[精品]31 - Similarity in Wind Tunnel Testing-Prof. David Darmofal.pdfVIP

Similarity in Wind Tunnel Testing In terms of non-dimensional force and moment coefficients, these depend on numerous non-dimensional input parameters. CL CL (M ∞, Re,α,) CD CD (M ∞, Re,α,) In many aerodynamic applications, CL CL (M ∞, Re,α) CD CD (M ∞, Re,α) So, to match flight condition CL CD in an experiment, we should match flight M ∞, Re, and α. ∗ Matching α is relatively easy ∗ How about simultaneous M ∞ Re matching?
