would be less efficient on other systems (e.g., Hollerith instead of literals in format statements).
C@MM@N and DATA statements were used as much as possible to simplify the definition of parameter values. In the main program, arithmetic statement functions were used for three purposes: (1) for the definition of section hydraulic diameter, area, and equivalent cone angle geometry functions; ( 2 ) for the conversion function from local to reference-section pressure losses; and ( 3 ) for the definition of the least-squares-polynomial-curve-fit functions. The last group of functions includes: (1) the corner turning-loss parameters as functions of turning angle (see fig. 3 ) ; ( 2 ) the diffuser expansion loss parameters for the different cross-section shapes as functions of equivalent cone angle (see fig. 4 ) ; and (3 ) the mesh screen Reynolds number sensitivity factor as a function of mesh-diameter-based Reynolds number (see fig. 5 ) .
Certain functions not easily solvable in closed form were solved itera- tively (some by Newton's method) to 0.01 percent accuracy. These functions include test section Mach number, local section Mach number, and local section friction coefficient.
Numeric codes were used for specifying such things as section type, sec- tion end-shape types, and system of computational units; for decisions on requirements for inputs to each section type; and for case-termination pro- cedures and outputs desired. The various important input codes are listed in tables 1 and 4 . All sections of the multiple-ducted type were assigned high code numbers for simplicity in selecting them for special handling. The
14
various s e c t i o n types were grouped in code decades for reasonable association of section code and component function. Where possible, the second digit of the code (if that second digit is not zero) reflects the basic characteristic of the section: constant area, contracting, or diffusing.
The information input fields on the master data and section cards were arranged in three basic groups: (1) qualitatrve information (type and shape); (2) quantitative geometry information (number of ducts, cross-sectional end dimensions, and length); and (3) loss-related parameters. The case termination card employs the same format as the section cards so that it may be encoun- tered at random intervals without causing a program crash. For the tabulation of the input data (for error-location and record-keeping purposes), object- time formatting was used to compile the combination input and annotation data set for a convenient output.
Much of the output of the program was set up on a demand (i.e., optional) basis. A section-by-section performance analysis is automatically provided. A brief summary of the variation of selected parameters through the circuit, and plots of those parameters, may be selected if desired. An annotated list- ing of the inputs may be requested or, if errors are detected, the listing is internally forced in order to provide a simple means of error-detection and correction and/or simplified record-keeping of case data.
Source Code
A source code listing of the performance estimation program is provided in appendix C along with the associated notation definitions. The source code includes the use of comment cards throughout the program for identification of the operations carried out by each set of instructions.
Operating Instructions
The basic source program deck arrangement is shown in figure 8 .
Input- Sample coding forms for the four types of input cards required are presented in figure 9. The special symbols required in the first columns of the title and master data cards are included.
1. Title card: For the title labeling card, with the exception of the first column which must contain an asterisk (* I , the entire card may be used as desired. This title was programmed to appear at the top of each page of the case to which the title refers, including the plots. Only one title card per case may be used.
2. Master card: The tunnel master control data card provides sufficient information for defining conditions in the test section (which is the refer- ence section for all calculations) and conditions of the surrounding external atmosphere. Table 2 details the inputs included on the master data card. The first column must contain a minus sign in order to identify the card as a valid master card. The remainder of the inputs should be positive, with
15
columns 2 through 6 containing five fields of integers only (no decimal points). Columns 7 through 10 were not used on this card and should be left blank. Columns 11 through 50 should contain floating-point numbers. were divided into eight parameters of five columns each, including decimal point.
These columns
3 . Section cards: The individual section information cards were based on the same format as the master card, except that the section cards require no special identifying code. Table 3 details the inputs contained on the sec- tion cards. The first six columns, containing four data fields, require inte- ger inputs. The remaining 74 columns were divided into two real number fields of two columns each (with the assumed default decimal points to the right of the second columns), and 14 real number fields of five columns each (with the assumed default decimal point between the third and fourth columns of each field) .
Although the input parameter requirements vary from section to section, certain requirements are basic to all sections. (1) the section type code, (2) the section end shape codes, and ( 3 ) the section dimen- sions (end height(s) and width(s) and/or diameter(s) and usually length). detailed list of the additional, specialized requirements for each section is presented in table 4 .
