  • It would encounter some complicated flow fields, such as transition, separation, reattachment and disturbances, in the hypersonic flight. Thus, it is difficult to theoretically analyze the hypersonic aerothermodynamics effects, so that the ground-test simulation is thought of as one of the most important methods to improve the understanding level of the hypersonic aerothermodynamics. However, the aero-heating tests could not simulate all aerodynamics and geometry parameters in the real flight due to the differences between the experimental environments supplied by the ground facilities and the flight, so that the feasible technique for the ground-test simulation of the hypersonic aerothermodynamics effects is required to be advanced. The key parameters that are especially required to simulate for aero-heating tests are analyzed and one detailed approach is suggested to perform the experimental investigation on the hypersonic aero-heating effects in the ground facilities in this paper, and the tests are performed in the FD-20 gun tunnel of CAAA (China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics) to give out the data which could be used to confirm the equation from the theoretical analysis.

  • The handicap for investigating the aero-optical effect focuses on the accurate prediction on the index refraction fluctuation or density fluctuation. In recent years, with the development of CFD techniques and optical experimental techniques, the comprehension have developed on the aero-optical transmitting effect in many kinds of complex flow. This study mainly introduces the optical aberration in compressible mixing layer. And then the debates about the mechanism of aero-optical effects and assessment of image blur also present.

  • The starting processes of the Ludwieg tube hypersonic quiet tunnel plays very important role in the achievement of the quiet flow in the test section, which could affect the confidence coefficient of the data in the hypersonic transition experimental investigations. Thus, numerical analysis on that processes could help to understanding the running mode of the Ludwieg tube quiet tunnel and the propagation principle of the expansion wave series. To verify our computational method, the same parameter of the BAM6QT (the Boeing/AFOSR Mach-6 quiet tunnel at Purdue University) is used to compute, and it is agrees with our computational results.

  • The presented paper gives an overview of several projects addressing the experimental characterization and control of the buffet phenomenon on 3D turbulent wings in transonic flow conditions. This aerodynamic instability induces strong wall pressure fluctuations and therefore limits flight domain. Consequently, to enlarge the latter but also to provide more flexibility during the design phase, it is interesting to try to delay the buffet onset. This paper summarizes the main investigations leading to the achievement of open and closed-loop buffet control and its experimental demonstration. Several wind tunnel tests campaigns, performed on a 3D half wing/fuselage body, enabled to characterize the buffet aerodynamic instability and to study the efficiency of innovative fluidic control devices designed and manufactured by ONERA. The analysis of the open-loop databases demonstrated the effects on the usual buffet characteristics, especially on the shock location and the separation areas on the wing suction side. Using these results, a closed-loop control methodology based on a quasi-steady approach was defined and several architectures were tested for various parameters such as the input signal, the objective function, the tuning of the feedback gain. All closed-loop methods were implemented on a dSPACE device able to estimate in real time the fluidic actuators command calculated mainly from the unsteady pressure sensors data. The efficiency of delaying the buffet onset or limiting its effects was demonstrated using the quasi-steady closed-loop approach and tested in both research and industrial wind tunnel environments.

  • A new ground transportation system is often simulated by the wing in ground effect(WIG). Recently, several kinds of experimental and computational studies are being carried out to investigate the WIG aerodynamic characteristics which are of practical importance to develop the new ground transportation vehicle system. These works are mainly based on conventional wind tunnel tests, but many problems associated with the WIG aerodynamic characteristics can not be satisfactorily resolved. In order to develop the new ground transportation vehicle system the WIG should be further investigated. To do this, it is necessary to develop a s imulator appropriate to the WIG aerodynamics. The objective of the present study is to clarify the aerodynamic characteristics of the WIG and to develop a new experimental test rig for the investigation of the WIG aerodynamics. Some preliminary experiments are performed to investigate the usefulness of the WIG simulator.

  • In coastal residential communities, especially along the coastline, flooding is a frequent natural hazard that impacts the area. To reduce the adverse effects of flooding, it is recommended to elevate coastal buildings to a certain safe level. However, post storm damage assessment has revealed severe damages sustained by elevated buildings' components such as roofs, walls, and floors. By elevating a structure and creating air gap underneath the floor, the wind velocity increases and the aerodynamics change. This results in varying wind loading and pressure distribution that are different from their slab on grade counterparts. To fill the current knowledge gap, a large-scale aerodynamic wind testing was conducted at the Wall of Wind experimental facility to evaluate the wind pressure distribution over the surfaces of a low-rise gable roof single-story elevated house. The study considered three different stilt heights. This paper presents the observed changes in local and area averaged peak pressure coefficients for the building surfaces of the studied cases. The aerodynamics of the elevated structures are explained. Comparisons are done with ASCE 7-16 and AS/NZS 1170.2 wind loading standards. For the floor surface, the study suggests a wind pressure zoning and pressure coefficients for each stilt height.

  • The fairing of the launch vehicles has a role of protecting the spacecraft from outer thermal, acoustical, and mechanical loads during flight. Among them, the thermal load is analyzed in the present study. The ascent thermal analyses include aerodynamic heating rate on every point of the fairing, heat transfer through the fairing and spacecraft, and the final temperature during ascent flight phase. A design code based on theoretical/experimental database is applied to calculate the aerodynamic heating rate, and a thermal math program, SINDA/Fluint, is considered for conductive heat transfer of the fairing. The results show that the present design satisfies the allowing temperature of the structure. Another important thermal problem, pyro explosive fairing separation device, is calculated because the pyro system is very sensitive to the temperature. The results also satisfies the pyro thermal condition.

  • Numerical simulations are made to predict the axial force coefficients of a two-stage launch vehicle, and the results are compared with those by wind tunnel tests. It is found that the forebody axial force is not affected by whether the base of the body is modeled or not. Modeling the sting support used in wind tunnel tests reduced the base axial force compared to the results without it. The present calculation shows that the forebody axial forces are underestimated while the base axial forces are overestimated. The total axial force, therefore, compares with the experimental data with better accuracy by cancelling out the errors of opposite signs. Modeling of the sting support in numerical simulations is found to be necessary to get a better agreement with the experiments for both base and overall axial force coefficients.
