The necessary seeding was achieved by injecting a mixture of gaseous nitrogen and water vapor into the dry and cold tunnel flow which then immediately formed a large amount of small ice crystals. As operational and access conditions are quite restrictive with respect to other facilities, DGV is currently considered the best choice for the non-intrusive measurement of flow fields. A comparison of DGV to the more wide-spread particle image velocimetry technique (PIV) is also given.","PeriodicalId":166420,"journal":{"name":"20th International Congress on Instrumentation in Aerospace Simulation Facilities, 2003.

Average values and root-mean-square (RMS) deviations are determined. Mean temperature measurements in a furnace containing air between 300 and 1800 K agreed with thermocouple measurements within 26 K on average, while mean mole fractions agree to within 1.6% of the expected value. The temperature measurement standard deviation averaged 64 K while the standard deviation of the species mole fractions averaged 7.8% for O/sub 2/ and 3.8% for N/sub 2/, based on 200 single-shot measurements. Measurements have been performed in a hydrogen-air flat-flame burner for fuel-lean and fuel-rich conditions. A preliminary comparison is shown between the fitted data and an adiabatic, equilibrium computation. For fuel-lean conditions, good agreement was found for temperature. Temperatures measured under fuel-rich conditions were about 50 K higher than the computation. Mole-fractions for N/sub 2/ agreed with the computation to within 3%. Measured O/sub 2/ mole fractions were systematically high while measured H/sub 2/ mole fractions were systematically low by 10-15% compared to the computation. For an equivalence ratio of 2.8, the standard deviation of 58 single-shot temperature measurements was 108 K, or 5.8%, and the standard deviations of H/sub 2/ and N/sub 2/ mole fractions were 9.8% and 3.8% of the measured values, respectively.","PeriodicalId":166420,"journal":{"name":"20th International Congress on Instrumentation in Aerospace Simulation Facilities, 2003.

These tests are important for the understanding of the leading edge vortex behaviour which is responsible for enhanced lift forces and CFD validation. The investigation used a stereo PIV arrangement, with both cameras in forward-scatter mode. For high-quality stereo PIV measurements of the flow around such models under transonic conditions, many details had to be optimised, especially as the light sheets were positioned in the cross-plane to the freestream over the model. Parameters like light sheet thickness and displacement with a certain overlap had to be considered carefully. It was also necessary to observe the optical system by means of additional cameras, as the starting and stopping of the tunnel affected the light sheet. Fortunately, readjustment of its position whilst the wind tunnel was running could be done by remote control and optical tools outside the tunnel. This had to be done in connection with a special layout for the trigger sequence, as lengths of wires or optical fibres for the transmission of TTL pulses became relevant for delays in the order of microseconds. It was expected that strong centrifugal and axial accelerations would be present and tiny particles had to be used for seeding. It could be established that the vortex structure is dependent strongly on the direction of change of the roll angle. A very impressive phenomenon was the so-called busting of vortices, which was accompanied by rapidly-changing pressure distributions.","PeriodicalId":166420,"journal":{"name":"20th International Congress on Instrumentation in Aerospace Simulation Facilities, 2003.

Feasibility, limitations and most attractive embodiments of the technique as applying primarily to high-temperature flows using commercially available visible and near-infrared CCD sensors are considered. Error analysis of the measurement system has been carried out using numerically simulated images for preferred embodiments. Numerical simulation experiments carried out verify feasibility and estimated features of proposed technique. This technique seems to be quite attractive alternative to more sophisticated technologies for a number of particular applications most of all due to much less expensive implementation and simple calibration providing acceptable accuracy with sub-pixel spatial resolution.

The measurements are compared to a finite-volume computation and a first-order boundary layer computation, assuming local similarity. Both computations produced similar temperature distributions and nearly identical velocity distributions. The disagreement between calculations is ascribed to the similarity solution not accounting for leading-edge displacement effects. The velocity measurements agreed to within the measurement uncertainty of 2% with both calculated distributions. The peak measured temperature was 200 K lower than the computed values. This discrepancy is tentatively ascribed to vibrational relaxation in the boundary layer.","PeriodicalId":166420,"journal":{"name":"20th International Congress on Instrumentation in Aerospace Simulation Facilities, 2003.

Continuing efforts focus on the development of seamless data translation methods to enable integration of data sets of disparate file format in a common platform. Results from a successful low-speed wind tunnel test at WPAFB in which global surface pressure distributions were acquired simultaneously with model deformation and geometry measurements are discussed and comparatively evaluated with numerical simulations.