These items include:
A
Although not mandatory in order to obtain a correct total power estima- tion, it is advisable to input the section data cards in the actual section order so that the summary calculations and plots have relevance to the,actual circuit.
4 . Termination card: The case termination card, which signals the end of the section inputs for a particular case, is identified by the constraint of blanks in card columns 3 and 4 . The numbers contained on this card are used strictly as task codes; table 5 shows the details of these codes. In the event of a request for plotted information, the code determines the type(s) of information to be presented. yes/no decision.
For all other tasks the codes dictate a simple
As many cases as desired may be input in a single job submission. same system of units need not be used in all cases. Any parameters may be changed as desired from case-to-case since there are no forced carry-overs (except the specific heat ratio, y, which is fixed at the time of program compilation).
The
Output- Based on the foregoing input information the results may be calculated and tabulated in five different types of information groups.
1. Section performance analysis: The section performance tabulation fully describes the performance-related parameters of the wind tunnel circuit. Atmospheric and test section flow reference conditions are stated at the top of the first page. The various parameters are tabulated for each section in the order of computation with the upstream end information on the first and the downstream information on the second of the two lines for each section. The section sequence number and type (a translation of the code) and the end
16
shapes are given first. presented next, followed by the section length and calculated total pressure loss values.
The geometry and local velocity information are
2 . Overall performance: If no input errors are encountered during the analysis of a case, overall performance values are presented at the end of the section performance tabulation. This includes the total circuit length, the total pressure losses and energy ratio for the circuit, and the total operating power required.
3 . Summary characteristics: If requested on the termination card and barring any errors, a summary of the circuit characteristics is tabulated on a separate page. This tabulation includes section sequence numbers, Mach num- bers, cumulative pressure losses, and local wall pressures, all as functions of distance through the circuit.
4 . Plots: Under proper condition codes, the cumulative pressure losses and/or the wall pressure differentials will be plotted as functions of dis- tance through the circuit (centerline length). The straight lines that appear on the plots connecting the points are for reference only and do not represent the actual distribution in a component.
5 . Input data tabulation: Finally, if an input error was encountered during the analysis of the circuit, or if such information was requested by the user, the input cards are tabulated with annotations regarding missing or superfluous inputs. A careful look at this section should allow the user to discover why a given set of input data did not produce the expected type of results.
All of the foregoing types of output are shown for the test case.
Computer system restrictions- Certain restrictions and/or assumptions had to be imposed on the computer system and its methods and abilities in order to perform the performance analysis within reasonable time, effort, and money constraints.
1. Hardware: This analysis was programmed for a moderate-sized system with common components. No special hardware is required with the exception of a plotter if the plotting option is used. The output printing device is assumed to have available a minimum capacity of 120 characters per line, but the number of lines per page may be set by means of the LINEMX parameter in the main program. (Barring any special requirements, 45 lines for an 8.5-in. page or 60 lines for an 11-in. page are recommended.)
2. Software: Certain software restrictions were imposed simply as a starting point to the problem solution. The input card formats were fixed as shown in figure 9. The specific heat ratio (y) and the number of lines per output page were fixed for each compilation of the source deck, although changes can be made by altering the values of G and/or LINEMX, respectively, near the beginning of the main program.
17
For reasons of possible memory limitations on smaller systems, the number of wind tunnel components in each circuit case was limited to 30 sections. This limit may be changed by assigning a new value to LMTSEC in the main pro- gram and by re-dimensioning the following variables as denoted by "XX"' . the main program (PERF@RM), DELP(XX+2), SEKO(XX) , SEL(XX), SMACH(XX) , SSUMEL(XX+2) and SSUMKO(XX+2); in the data-checking subroutine (DATACK), ENDATA(XX,20), NCHECK(XX,20) and NDATA(XX,4); and in the plotting subroutine (PLOTIT), DELP(XX+2), SSUMEL(XX+2) and SSUMKO(XX+2). If memory limitations are a severe problem and/or if computer-controlled plotting facilities are not available to the user, the data-checking and/or plotting subroutines may be 11 removed" by inserting dummy, one-card subroutines with the same arguments which would have no effect on the calculations. This would decrease the util- ity and power of the program, but would retain the basic performance estima- tion capabilities without crippling them altogether.

