Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The existing ARL Transonic Wind Tunnel, which is the largest such tunnel in Australia, has severely limited testing capabilities due to a low test Reynolds number and an inadequate test section size. These deficiencies are becoming more acute as military aircraft performance capabilities increase. For current fighter aircraft, the ratio of tunnel test to flight Reynolds number is about 1:100 and the extrapolation of tunnel data to flight carries a high risk of serious error and for some conditions is not possible at all. The small test section size limits the scale of the models which can be tested. The difficulty of machining small models to the required accuracy produces excessive manufacturing times. Moreover, it is not possible to incorporate remotely adjusted control surfaces. These two factors severely restrict tunnel productivity. Various new types of transonic wind tunnels have been suggested overseas and these are discussed briefly. Configurations suitable for local needs are considered, and the basic specification for an appropriate wind tunnel is provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brand-new edition of the classic guide on low-speed wind tunnel testing While great advances in theoretical and computational methods have been made in recent years, low-speed wind tunnel testing remains essential for obtaining the full range of data needed to guide detailed design decisions for many practical engineering problems. This long-awaited Third Edition of William H. Rae, Jr.'s landmark reference brings together essential information on all aspects of low-speed wind tunnel design, analysis, testing, and instrumentation in one easy-to-use resource. Written by authors who are among the most respected wind tunnel engineers in the world, this edition has been updated to address current topics and applications, and includes coverage of digital electronics, new instrumentation, video and photographic methods, pressure-sensitive paint, and liquid crystal-based measurement methods. The book is organized for quick access to topics of interest, and examines basic test techniques and objectives of modeling and testing aircraft designs in low-speed wind tunnels, as well as applications to fluid motion analysis, automobiles, marine vessels, buildings, bridges, and other structures subject to wind loading. Supplemented with real-world examples throughout, Low-Speed Wind Tunnel Testing, Third Edition is an indispensable resource for aerospace engineering students and professionals, engineers and researchers in the automotive industries, wind tunnel designers, architects, and others who need to get the most from low-speed wind tunnel technology and experiments in their work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wind tunnel is the most fundamental test equipment for aircraft testing and studying aerodynamics. Because of the complexity of the test-subject's geometry, it is difficult to study the aerodynamic pattern simply based on theoretical calculations. Most of the aerodynamics experiments still use wind tunnels. The progress of the wind tunnel is highly related to the advancements in air crafts. Aircraft manufacturing has pushed the wind tunnel technology forward. Wind tunnels can be categorized by the wind speed limit differences, which are controlled by the mechanism of the driving methods, structure applications, etc. In this case, we built a small scale wood based wind tunnel for future testing of "Magnetic Augmented Rotational System (MARS)". This thesis discusses the low speed wind tunnel, subsonic wind tunnel, transonic wind tunnel, supersonic wind tunnel, hypersonic wind tunnel, high enthalpy hypersonic wind tunnel, and puts the focus on low speed wind tunnel. The characteristics of the low speed wind tunnel and the related data will be presented along with its advantages and shortcomings.
