Tunnel Testing

The advanced precision of drag coefficient is 0.0001 for the high speed wind tunnel test of measuring forces, the model’s angle of attack precision is ≤0.01°following errors distribution. A videogrammetric method of model’s attitude is therefore proposed, its uncertainty is investigated, and a compensation method of its systematic error is also presented by this paper. The three engineering videogrammetric experiments of attack angle in 2 meter supersonic wind tunnel testing have demonstrated that measuring standard deviation of videogrammetric measurement system established by this paper is ≤0.0094°, in addition it neither destroys the model’s shape, nor changes the stiffness or strength, so it is useful and effective.
