This book was released on 1997 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this Symposium was to gather and review both current knowledge and ongoing research on the aerodynamic design and evaluation of ground test facilities, focusing primarily on wind tunnels, in order to provide to the designers of experimental facilities an opportunity to exchange information, ideas, and visions. Shrinking budgets for new facilities have led to fewer facilities being developed and longer development times, which have in turn led to less opportunity for advances in the state-of-the-art and for the retention of the experts needed for the design of good experimental facilities. The normal overriding user objectives, when conducting almost any kind of wind-tunnel test, are obtaining reliable and meaningful data in a timely and cost-effective manner. Principal requirements for obtaining reliable and meaningful data are an adequate Reynolds number, representative or satisfactory tunnel flow quality, and the avoidance of tunnel wall and support system effects. Factors which are important in satisfying the timeliness and cost effectiveness requirements include minimizing the time required for model installation and configuration changes, utilization of efficient data gathering systems, and the ability to use rapid techniques to account for tunnel wall and support system interference effects. Since the aerodynamic design of wind-tunnel circuits has a fundamental first order effect on tunnel flow quality, tunnel wall and support interference effects, and on tunnel construction costs, the adequacy of the circuit design is of crucial importance in meeting the user's objectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1997 and 1999, a Working Group on the feasibility of collaborative, multi-facility windtunnel testing for the validation of Computational Fluid Dynamics Codes (CFD) has established the following results: Wintunnel tests are the main source of CFD validation but all have specific bias errors. Testing of the same model in several facilities can better establish the level of uncertainty in windtunnel tests and hence help assess possible differences between CFD and windtunnel tests. The Working Group, after an initial inquiry, established the need for CFD validation for fighter aircraft, transport type aircraft, missiles and helicopters. Effort and cost can be controlled efficiently and would permit the improvement of CFD Codes for considerable cost saving in future developments.
Download or read book Wind Tunnel Wall Correction written by B. F. R. Ewald and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report was compiled by an international team of wind tunnel wall correction experts. It presents the present state of the art in wind tunnel wall corrections with a special emphasis given to the description of modern wall correction methods based on Computational Fluid Dynamics. This AGARDograph was planned by the AGARD Fluid Dynamics Panel to be a modern sequel of the successful AGARDograph 109 "Subsonic Wind Tunnel Wall Corrections", which was published in 1966. AGARDogaph 109 is still valid and continues to be used to provide wall corrections in many wind tunnels. Nevertheless, in the thirty two years since the publication of AGARDograph 109, much work has been done on the subject, and the influence of the new tool of numerical fluid dynamics was so strong, that a sequel to AGARDograph 109 was considered to be necessary.

Symposium and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demands for higher performance for modern aircraft have led the wind tunnel community, which is an integral link in the design process, to develop more refined and cost effective measuring techniques. These technologies have gradually matured from laboratory novelties into instruments regularly used in aerodynamic testing. The development of these modern measurement techniques has greatly extended the capability and accuracy of the classical methods for measurement techniques and provided better insight into flow physics. This Symposium provided a forum for active researchers to address the state-of-the-art, to exchange experiences and ideas, and for the practitioners to obtain an overview of the technology and learn how to appy it.
