A method for computing interference effects due to ventilated wind-tunnel walls on lifting transonic airfoils is presented. Differences between the present method based on nonlinear transonic theory and the classical correction formulae from linear subsonic theory are discussed. Computed results are presented for an NACA 0012 in solid and perforated wall tunnels. The solid wall calculations are compared with data.