I 18
The plotting routines were written according to the requirements for a plotter with 0.005-in. increments.
Optional inputs- Certain of the parameter inputs are designated as optional and have built-in assumed default values in the event that the user knows no better values than the ones provided in the sources referenced herein. These optional parameters are shown in tables 2 through 4 .
On the master card (see table 2), the units of measure should be speci- fied and an error message will be given if they are specified erroneously (other than as type 1 or 2). However, the units code will default to 1 (the International System) and case execution will continue. The test section and atmospheric total pressures will default to one atmosphere if not specified.
On the section cards (see table 3), the number of items in the duct will default to unity if not specified. The expansion loss parameter for diffusers defaults to a value based on figure 4. (It is computed by determining the shape of each end, the extent to which the diffuser is two-dimensional in nature (i.e., changing cross-sectional size in height or width only), and the equivalent cone angle, and then interpolating between the curves of figure 4. See appendix A . ) an average-condition metal mesh screen (ref. 6, p. 527), and the reference Reynolds number for turning vanes defaults to 0.5 million (ref. 6, p. 527). The surface roughness for honeycombs defaults to the appropriate equivalent of 0.00001 my the value for new, commercially smooth, non-steel pipe (ref. 7, p. 62). The factor for the additional influence of a blockage on downstream sections ( A E ) defaults to zero.
The mesh screen loss constant defaults to 1.3, the value for
Diagnostic messages- There are a limited number of error diagnostic messages which were built in to handle many, but not all, of the potential user errors. The causes and appropriate corrections of these errors should be evident in each message.
1. Title card: If a card is in the position of a title card and does not begin with an asterisk as required, the following message will appear:
rnTrnT LLLLO m ('...(invalid title)...') IS IXCGRRECT GR IWROPER AS IT EXISTS. THE FIRST CARD COLUMN MUST CONTAIN AN ASTERISK (*) TO BE IDENTIFIED AS A VALID TITLE CARD.
2. Master card: An invalid master card is denoted by:
MASTER CONTROL DATA ('...(card image)...') IS INCORRECT OR IMPROPER AS IT EXISTS. THE FIRST TWO CARD COLUMNS MUST CONTAIN A NEGATIVE NUMBER (-1 TO -9) TO BE IDENTIFIED AS A VALID MASTER CARD. THIS CASE WILL BE SKIPPED.
A general omission from the master card of required information produces:
CRITICAL OMISSION(S) IN TUNNEL MASTER CONTROL DATA PREVENT EXECUTION OF THIS CASE. ANY SUCCEEDING CASES WILL NOT BE AFFECTED.
Two master cards, back-to-back, for a given case are identified by:
MORE THAN ONE MASTER CONTROL CARD EXISTS FOR THIS CASE OR INPUT CARDS ARE OUT OF ORDER. CHECK DECK SET-UP. THE LAST MASTER CARD ENCOUNTERED WILL BE ASSUMED AS THE CORRECT MASTER CARD FOR THE SECTION O S WHICH FOLLOW.
Encountering a master card where not expected (generally indicating missing case termination and title cards) causes this message:
MASTER CONTROL CARD HAS BEEN ENCOUNTERED BEFORE CASE TERMINATION AND TITLE CARDS. CHECK DECK SET-UP. ERROR-MESSAGE TITLE WILL BE GENER- ATED AND SUMMARY OUTPUT, NO-PLOT, INPUT DATA TABULATION, AND NEXT-CASE RETURN TERMINATION PARAMETERS WILL BE ASSUMED.
If an invalid test section upstream end shape geometry is specified, one which the program cannot handle, an error results:
**ERROR -- INVALID TEST SECTION UPSTREAM END SHAPE CODE WAS SPECIFIED AS (code used) (SHOULD BE 1, 2 OR 3). THIS CASE CANNOT BE EXECUTED.
If an invalid units code is specified the message is:
THE UNITS OF MEASURE CODE IS IMPROPERLY SPECIFIED AS (code used), (SHOULD BE 1 OR 2). CHECK MASTER CARD (COLUMN 4 ) . SEE THE DATA TABULATION AT THE END OF THIS CASE. THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM OF UNITS WILL BE ASSUMED FOR THIS CASE.
If the termination code requests power-matching but the input power value is such that the calculation would be meaningless, a diagnostic of the following form is printed:
**ALTHOUGH VELOCITY-OPTIMIZING WAS REQUESTED BY TERMINATION CODE, THE
NO VELOCITY-OPTIMIZING IS POSSIBLE. RECHECK INPUT VALUE ON MASTER INPUT POWER VALUE IS ILLEGAL (LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO ZERO). THEREFORE,

