Wall shape changed iteratively until it matches streamlines. FLEXWAL predicts upper and lower wall modifications necessary to remove wall-interference effects in adaptive-wall wind tunnels. FLEXWAL aids in elimination of wall-interference effects on objects tested in typical two-dimensional wind tunnel with rigid sidewalls and flexible, solid floor and ceiling boundaries. Iterative procedure valid for subsonic and transonic test conditions, and convergence of method verified both analytically and experimentally. FLEXWAL written in FORTRAN IV for batch execution.
