Book Description
Wind tunnel tests were conducted to provide support interference information for planning and directing wind tunnel tests at supersonic and hypersonic Mach numbers. Sting-length and sting-diameter effects on base and surface pressures of a blunt 6-deg cone with a sliced base were investigated at Mach numbers 2, 3, 5, and 8. Dynamic stability tests on a blunt 7-deg cone were also conducted at Mach numbers 2, 5, and 8. The objectives of the 7-deg cone tests were to define critical sting lengths as determined by the measurement of dynamic stability derivatives, static pitching moment, and base pressure. Two frequencies of oscillation were investigated, and data were obtained for laminar, transitional, and turbulent boundary-layer conditions at the model base. The data from the 6- and 7-deg cone tests showed that the critical sting length depended on the interference indicator, Mach number, angle of attack, state of the model boundary layer, and frequency of oscillation. The critical sting length was generally less for models with turbulent boundary layers than for those with laminar boundary layers. A critical sting length of 2.5 model diameters was determined to be suitable for all test conditions that produced a turbulent boundary layer at or ahead of the model base.

Languages : en

Book Description
Wind tunnel tests were conducted to provide sting-support interference information for planning and directing wind tunnel tests at subsonic and transonic Mach numbers. Sting-length effects on dynamic stability derivatives, static pitching moment, and base pressure of a blunt, flat-base 7- deg cone were investigated at Mach numbers 0.2 to 1.3 in the Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC) Propulsion Wind Tunnel Facility (PWT). Two frequencies of oscillation, nominally 5.3 and 2.9 Hz, were investigated. The boundary-layer state at the model base was turbulent for all Mach numbers greater than 0.2. The interference effects of two types of model-wake splitter plates were also investigated. The results showed that the critical sting length depended on the Mach number, angle of attack, and type of data used as the interference indicator. A critical sting length of three model diameters was determined to be suitable for all test conditions for the ratio of sting-diameter-to-model-base- diameter (0.22) for this test.

An Investigation of Sting Interference Effects on an Oscillating Cone in Transonic Flow
Author: Frederick B. Cyran
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Aerodynamics, Transonic
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
Wind tunnel sting support interference effects on dynamic stability derivatives, static pitching moment and base pressure of a blunt, 7-deg cone were investigated at subsonic and transonic Mach numbers. The cone was tested with sting configurations having a variable effective sting length ranging from 1 to 3.3 model base diameters, at angles of attack ranging from 0 to 30 deg. A forced-oscillation system was utilized to obtain data at a frequency of oscillation of approximately 5.3 Hz, and at an amplitude of 1 deg. The Reynolds number, based on model base diameter, was nominally 1.8 million, which produced a turbulent boundary layer over the aft portion of the model. The nature of the causes of these interference effects is discussed and analyzed with respect to sting length, type of measurement, and Mach number, with emphasis on defining critical sting length and on predicting minimal interference sting configurations for dynamic stability testing. The results showed that the critical sting length depended on the type of measurement used as the interference indicator, Mach number, and angle of attack. A critical sting length of three model diameters was determined to be suitable for all test conditions for the ratio of sting diameter-to-model base diameter (0.22) investigated. (Author).
