This report was compiled by an international team of wind tunnel wall correction experts. It presents the present state of the art in wind tunnel wall corrections with a special emphasis given to the description of modern wall correction methods based on Computational Fluid Dynamics. This AGARDograph was planned by the AGARD Fluid Dynamics Panel to be a modern sequel of the successful AGARDograph 109 "Subsonic Wind Tunnel Wall Corrections", which was published in 1966. AGARDogaph 109 is still valid and continues to be used to provide wall corrections in many wind tunnels. Nevertheless, in the thirty two years since the publication of AGARDograph 109, much work has been done on the subject, and the influence of the new tool of numerical fluid dynamics was so strong, that a sequel to AGARDograph 109 was considered to be necessary.

A computer program was developed to obtain the wind tunnel wall corrections for wing angle of attack, induced drag, and pitching moment in incompressible flow. The vortex lattice method is used for computation of these correction factors. The program can be applied to wind tunnels of arbitrary cross-sectional shape, and wings of any desired planform, subject to the constraint of straight leading and trailing edges. (Author).
