Wind Tunnel Investigation of Pressure Distribution and Transition Position of a Swept 3D Wing

Authors

Abstract:

Extensive wind tunnel tests are conducted to evaluate surface pressure distribution of a semi span swept wing. The wing section has a laminar flow airfoil similar to NACA 6-series airfoils. The investigations are conducted at various speeds and angles of attack. Surface pressure distribution over the wing upper surface is measured for both chordwise and spanwise sections. Statistical analyses are performed on the data to realize the transition point at each chordwise section. The 3D pressure profiles are compared to the corresponding 2D results at the same conditions. Calculation of the standard deviation, SD, of time variable pressure data shows that SD increases in the transition area and then decreases again when the flow becomes fully turbulent downstream. The measured transition points are further compared with 2D computational results.

Wind Tunnel Test of a Paraglider ( flexible ) Wing Canopy

Abstract: An inflatable cell model of paragrlider’s wing canopy has been investigated in wind tunnel experiments, which is designed to represent the dynamic behaviors of each cell comprising the canopy. Effects of air-intake of paraglider canopy have also been investigated in this study. The improvement of the shape of air intake and pressure distribution from the standpoints of aerodynamics wi...

Dynamic Stability Analysis of a Propeller-wing Wind Tunnel Model

The research project “Bürgernahes Flugzeug” deals with the configuration of a future airplane with the properties of short take-off and landing and with reduced noise from the acoustic aspect. These properties should permit flight from a smaller airport closer to a city. In this project, under the cooperation of the main research partners: University of Braunschweig, German Aerospace Center (DL...

DNS of laminar-turbulent transition in swept-wing boundary layers

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) is performed to examine laminar to turbulent transition due to high-frequency secondary instability of stationary crossflow vortices in a subsonic swept-wing boundary layer for a realistic natural-laminar-flow airfoil configuration. The secondary instability is introduced via inflow forcing and the mode selected for forcing corresponds to the most amplified sec...

An Investigation on Performance of Shrouding a Small Wind Turbine with a Simple Ring in a Wind Tunnel

Ducted wind turbines are a kind of small wind turbine having a diffuser or any other shape around the rotor which increases the air flow through the blades and absorbs more power. In the present study, a small wind turbine was ducted with a relatively simple ring and its performance was investigated in a wind tunnel. The duct is shaped using rolling steel sheets on a sloping surface and finally...
