Title: The application of cryogenics to high Reynolds number testing in wind tunnels. Part 2: Development and application of the cryogenic wind tunnel concept
Abstract: An improved way to increase the Reynolds number capability of wind tunnels has been developed through the application of cryogenic technology. Part 1 of this two-part review covered the evolution, theory, and major advantages of cryogenic wind tunnels. This paper describes the development and early application of the cryogenic wind tunnel concept in the United States at the NASA Langley Research Center. Also presented are some of the major activities around the world related to cryogenic wind tunnels, the most significant of which is a large transonic cryogenic tunnel recently completed at the Langley Research Center.
