Description of Experiment
The experiment of TU München is described in detail by Furman and Breitsamter (2009). It has been performed in a low-speed wind tunnel of closed-return type with an open test section. The following measurement techniques have been used for the considered conditions:
- Steady surface pressure taps (sampling rate of 100 Hz, averaging time of 10 s).
- Unsteady surface pressure sensors (sampling rate of 2000 Hz, sample time of 40 s).
- Stereo Particle Image Velocimetry (Stereo-PIV) to measure time-averaged velocities.
- Hot-Wire Anemometry (HWA) to measure velocity fluctuations.
- Oil-flow visualization of the surface streamlines.
Boundary Data
The free stream is defined by the Mach number and angle of attack as specified above. The experimenters give the following indications for the uncertainty in the free stream:
- uncertainty in free stream direction less than 0.2°,
- static pressure variations along tunnel axis less than 0.4%,
- uncertainty in temporal and spatial mean velocity distribution less than 0.6%.
Furthermore, the free stream turbulence intensity is stated to be less than 0.4%.
Measurement Errors
For the different measurement techniques employed (pressures sensors, HWA, stereo-PIV) no information on measurement uncertainties is given by the experimenters.
Measured Data
The measured data consists of the following set:
- Steady surface pressure measurements at five chord stations:

- Unsteady surface pressure measurements at four chord stations:
