Hi,

I have recently seen one of the training materials named ‘Transonic Flow over a RAE 2822 Airfoil’ (screenshot attached below) and I found it very useful for my dissertation project.

The version of that tutorial that found is for a NACA 0012 aerofoil so I'm not sure where your version came from: the fact it's tutorial XX and not a real number suggests someone was modifying something. I also know the person who did the proof reading and "angels of attack" wouldn't get very far! In your version is there a slide altering the angle for the force monitors?

Hi,
Thank you for your response. I am aware that there is no RAE2822 transonic case in the current Fluent materials. When I search for 'rae 2822 fluent tutorial' on google there are multiple versions of this document, some of them have the 'Tutorial XX' replaced by 'WS4' as the example I have attached below. The slide with adjusting the force monitors X and Y coords is in and looks like this -

It's not a standard tutorial, but could be something someone has altered for a specific course. Please let me know the source. One of our testing group looking at the RAE 2282 makes a reference to
Airfoil RAE 2822 ÔÇô Pressure Distributions and Boundary Layer and Wake Measurements; Cook, McDonald, Firmin
as well as AGARD
and suggests some correction coefficients are derived experimentally. One to ask your supervisor and report back: do wind tunnels have a correction factor?
