Investigation of subsonic boundary layer effects on supersonic-type airfoil sections

<p>It was found in this investigation that the testing of supersonic airfoils at subsonic speeds to obtain pressure distributions will result in considerable error if the models are tested at very low Reynolds Numbers. The thickness of the boundary layer is critical at low Reynolds Numbers and...
