A series of wind tunnel tests are being performed at the Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel (UPWT)at NASA Langley Research Center to assess the validity of using computational fluid dynamics(CFD) as a surrogate for wind tunnel testing. In order to make proper comparisons, uncertainties in CFD results and experimental data must be well understood. The material presented highlights the methods, assumptions, and inputs used to achieve experimental uncertainty estimates. Results for a small subset of tunnel conditions and variables of interest from the first test in the series, the Flow Survey Test, are highlighted and sample CFD comparisons are shown. The bulk of the results from this work are used for comparisons in other AIAA conference papers related to this test series.
