Abstract
Evolution of research into flow conditions in confined spaces, such as model ducts or blade cascades under high subsonic or transonic air velocities, has necessitated the development of specialized forms of instrumentation for both optical and physical analysis. In this paper some of these special instruments are described, and an example of their application to a compressor-cascade examination in a high-speed wind tunnel is included.Keywords
