The Impact of the Model Support Design on the Flow Field of Supersonic Wind Tunnels

Abstract:

For the most supersonic wind tunnel applications, the model is mounted on a support system in the test section. For test applications, like schlieren photography or drag force measurements, it is important that the influence of the model support on the measurements is as negligible as possible. To investigate the impact of the model support design on the measured data, four fundamental designs were investigated and combined by a full factorial design process. For this purpose, the force acting on the model plus the model support and the total pressure curves were investigated and analyzed. These results are presented in detail in this work.
