A novel three-dimensional technique for correcting wind tunnel measurements for wall interference has been developed. The flow around the test body and its wake is approximated as a series of inviscid singularities, while the wind tunnel walls and model support are approximated using a panel method. A nonlinear least-squares approach with trust-region reflective optimization is then used to obtain the strength and locations of singularities together with the domain boundary panel strengths by fitting to measured wall pressures. The technique is demonstrated using computational fluid dynamics for the test case of a well-documented slender delta wing body with high blockage and validated against both experiments and legacy data. The nonlinear least-squares wall correction method is shown to demonstrate a significant improvement in wall corrections compared to the classical two-variable technique.
