The effect of wind tunnel walls on the development of flow separation in the wing-fuselage juncture area is assessed using FUN3D’s overset and wind tunnel controller capabilities. The simulation data obtained from the in-tunnel runs are compared with the free-air simulations. The simulation results are also evaluated using measurements from the recently completed Phase 2 of the Juncture Flow Experiment. In general, the simulation data compared well with the measurements, however there were no significant differences in the prediction of the separation location, size, and shape, between the free-air and the in-tunnel runs. The results of this study suggest that the effects of tunnel walls on the flow separation in the juncture region are relatively small.
