Abstract
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">One of the hardest tasks involving wind tunnel characterization is to determine the air-flow condition inside the test section. The Log-Tchebycheff method and the Equal Area method allow calculation of local velocities from measured differential pressures on rectangular and circular ducts. However, these two standard methods for air flow measurement are limited by the number of accurate pressure readings by the Pitot tube. In this paper, a new approach is presented for wind tunnel calibrations. This approach is based on a limited number of dynamic pressure measurements and a predictive technique using Neural Network (NN). To optimize the NN, the extended great deluge (EGD) algorithm is used. Wind tunnel testing involves a large number of variables such as wind direction, velocity, rate flow, turbulence characteristics, temperature variation and pressure distribution on airfoils. NN has the advantage that multilayer perceptron neural networks can describe a 3D flow area with a small amount of experimental data, fewer numbers of iterations and less computation time per iteration. The Fluent results are used to train and optimize the proposed NN approach. The validation of this new approach is achieved by experimental tests using the wind tunnel Price-Paidoussis of LARCASE laboratory. This wind tunnel has two test chambers; a first chamber with a section equal to 0.3 × 0.6 meter that provides a speed ranging from 0 to 60 m/s and a second chamber test with a section equal to 0.6 × 0.9 meter that provides a speed from 0 to 30 m/s.</div></div>

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
