Scope
Wind tunnel data are often presented without reference to the quality of the results. When data uncertainty
is considered, it is normally in the form of repeatability from a few supposedly identical tests. Only rarely
are estimates of uncertainty based on professional calibrations of facilities and instrumentation, a thorough
review of the process producing the data, and comprehensive accounting of significant biases inherent in
the experiment.
