Experiments were conducted on a rotating wing in a fluid-filled tank to determine the minimum required tip clearance to produce data free from wall effects. A rotating wing at an angle of attack of 45 degrees was revolved for two revolutions at Reynolds numbers between 120 and 10000. Tip clearance was varied from 0.5 chords to 7 chords by changing wing size. Force data and dye flow visualization were acquired. Results show large tip effects for 0.5 chords of clearance and no wall effects for 5 and 7 chord clearance cases at all Reynolds numbers tested. The 3 chord clearance case showed no wall effects for Reynolds numbers of less than 1000 in the first revolution, and minor wall effects for greater Reynolds number and stroke amplitudes. A tip clearance of 5 chords is deemed to be free of wall effects for experiments at Reynolds numbers of 10000 and below and for stroke amplitudes of no more than two revolutions.