3. Section card: A general omission of required data from a section card will cause this message:
**ERROR -- CRITICAL OMISSION(S) I N SECTION INPUT DATA. SEE DATA TABULATION AT END OF OUTPUT FOR T H I S CASE.**
If an invalid section shape code is specified it is not possible for the program to properly compute section end geometries; as a result an error occurs :
**ERROR -- INVALID SECTION SHAPE CODE WAS SPECIFIED AS (input code) (SHOULD BE 1, 2 OR 3 ) . T H I S SECTION WILL BE SKIPPED.
An error which arises during computation and causes a non-positive total pressure loss for a given section prevents completion of the case analysis and gives rise to an error message:
**ERROR -- SOME INCORRECT COMBINATION OF INPUTS OR UNANTICIPATED SITUATION HAS CAUSED AN INVALID (NON-POSITIVE) TOTAL LOSS LEVEL. RECHECK SECTION (section number) INPUT DATA.
If the maximum allowable number of circuit sections written into the program is exceeded by placing too many section cards together in one case, or without termination, title, and master cards between cases, this diagnostic will appear:
MAXIMUM LIMIT ON THE NUMBER OF SECTIONS (...(maximum allowable number of section) ...) HAS BEEN REACHED. EITHER A CASE TERMINATION CARD HAS BEEN OMITTED (ALONG WITH TITLE AND MASTER CARDS TO BEGIN A NEW CASE) OR THIS CASE I S TOO LONG FOR THE PROGRAMMED ALLOWABLE NUMBER OF SECTIONS. THE CASE HAS BEEN TERMINATED AT THIS POINT.
In this instance, the inputs from the group of sections for which the limit was exceeded will be tabulated and the remaining section inputs will be evaluated and tabulated. I f the user fails to cause the test section blockage amounts specified on the master control card to coincide with that of the test section card, erroneous analysis may result since inconsistent flow areas would be calculated. The section card value will be used (since the discrep- ancy may be desired) and this notice is given:
**NOTE -- TEST SECTION BLOCKAGE FROM SECTION CARD INPUT (...(section input value) ... PERCENT) DOES NOT EQUAL THAT OF THE MASTER CARD INPUT (...(master input value) ... PERCENT). CHECK DATA DECK. SECTION CARD VALUE WILL BE ASSUMED AS CORRECT AND EXECUTION WILL CONTINUE.
An invalid section type code will cause a section to be skipped and a message to be printed:

