A theory is presented for the boundary-induced up-wash interference on a sweptback lifting wing mounted at the center of a rectangular wind-tunnel test section with slotted top and bottom walls and closed side walls. A sample calculation for a wing spanning 0.7 of the width of a square tunnel shows the span-wise variation in the interference characteristic of this type of test section. For this example, the wing sweep did not have a large effect on the interference.

A theory is presented for the boundary-induced upwash interference on a sweptback wing mounted in a rectangular wind-tunnel test section with closed top and bottom walls and slotted side walls. The interference factor can be computed at any point in the test section. In an example, the interference with slotted side walls is compared with that with slotted top and bottom walls.
