An extensive experimental investigation to understand the aerodynamic behavior of wrap around fin (WAF) missile configuration has been conducted. Various tests using at first a standard model (TTCP) in the trisonic wind tunnel of Imam Hossein University has been performed. The tunnel has attest section of 60×60 cm2 and can operate at Mach numbers of 0.4≤M∞≤2.2 and at attack angles of -4˚≤α≤10˚....

Article history: Received: 19.06.2014. Received in revised form: 06.11.2014. Accepted: 11.11.2014. According to the galloping mechanism of iced conductors, the aerodynamic simulations were performed based on actual wind tunnel tests. Aeroelastic models of single and bundled conductors with a typical ice-coating section forms (crescent section) were set up. The simulation results were in good ag...

Synchronous wind-induced pressures, measured in wind-tunnel tests on model buildings instrumented with hundreds of pressure taps, are an invaluable resource for designing safe buildings efficiently. They enable a much more detailed, accurate representation of the forces and moments that drive engineering design than conventional tables and graphs do. However, the very large volumes of data that...

Viscous effect of wing in ground effect in wind tunnel test was investigated numerically. Ground settings in wind tunnel test were simulated by specifying different ground boundary conditions in CFD. It was revealed for fixed-ground based wind tunnel test that: boundary layer developed from the ground deforms effective ground surface and introduces a decreased effective ground clearance; a shar...

Contribution from USDA-ARS in cooperation with Kansas Agric. Exp. Sta., Contribution No. 99-389-A. ABSTRACT Assessment of wind erosion parameters applicable to the field scale using wind tunnels requires attention to both scal...

The acrosswind response of isolated reinfe~c~d concrete chimneys of circular cross-section is studied using wind tunnel tests, full-scale measureme,~ts and response predictions based on semi-empirical methods. Three chimneys with available full-scale response observations were selected for this study to compare their measured and predicted responses. The wind tunnel experiments involved measure...

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 ...

A model of a streamline bomb with fixed cruciform fins has been tested in the R.A.E. 8 ft x 6 ft tunnel, to examine possible reasons for the discrepancy between the rolling moments derived from free flight tests and results obtained from previous wind tunnel tests. A range of Reynolds numbers was covered corresponding to the previous tunnel test and free flight values. The effect on rolling mom...

The benchmark active controls technology and wind tunnel test program at NASA Langley Research Center was started with the objective to investigate the nonlinear, unsteady aerodynamics and active flutter suppression of wings in transonic flow. The paper will present the flutter suppression control law design process, numerical nonlinear simulation and wind tunnel test results for the NACA 0012 ...

abstract wind erosion of soils and suspended particles in iran is one of the serious environmental and agricultural problems which affect agricultural lands, water reservoirs, irrigation canals, drains and etc. therefore wind erosion control needs attention specially in arid and semi-arid regions. although in recent years, some polymeric materials have been used for improvement of structural st...
