Abstract:

The physical simulation of aerodynamic heating on outside surfaces of cabin skins is an important basis of cabin thermal process tests. Parallel efflux theory has been used so that a new method of physical simulation of aerodynamic heating has been developed. It is economical and can meet the needs of cabin dynamic thermal characteristic simulation. A method using mathematical simulation to control the cabin thermal characteristic test has been worked out. These methods have been used in the actual airplane cabin thermal process and heat load tests successfully.

Key words: cabins, aerodynamic heating, thermal char act erist ic, heat load, physical simulation, test
