Oliver Fischer analyzes the interference effects occurring in
free-stream wind tunnels as well as their correction and simulation.
With this work, the investigated correction method and the comparability
of its results as well as flow simulation results are improved. The
model wind tunnel of the IVK, University of Stuttgart, is simulated in
various wind tunnel configurations. The application of a correction
procedure to the corresponding experimental data from the model wind
tunnel of the IVK is examined. These correction results are directly
comparable with interference-free simulation results and thus allow a
conclusion on the functionality of the correction method. Based on these
findings, this thesis proposes a modification of the correction method
that improves the comparability of corrected experimental results and
CFD simulations in idealized test conditions.
