1992 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. lnc. All rights reserved. The ASU Transition Research Facility is commonly called the ASU Unsteady Wind Tunnel because of its unsteady-flow capability. This facility has been in operation since 1988. It is a closed return tunnel within which oscillatory flows of air can be generated for the study of unsteady problems in low- speed aerodynamics. Because it also has excellent low- turbulence characteristics, it has been used principally as a boundary-layer transition research facility. The wind tunnel is described along with its unsteady calibration data. Examples of frees tream turbulence and boundary-layer transition measurements are given.