No special provision was made for two test sections in the same circuit case. from the master card, no message will be printed. In any event, the execution will not be terminated. The test section shapes and dimensions from the master card are not checked against those of the test section card. a mismatch of these values could cause a mass-flow error, including and enforcing such a check could inhibit any meaningful tandem-test section cases. These problems could be avoided, however, by naming only one working section as a test section and referring to the other by general type.

Although
Also, there was no provision for checking the specified tunnel type against the types of sections actually used (e.g., checking a non-return, or open-test-section tunnel for exit or open-throat test section input cards). This check is not critical and was left to the user.
One error-check was not included due to the program complications which would have resulted. If a case termination card is omitted at the end of a case and a computer-system control card or a title card is encountered, the error will be disastrous due to mismatched format types. Execution and calculations will be immediately aborted by the computer.
Test Case
The NASA-Ames Research Center 40- by 80-Foot Wind Tunnel was used as an example of a typical wind tunnel. This tunnel, illustrated in figure 10, is of the single-return, closed-test-section, continuous-running type. It has a flat-oval test section 12.2 m (40 ft) high by 24.4 m (80 ft) wide and is powered by six 12.2-m (40 ft) diameter, six-bladed fans. It has an eight-to- one overall contraction ratio and uses multiple-circular-arc type turning vanes in each of the four 90' corners.
Although this test case was not an exhaustive exercise of all possible tunnel components, it does include most of the basic section types: diffusing test section, single-duct contraction and diffuser, constant-area single duct,

This adjustment of the estimated performance values is pointless for a known, existing wind tunnel, but necessary for new, or proposed facilities. Before the adjustment can be made the probable error in the energy ratio esti- mate must be determined. It is desirable, therefore, to consider several existing facilities of different circuit types in order to gain a degree of confidence in the performance estimation routine.
Results
The input parameters and output performance values for the several sample cases, other than the test case shown in figure 11, are compiled in appendix D. The estimated energy ratios for the seven sample wind tunnels are presented in table 6 . The corresponding sketches for all these sample tunnel circuits are shown in figures 10 and 12.
The actual energy ratios for the first three wind tunnels presented in table 6 were estimated from the best available information on fan and electri- cal efficiencies from known input power levels. The actual performance of the other four facilities was taken from measured data.
The test case and first sample case was the circuit of the NASA-Ames Research Center 40- by 80-Foot Wind Tunnel as described previously in the test case discussion. The predicted energy ratio for this rather conventional tunnel was only 1 percent higher than the actual value when new.
The performance of the NASA-Ames 7- by 10-Foot Tunnel was predicted at a slightly optimistic level. However, this tunnel is one with several known problems which complicate the prediction process. With the air exchanger oper- ating, the primary diffuser is known to have some local flow separation, having been designed at a 6 O equivalent cone angle, an angle too great for its cross-sectional shape and length (see fig. 1). Also, the drive fan is stalled from the centerbody out to about 45 percent of the fan radius, causing some back-flow along the nacelle centerbody. efficiency has only been estimated; it was assumed that the fan efficiency would suffer by about an additional 10 percent.) In spite of these things, the predicted energy ratio was only about 3 percent too high relative to the original value of approximately 7.85, both values taken in the zero-air- exchange configuration. This agreement may indicate that much of the above- mentioned off-design performance is triggered by the air exchanger operation and is not as significant with the air exchanger closed. ent data are available to resolve this question, the fact remains that the prediction accuracy, for the stated conditions, was good.
(The impact of the stall on the fan

The Lockheed-Georgia Low-Speed Wind Tunnel employs a tandem test section design. For this analysis, the larger, V/STOL test section was used as the only reference station. Because of the two area restrictions to cross sec- tions smaller than that of the reference area (those of the smaller test sec- tion and of the fan), the tunnel efficiency would be expected to be low. (This in no way reflects on the tunnel's usefulness as a research tool or on its design or capabilities. point of reference used in the calculations.) In other than these features

