Wind tunnels can now simulate flows over airfoils at high Reynolds numbers and high subsonic speeds. Methods to correct for (or reduce) test section wall interference at these test conditions must be validated. The National Aeronautics Establishment (NAE) of Canada and NASA have a cooperative agreement to study this area. The NAE designed, built, and tested a CAST-10 airfoil model in its conventional Two-Dimensional High Reynolds Number Facility. The results were corrected using classical correction techniques. NASA then tested the same model in its 0.3-meter Transonic Cryogenic Tunnel with the adaptive wall test section. The adaptive wall test section reduced the wall interference to what was expected to be an acceptable level. The corrected NAE results are compared with the uncorrected NASA results. The NAE results are also compared with NASA results after residual corrections for top and bottom wall interference. Finally, a comparison of both sets of results corrected for interference from all four walls is presented.
