Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of wind tunnel tests, and particularly relates to a method and device for measuring the sideslip angle of a wind tunnel test model. Background Art
[0002] Wind tunnel tests are one of the important means to obtain the aerodynamic characteristics of aircraft and support the development of the aerospace field. When conducting wind tunnel tests, the measurement of the model angle is extremely important and determines the quality of the test results. The sideslip angle is a key parameter describing the lateral offset angle of the model relative to the oncoming flow direction, and its accurate measurement is of great significance for studying the lateral aerodynamic characteristics, flight stability, and control of aircraft. However, in the model preparation stage before wind tunnel tests, unlike the angle of attack and roll angle that can be directly measured using an angle gauge, there is a problem that the sideslip angle cannot be effectively measured. The accuracy of the sideslip angle depends on the precision of model processing, installation, and the angle of attack mechanism itself. During this process, the test model installers cannot confirm the sideslip angle to ensure the accuracy of installation. In particular, in multi-body separation tests, multiple separated bodies are respectively installed on different mechanisms or devices, and some devices are even added temporarily and do not have the ability to change the sideslip angle. How to confirm whether the sideslip angles between multiple mechanisms or devices match poses a practical requirement for the sideslip measurement method and device.
