Abstract:

Wall parameters influence on transonic flow field is complicated due to various parameters of transonic wind tunnel test section walls. One key to improve transonic equipment calibration quality and efficiency is to acquire the effect mechanism of wall parameters of wind tunnel test section on flow field uniformity. Based on 2.4 m transonic wind tunnel multi flow field calibration experiments, wall configuration parameters effect on centerline flow uniformity of large transonic wind tunnel test section is summarized and investigated by Mach number distribution standard deviation. Research results show that the centerline flow uniformity is sensitive to porosity ratio of acceleration region, which should be distributed continuously along flow direction. The overexpansion flow should be avoided in acceleration region in order to minimize the wave strength. The ejector-slot is capable of reducing blockage interference over the entire operating range.

Key words: transonic wind tunnel, flow field calibration, centerline flow uniformity, wall parameters, standard deviation
