An approximation method has been developed for calculating the spanwise distribution of wind-tunnel-boundary upwash interference on lift of wings in rectangular perforated-wall test sections. This method is applied to square test sections with an assumed effective permeability constant of 0.6. A problem of considerable difficulty in practical application of the method presented is the estimation of an effective permeability constant. Because of the variation of the upwash interference with Mach number and of the influence of boundary layer on the effective permeability factor, the boundary interference in a perforated-wall wind-tunnel test section at high subsonic Mach numbers is likely to be of the nature of that in an open-throat tunnel.
