Experimental Values

Calvert has considered alternative methods of estimating the blockage corrections for blunt-based bodies of revolution in closed wind tunnels at low Mach numbers. His models were all of maximum diameter 152 mm, with an ellipsoidal nose section 203 mm long followed by a cylindrical afterbody. The ratio of overall length L to maximum diameter d varied from about 1.5 to 5.5. For each model the base pressure was measured in wind tunnels of two different sizes, so that the blockage correction factor e for the smaller tunnel could be derived for each model from the experimental results. These experimental values of e were compared with alternative theoretical estimates, using the methods given by Evans, Maskell and Pank-hurst and Holder.

Two Bodies

The irrotational flow past two slender bodies of revolution at angles of yaw, translating in parallel paths in very close proximity, is analysed by extending the classical slender body theory. The flow far away from the two bodies is shown to be a direct problem, which is represented in terms of two line sources along their longitudinal axes, at the strengths of the variation rates of their cross-section areas. The inner flow near the two bodies is reduced to the plane flow problem of the expanding (contracting) and lateral translations of two parallel circular cylinders with different radii, which is then solved analytically using conformal mapping. Consequently, an analytical flow solution has been obtained for two arbitrary slender bodies of revolution at angles of yaw translating in close proximity. The lateral forces and yaw moments acting on the two bodies are obtained in terms of integrals along the body lengths. A comparison is made among the present model for two slender bodies in close proximity, Tuck & Newman's (1974) model for two slender bodies far apart, and VSAERO (AMI)–commercial software based on potential flow theory and the boundary element method (BEM). The attraction force of the present model agrees well with the BEM result, when the clearance, h0, is within 20% of the body length, whereas the attraction force of Tuck & Newman is much smaller than the BEM result when h0 is within 30% of the body length, but approaches the latter when h0 is about half the body length. Numerical simulations are performed for the three typical manoeuvres of two bodies: (i) a body passing a stationary body, (ii) two bodies in a meeting manoeuvre (translating in opposite directions), and (iii) two bodies in a passing manoeuvre (translating in the same direction). The analysis reveals the orders of the lateral forces and yaw moments, as well as their variation trends in terms of the manoeuvre type, velocities, sizes, angles of yaw of the two bodies, and their proximity, etc. These irrotational dynamic features are expected to provide a basic understanding of this problem and will be beneficial to further numerical and experimental studies involving additional physical effects.

The shock-induced separation easily occurred on the upper surface of supercritical airfoil at transonic speeds, which would change the aerodynamic characteristics. The problem of the shock-induced separation was not solved completely for the complicated phenomena and flow mechanism. In this paper, the influencing factors of shock-induced separation for supercritical airfoil CH was analyzed at transonic speeds. The Navier-Stokes equations were solved, in order to investigate influence of different attack angles, Mach numbers and Reynolds numbers. The computation attack angles of CH airfoil varied from 0oto 7o, Reynolds numbers varied from 5×106to 50×106per airfoil chord while Mach number varied from 0.74 to 0.82. It was shown that the shock-induced separation was affected by attack angles, Mach numbers and Reynolds numbers, but the influence tendency and areas were quite different. The shock wave location and intensity were affected by the three factors, and the boundary layer thickness was mainly affected by Reynolds number, while the separation structure was mainly determined by the attack angle and Mach number.
