Wind Tunnel Testing of Novel Wing Configurations for Design and Customisation in an Industry 4.0 Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Industry 4.0 calls for validated simulations for rapid customization and through-life designs. Wind tunnel experiments are widely used in validating flow-field simulations for aircraft design and manufacture. In this paper, we develop testing for simulating the NACA0015 model wings in various shapes and Angles of Attacks (AoA) through an anatomy wind tunnel. Particle traces are recorded during the tests and then analyzed with PIVlab and Tecplot for validating streamlines and vorticity distributions. The experimental results show that the wing shape with a relatively large angle of sweepback and an AoA ranging from +10to +15deg possess good aerodynamic behaviors for an aircraft. We discuss future prospects of aircraft simulations in an Industry 4.0 context. Keywords—Wind Tunnel, wing, Angle of Attack, streamline, vorticity, flow separation, laminar, turbulent, leading-edge vortex, Industry 4.0

Comparison Final Velocity for Land Yacht with a Rigid Wing and Cloth Sail
The powering requirement of a land yacht is one of the most important aspects of its design. In this respect the wind tunnel testing is an effective design tool. In fact, changing the parameters of the vehicle and testing the changes in the wind tunnel will give us a better understanding of the most efficient vehicle, and yet it is time consuming, expensive, and has inherent scaling errors. Ano...
متن کاملEffect of Wing Sweep Angle on the Vortex Interaction of a Tail-Wing Configuration
The goal of this investigation is to study the effect of wing sweep angle on the horizontal wing-body- tail configurations in subsonic flow. For this purpose, a series of wind tunnel tests were conducted on a model having a moveable horizontal tail and a wing planform with different sweep angles. Tests were performed at different tail deflection angles. Static surface pressure distribution over...
