Abstract:

Fine measurement for the compressible flow fluctuation mode and turbulence level in transonic wind tunnels is studied to satisfy the need of low turbulence flow tests for high speed aircraft. Based on the measurement of varying hot wire overheat ratio, we derive the functions of the general mode and three special modes including the vorticity mode, the entropy mode and the acoustic mode for transonic flow fluctuations. An experiment is then conducted based on this method, obtaining fluctuation diagrams of the general mode, the vorticity mode, and the acoustic mode, calculating a high accuracy turbulence level, adopting fluctuation diagram analysis in frequency domain to rationalize the flow mechanism at Ma 1.50, and building a measurement method for the fluctuation mode and the low turbulence level. When the Mach number varies from 0.20 to 1.50 in the new type continuous transonic wind tunnel, the turbulence level is around 0.037%-0.197%, with the nonlinear function fitness goodness of data around 0.943-0.995 and the Monte Carlo simulation uncertainty around 0.000 2%-0.004 1%. Results show the effectiveness of the measurement method for the fluctuation mode and low turbulence level, exhibiting practical value for flow field quality evaluation and optimization, and low turbulence test of high speed aircraft in high-performance transonic wind tunnels.
