Development of a Quiet Supersonic Wind Tunnel with a Cryogenic Adaptive Nozzle
Author: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781723026348
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
The main objectives of this work is to demonstrate the potential of a cryogenic adaptive nozzle to generate quiet (low disturbance) supersonic flow. A drive system was researched for the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory (FML) Laminar Flow Supersonic Wind Tunnel (LFSWT) using a pilot tunnel. A supportive effort for ongoing Proof of Concept (PoC) research leading to the design of critical components of the LFSWT was maintained. The state-of-the-art in quiet supersonic wind tunnel design was investigated. A supersonic research capability was developed within the FML. Wolf, Stephen D. Unspecified Center CRYOGENICS; DESIGN ANALYSIS; FLUID MECHANICS; NOZZLE DESIGN; STRUCTURAL DESIGN; SUPERSONIC WIND TUNNELS; TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT; FLOW VISUALIZATION; LAMINAR FLOW; STAGNATION PRESSURE; SUPERSONIC FLOW; WIND TUNNEL APPARATUS...

Diffuser Efficiency and Flow Process of Supersonic Wind Tunnels with Free Jet Test Section
Author: Rudolf Hermann
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Wind tunnels
Languages : en
Pages : 90
Book Description
In the wind tunnel arrangement under consideration, the air leaves the Laval nozzle as a free jet and is recaptured by the diffuser, which is of the convergent-divergent design. A theoretical analysis of the flow process through this type of supersonic wind tunnel is presented and the diffuser efficiency is calculated for the case of equilibrium between test chamber pressure and pressure in the nozzle exit, assuming one-dimensional, in viscous, steady flow. Using the basic equations of continuity, energy and momentum flux through a bounding surface, an exact solution of the problem is obtained, which is applicable up to Mach number infinite. One of the basic results is, that in the recapturing zone of the diffuser a transition occurs from supersonic to subsonic flow, which is followed by an acceleration in the convergent portion up to sonic velocity at the second throat. The transition is not a normal shock and involves a total pressure loss greater than that of a normal shock at the test section Mach number. A mathematical solution with supersonic velocity after the transition process has no physical existence. A comprehensive comparison of the analytical results with available experiments in supersonic wind tunnels up to Mach number 4.4 regarding diffuser efficiency and second throat area shows good agreement.

The Sonic Throat Method and Real Gas One-dimensional Flow
Author: Richard L. Humphrey
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Hypersonic wind tunnels
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
The one-dimensional flow equation for mass flow through the throat of a supersonic nozzle has been modified for use with real gas values of gamma and compressibility. Curve fits for gamma and Z and a simple iteration scheme have been developed for use with air and nitrogen over a temperature range of 300 to 6000 deg. K and a pressure of 10 to 100 atm. With this approach the sonic throat method can be used with the most recent gas tables to determine high temperature wind tunnel supply temperatures or enthalpies. (Author).
