The Impact of Pressure Regulators on the Runtime and Energy Savings of Supersonic Blowdown Wind Tunnels

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2016
Pressure regulators have a great impact on the runtime and energy savings of supersonic wind tunnels. In order to investigate this impact quantitatively the theoretical isentropic (ideal) equations for the supersonic wind tunnel flow were compared with viscous CFD computations.

Visualization of sidewall vortices in rectangular nozzle supersonic blowdown wind tunnel

Physics of Fluids
This study focuses on the details of the geometry and dynamics of sidewall vortices observed in supersonic wind tunnels with a rectangular cross section of the nozzle and the test section. The formation of sidewall vortices limits the accuracy of the data measured during wind tunnels' testing due to a reduced area of uniform core flow results.

System design and Flow simulation of a Blowdown Sliding-block Supersonic Wind tunnel

Journal of Science and Transport Technology
This study presents the design, simulation and performance evaluation of a blowdown sliding-block supersonic wind tunnel having a test section sized 20 × 20 cm, capable of operating in the range of Mach number from 2 to 4. This sliding-block mechanism allows precise control of Mach number by adjusting the nozzle throat area.
