	%X Subsonic wind tunnel experiments were conducted to
study the effect of tripped boundary layer on the pressure distribution
in the contraction region of the tunnel. Measurements were
performed by installing trip strip at two different positions in the
concave portion of the contraction. The results show that installation
of the trip strips, have significant effects on both turbulence and
pressure distribution. The reduction in the free stream turbulence and
reduction of the wall static pressure distribution deferred signified
with the location of the trip strip.
