The One

The static pressure p on the subsonic Wind Tunnel of the Aerodynamic Testing Laboratory of the Institute of Aeronautics and Space – IAE, Aerospace Technical Center – CTA, is measured using an absolute pressure sensor, located on the upper test section wall. This measurement is not taken at the same location as the one where the model is mounted during the actual wind tunnel test. This fact raises the need for a correction during data reduction. The identification and evaluation of the associated error source is important because the static pressure is an input quantity for the calculation of the total pressure pt, Mach number M and density ρ during the test. The present paper is concerned with the determination of the relationship between the static pressure measured on the tunnel’s upper wall and that at the model location, and with the analysis of the uncertainty propagation for the measured flow parameters.

Processing Requirement

Data post-processing plays important roles in a wind tunnel test, especially in supporting the validation of the test results and further data analysis related to the design activities of the test objects. One effective solution to carry out the data post-processing in an automated productive manner, and thus eliminate the cumbersome conventional manual way, is building a software which is able to execute calculations and have abilities in presenting and analyzing the data in accordance with the post-processing requirement. Through several prototype development cycles, this work attempts to engineer and realize such software to enhance the overall wind tunnel test activities.

Experimental wind tunnel test results are affected by acquisition times because extreme pressure peak statistics depend on the length of acquisition records. This is also true for dynamic tests on aeroelastic models where the structural response of the scale model is affected by aerodynamic damping and by random vortex shedding. This paper investigates the acquisition time dependence of linear transformation through singular value decomposition (SVD) and its correlation with floor accelerometric signals acquired during wind tunnel aeroelastic testing of a scale model high-rise building. Particular attention was given to the variability of eigenvectors, singular values and the correlation coefficient for two wind angles and thirteen different wind velocities. The cumulative distribution function of empirical magnitudes was fitted with numerical cumulative density function (CDF). Kolmogorov–Smirnov test results are also discussed.
