The special operational features of these facilities put somewhat different requirements on the instrumentation compared to usual supersonic or hypersonic blow down tunnels. The short running times of the order of some milliseconds require sensors with a very fast response and rise time. To avoid time lags by tubings, usually the sensors are installed flush into the model wall or a very short distance behind it. This implies that they have to withstand the impact of small particles of high energy, which are transported by the flow. This is the most important reason why for heat flux measurement at severe flow conditions very robust coaxial thermocouples are used. To allow also for a pressure measurement almost at the same location a pressure tap is drilled through the thermocouple. From the measurement of the stagnation point heat flux and the Pitot pressure some information can be found about the free stream. More detailed free stream measurements are possible with a mass flux gauge an a static pressure probe. Due to their complexity the development of these gauges require intensive testing and the support of numerical calculations. The same holds for the development of a force balance which meets the requirement of a shock tunnel application.","PeriodicalId":339620,"journal":{"name":"ICIASF '95 Record.

The pressure paint consists of a fluorescent molecule which is mixed with a binder than painted on the surface of interest. The laser is scanned across the model surface which excites the fluorescent molecule. The intensity with which the molecule emits light is dependent on the amount of oxygen quenching and therefore the local air pressure. The system can be calibrated in two ways. The first would be to take an intensity reading with the known pressure and then take a reading at the condition of interest. The Stern-Volmer relationship of intensities is used to calculate the pressure. A second way is to measure the decay time of the emitted intensity and calibrate that versus pressure. The purpose of the experiment is to get a complete surface map of the pressure on the rotating blade.","PeriodicalId":339620,"journal":{"name":"ICIASF '95 Record.

The technique is based on the propensity of dissolved molecular oxygen to quench probe molecule fluorescence excited with a pulsed nitrogen laser. Linear calibration curves based on Stern-Volmer kinetics are generated through measurement of the time-resolved fluorescence signal produced by pyrene doped into aviation fuel at parts per million (ppm) levels. The advantages of nondestructive in-situ monitoring, reduced measurement time, and enhanced capabilities (including spatially resolved and rapidly time-varying measurements) make this optical technique a very attractive complement to current chromatographic and electrochemical methods. Application to flowing-fuel simulators demonstrates the technique.","PeriodicalId":339620,"journal":{"name":"ICIASF '95 Record.

Also required is the characterization of local test article flowfields. Laser fluorescence diagnostics have been developed and demonstrated in the H2 Arc Heater and the Impulse Shock Tunnel. Many of the complexities and risks of applying diagnostics in high-temperature gas flows and in full-scale ground test facilities have been mitigated through laboratory testing prior to facility demonstration.

A method by which sine wave testing can be implemented on a commercial CTA by using mutual induction is introduced. A frequency response determined with the technique is used to demonstrate that the square wave test gives a misleading indication of anemometer bandwidth unless interpreted carefully. The use of the discrete fast Fourier transform to deconvolute the pulse response and square wave is demonstrated. The transfer functions for a CTA's response to the tests and to variations in heat transfer are determined analytically. The system bandwidth, optimal balance settings and substrate thermal product are derived by a combination of the electronic tests and the model.","PeriodicalId":339620,"journal":{"name":"ICIASF '95 Record.

The rig, which is able to be operated with either cold or hot core flow, provides the means of assessing the performance of single or twin stream nozzle configurations in terms of nozzle discharge and thrust characteristics. Models of jet engine nozzles at typically 1/7 to 1/10 scale can be tested in both forward and reverse thrust modes with mass flows of up to 12 Kg/s (26 lb/s) (Fan) and 5 Kg/s (11 lb/s) (Core) and with core temperatures of up to 600/spl deg/C (1100/spl deg/F). The LSTMR provides the Aircraft Research Association with a test facility that is unique in Europe and which is capable of producing the high quality test results required by the various customers. As such it enhances ARA's capabilities for discharge and thrust measuring facilities by supplementing the two existing Mach Simulation Tanks (MSTI and 2) which are also used for nozzle calibrations. The paper highlights the main features of the rig and discusses in detail the various control and measurement systems that are necessary to provide consistent high quality data.","PeriodicalId":339620,"journal":{"name":"ICIASF '95 Record.

The calibration relationships, including the effect of compressibility, are reformulated in terms of variables containing physical quantities at the wall and including the probe size in only one parameter. In view of the current trend toward miniaturization, special attention was given to the range where the flow disturbance introduced by the probe remains within the near-linear part of the velocity profile. Criteria are derived for the smallest probe protrusion which provides a practically measurable differential pressure at given flow situation.
