Trailing-edge data for boundary layer/near wake thickness parameters are given airfoils and flat plates. Reynolds number effects are examined as a function of model size, velocity and boundary-layer tripping. Reference comparisons are made with boundary-layer calculations using potential-flow modeling and a finite-difference method for laminar and boundary layers. Open wind-tunnel corrections to angle to attack and camber are incorporated into the potential-flow modeling. It was found that the open tunnel flow turbulence affects early boundary-layer transition for the higher velocities. The theory still 'brackets' the data allowing some assessment of boundary-layer transition behaviour.
