Selection criteria of optimal conditions for supersonic tests in a blowdown wind tunnel [PDF]
A natural desire of a wind tunnel test engineer is to plan and perform a test that will resemble the actual flight conditions as closely as possible. Geometric similarity and identical flight and wind tunnel Mach numbers are the primary requirements and ...

Pressure-Sensitive Paint Measurements in a Blowdown Wind Tunnel
A methodology to correct for temperature effects on pressure-sensitive paint data in a blowdown wind tunnel has been suggested. PSP measurements using Optrod-B1 paint were made on an aircraft model instrumented with thermocouples and conventional pressure taps.

Stagnation Pressure Transient Control in a Supersonic Blowdown Wind Tunnel Test Facility
Abstract Research in the area of wind tunnel flow parameters control has been intensified in recent years, in an attempt to improve quality and efficiency of the wind tunnel operation. In this paper, stagnation pressure transient control in a supersonic blowdown-type wind tunnel is considered, with the aim of increasing available measurement time and

OPTIMIZED CONTROLLER DESIGN FOR A BLOWDOWN SUPERSONIC WIND TUNNEL BY USING GENETIC ALGORITHM [PDF]
Blowdown Supersonic Wind Tunnels (SWTs) are generally operated with a constant stagnation pressure in the settling chamber, with control usually provided by one or more pressure regulators or control valves. In this paper, first, a Simulink block diagram

Abstract Current trends in the development of control systems involve disproportionately high costs for embedded software integration and testing techniques that rely almost exclusively on exhaustive testing of more or less complete versions of complex systems. Wind tunnel control systems are not an exception. A formal methodology for supersonic flow

Thermal effects influencing measurements in a supersonic blowdown wind tunnel
During a supersonic run of a blowdown wind tunnel, temperature of air in the test section drops which can affect planned measurements. Adverse thermal effects include variations of the Mach and Reynolds numbers, variation of airspeed, condensation of moisture on the model, change of characteristics of the instrumentation in the model, et ...
