Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wind-tunnel investigations of VTOL and STOL airplane models involve configurations in which a large amount of power is being used to generate part of the lift through the medium of propeller slipstreams or jet exhausts directed downward at large angles to the free-stream direction. For many configurations the propellers or jet exhausts are arranged, for example, as in the jet flap, to cover the entire span of the wing and thus to assist the wind in its natural process of producing so-called 'circulation' lift. This arrangement results in the streamlines in the vicinity of the wing also being turned through large angles to the free-stream direction of flow. The presence of the tunnel walls, however, imposes the conditions that the streamlines at the tunnel walls must be parallel to the free stream. Thus, the problem of tunnel-wall effects in VTOL-STOL model testing is similar to that associated with conventional model testing but differs greatly in degree. Experience has shown that, in addition to these usual tunnel-wall effects, flow separation on the model can also be induced by the tunnel walls. The experiences of the Langley Research Center of N.A.S.A. related to these problems in closed-throat wind tunnels are reviewed. (Author).

This book was released on 1965 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The five aircraft tested represent a wide variety of V/STOL concepts. Correlation between the wind-tunnel and flight-test aerodynamic results is generally good when wind-tunnel wall corrections are omitted; in some cases wall corrections are shown to degrade the correlation. The aircraft and wind-tunnel geometry are related to model-tunnel sizing parameters and a VTOL lift parameter, in order to establish tentative sizing criteria for V/STOL wind-tunnel testing with small wall effects. The report is one of the series 515-522 of papers presented at the 27th meeting of the AGARD Flight Mechanics Panel, held 11-12 October 1965 in Rome, Italy. (Author).

This book was released on 1974 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wind tunnel boundary interference on a V/STOL model is calculated in a rectangular test section with solid vertical walls and ventilated (perforated or slotted) horizontal walls. The interference is found by applying the small perturbation theory of an incompressible fluid to the boundary value problem. The theory uses an image method in addition to Fourier transforms with an equivalent homogeneous boundary condition on the ventilated wall. The mathematical representation of the V/STOL model accounts for the curvature and decay of the wake. The assumption of a constant wake strength produces a paradox in that the maximum value of the interference factors increases as the initial jet velocity decreases. The most significant aspect of the analysis shows that nonlinear cross-flow effects at the tunnel boundary are important in the V/STOL case, and a quasi-linear approximation to these effects is introduced into the solution providing good agreement with experimental data.

This book was released on 1968 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wind-tunnel test section with closed upper wall, slotted side walls, and open lower boundary was found theoretically to produce zero tunnel-boundary lift interference on a small wing with horizontal wake mounted at the center of the test section. For this test section the variation of the interference with angle of the vortex wake behind a high-lift-coefficient model was not large. Because of the small slot widths required for zero interference and of the effects of boundary layer, the theory is regarded as unreliable for predicting the slot widths required; however, the variation of the interference with the slot width for widths somewhat greater than those needed for zero interference was found to be small. The interference in the region likely to be occupied by the tall of a model was investigated in some detail and was found to change with slot width and with wake angle more strongly than did the interference at the lifting element. A limited investigation of the lift interference in a test section with closed upper wall and slotted side and lower boundaries was made to obtain the theoretically indicated slot width required for zero lift interference at a center-mounted wing with the wake horizontal.

This book was released on 1970 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under sufficiently large wake deflections, the forward portion of the wake is found to flow forward along the floor leading to a vortex pattern which results in Rae's limits (Journal of Aircraft, May-June 1967). Although wind-tunnel data cannot normally be corrected successfully beyond these limits, it may be possible to obtain ground-effect data for conditions more severe than those implied by Rae.

This book was released on 1973 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report deals with an experimental investigation of some of the problems associated with wind tunnel testing of V/STOL type aircraft. The models used in the study were either rotors or propellers acting as a rotor. Various size and shape wind tunnel test sections were simulated by the use of inserts installed within a larger main wind tunnel test section. The study investigated the application of wind tunnel wall corrections to models with large values of downwash. A physical limit, called flow breakdown, to the size and allowable downwash for a given model-tunnel combination was also studied. (Modified author abstract).
