The effect of air humidity on transonic flow around an NACA0012 airfoil at flow conditions, characteristic for buffet phenomenon, was investigated experimentally. Airfoil angles of attack in the range from 6° up to 10° were used, whereas values of initial relative air humidity were kept constant at four values 12%, 40%, 60% and 80%. Reconstructed time depending airfoil pressure distributions, time histories of normal aerodynamic force coefficient C, as well values of C0 pulsation are shown on the basis of surface pressure measurements at various humidity levels. The influence of the air humidity on the buffet origin is presented.
