چکیده
It is important to study the effects of air condensation in hypersonic wind tunnels and to establish the degree of supersaturation achievable because savings in heating requirements or increase in Mach number may be achieved. The degree of supersaturation measured in this tunnel shows that with the present heater the upper limit on Mach number may be extended 22 from M = 9 to M = 12. Proof testing of models is required to establish that results in supersaturated flow agree with those obtained in subsaturated flow because localised condensation effects in expansion regions may occur. Integrated pressure distributions on a Nonweiler wing show that sub-and super-saturated flows give similar results but that condensing flow shows differences in ~p on the suction side at low incidence and on the windward side at high incidence, which results in a decrease in L/D maxwithout friction of about 10 per cent.

Speed Detection in Wind-Tunnels by processing Schlieren Images (RESEARCH NOTE)
Schlieren imaging in wind-tunnels is extensively utilized to study the effects of air on an airplane surface. One of the interesting subjects for research is to study the effects of speed change on the airplane surface. Speed change results in occurrence of shock waves, which are visualized as lines on Schlieren images. In this paper, we study the problem of detecting speed of a plane after occ...
متن کامل3-D Numerical Investigation of Flow Field in Starting Stage of High Speed Wind Tunnels
High speed wind tunnels are widely used in the study of fluid flow behavior around various objects. The air flow in the starting step of supersonic wind tunnels is transient including strong shock waves caused by the interaction of the tunnel main stream and the boundary layer at walls. To arrive in running step, the tunnel must be designed so as these waves leave immediately the test section. ...

Extensive wind tunnel tests are conducted to evaluate surface pressure distribution of a semi span swept wing. The wing section has a laminar flow airfoil similar to NACA 6-series airfoils. The investigations are conducted at various speeds and angles of attack. Surface pressure distribution over the wing upper surface is measured for both chordwise and spanwise sections. Statistical analyses a...
