Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wind tunnel testing technology. More specifically, this invention relates to a dual-support ventilation force measurement testing device and its application method for high-speed wind tunnels. Background Technology
[0002] In high-speed wind tunnel testing, ventilation force measurement is a crucial step in evaluating the performance of an aircraft's air intake and its impact on the overall aerodynamic characteristics. This test requires accurately subtracting internal flow resistance by measuring the model's outlet airflow parameters and simulating different flight conditions by adjusting throttling devices to obtain accurate intake effect corrections. Currently, ventilation force measurement generally employs tail strut support and blade support belly support. The biggest advantage of tail strut support is minimal support interference, resulting in more accurate aerodynamic test data compared to belly support. Its disadvantages are that the balance strut inevitably encroaches on the limited flow space inside the model, often leading to insufficient internal flow cross-sectional area and an inability to realistically simulate the aircraft's intake state; while blade support belly support introduces significant support interference and poses a risk of cross-contamination between the internal and external flow, severely affecting the accuracy and reliability of the test data.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a ventilation force measurement test device for high-speed wind tunnels that can ensure the integrity of the pipes inside the model while minimizing interference with the sensitive flow field near the model's air inlet, and accurately measure the correction amount of the air intake effect under different flow rates, thereby supporting the precise correction of the aerodynamic characteristics of the entire machine.
