Based on theoretical studies and experience with a low speed cryogenic tunnel and with the transonic cryogenic tunnel, the cryogenic wind tunnel concept has been shown to offer many advantages with respect to the attainment of full scale Reynolds number at reasonable levels of dynamic pressure in a ground based facility. The unique modes of operation available in a pressurized cryogenic tunnel make possible for the first time the separation of Mach number, Reynolds number, and aeroelastic effects.
