A continuous effort in the area of transonic boundary interference correction has been underway at McDonnell Douglas Aerospace for over 6 years. A method of interference correction based on force and moment increments computed from CFD solutions was proposed in 1986. An extensive validation database has been acquired of transonic wind tunnel data for a set of geometrically similar models of different sizes. An empirical model of the flow at a porous transonic wind tunnel wall has been used in conjunction with panel codes and Euler solvers to yield corrections at a variety of conditions in both the MDA Polysonic Wind Tunnel (PSWT) and the MDA Trisonic Wind Tunnel (TWT).