The Indian Institute of Science 14- by 9-Foot Tunnel at Bangalore stands out among non-return wind tunnels as a facility with an unusually high energy ratio. Although the determination of circuit dimensions for the program input was somewhat hampered by the limitations of small drawings, the estimated energy ratio was within 1 percent of the true facility value of 6.85. It is interesting to note that the fan performance data of reference 23 would indi- cate a fan design efficiency of about 69 percent. lations based on energy ratio and test section maximum velocity, however, show that the fan efficiency must be higher than was expected; in fact, greater than 90 percent.
The power requirement calcu-
The Hawker Siddeley 15-Foot V/STOL Tunnel at Hatfield, England was con- structed under economy constraints and is a compact, cost-effective facility. The estimated performance was about 1.6 energy ratios higher (i.e., more optimistic) than the actual value of 2 . 3 8 . This is an error of about 67 per- cent. The primary performance difference was probably caused by the fan sys- tem. The losses of the ducting in this area are difficult to predict because the area changes are not gradual and are even difficult to define.
The University of Washington 8- by 12-Foot Double-Return Tunnel has a surprisingly high measured energy ratio of 8 . 3 . carefully designed circuit powered by carefully designed fans. The perform- ance estimate produced by the computer program is lower than the actual energy ratio by about 13 percent, showing that the achieved performance level is higher than would normally be expected.
This would indicate a very
The NASA-Langley Research Center 30- by 60-Foot Open-Throat Tunnel is unusual in configuration, having a double-return system with the twin fans located less than two fan-diameters downstream of the test section. The loca- tion of the data point for this tunnel on the diffuser design curves of fig- ure 1 would not indicate that any diffuser-related problems should be expected forward of the fans. The diffuser between the fans and the first corner, how- ever, does have a rather large equivalent cone angle (more than 8 ' ) . fans cause or contribute to diffuser flow problems (see the Cautionary Design Guidelines for Diffusers) and if those problems lead to corner flow ineffici- ency in a region critical to overall performance, then the circuit energy ratio may be well below the normal estimated level. Although it is not clear whether this is the case in the NASA-Langley 30-by60-Foot Tunne1,the perform- ance estimate was about 27 percent higher than the actual value of about 3.71.

Based on these results one thing is immediately clear: the performance of a wind tunnel of conventional, conservative design can be evaluated accu- rately. On the other hand, the performance of a tunnel whose design generates or contributes to flow problems (separation or grossly non-uniform) will be overestimated by the loss equations and computer program.
Flow peculiarities and off-optimum designs, even though seemingly only slight, can cause operational performance to fall significantly below the pre- dicted levels. Such problems can be expensive whether considered in terms of modifying the facility or in such terms as reduced testing capability and increased power costs. Judicious, iterative use of the estimation techniques presented in this report, simplified by computerized automation, can lead to the improvement of an existing facility through guidance of design changes or to the optimization of a proposed new wind tunnel design.

The losses for some types of sections were derived in forms not found in the literature. For others, a curve-fit of data points or a simplification of analysis was performed.

For cross-section shapes somewhere between rectangular and circular, such as flat oval (flat ceiling and floor with semi-circular sidewalls), or for dif- fusers which have one end rectangular and one end either circular or flat oval, a loss value between that for circular and rectangular may be more appropriate; thus ,

The extent to which a diffuser is planar in nature was computed from the ratio of the changes in size of the two characteristic dimensions from end to end :

COMPUTER PROGRAM FdRTRAN CODES
The following pages contain the F8RTRAN codes developed to implement the wind tunnel performance analysis techniques presented in this report.
The Notation section explains the variable names used in the program. (Note that in the notation sections, as throughout this report, all letter 0 ' s occurring in FflRTRAN names are shown with slashes, as 8 ; all number zeros are shown unslashed.) symbols presented in the main body of the report, but this section was changed in two respects. name. Second, it was expanded to include many variable names which were not used elsewhere and which have significance only in the context of the computer program. The "titles" shown in parentheses in the first column of this nota- tion section are column heading titles which appear on the program output pages.
This notation section is similar to that for engineering
First, it was rearranged alphabetically by F8RTRAN variable
Immediately following the Notation are the listings of the six actual FORTRAN program codes: (DATACK, SPEED, FRICTN, OUTPUT, AND PL8TIT). Each program routine page is titled and numbered for clarity. The last seven columns of each line on each page contain a two-letter program routine name abbreviation and a line sequence number (in ten-count increments). Thus, the user can know at a glance to which routine (and where within that routine) any given line or instruction belongs. Each instruction line in the program is uniquely identified.

INPUT AND OUTPUT FOR SAMPLE CASES
Six wind tunnels were used, in addition to the test case (fig. ll), as I
sample cases to establish the reliability and accuracy of the computer program analysis technique for the various types of duct components and wind tunnel circuits. Each case included here is titled with the appropriate wind tunnel name and its pages are numbered. The performance analyses are presented on the first two to three pages of each case. The summary characteristics tabu- lations and the plotted information were omitted. The annotated tabulations of the input data were included for reference.
The results of the performance analyses are summarized in table 6 . They are discussed and critiqued in the Results and Evaluation sections of this report.
