Abstract
Some of the major difficulties in wind tunnel experiments arise from t he blockage effect, the Reynolds number disparity, and the possible er rors induced by the response of the tubing system to pressure fluctuat ions. These are discussed and methods to solve the problems are presen ted, including typical examples of application.
