| Title of the Aerospace Test |
High Speed Base Flow Wind Tunnel |
|
| Name of the Organisation |
CSIR |
|
| Name of theLab |
National Aerospace Laboratories - NAL |
|
| Place of the Lab |
Bangalore |
|
| Category of Aerospace Test | Wind Tunnel Testing | |
| Sub-category of Aerospace Test | NA | |
| Year of Establisment | 1991 | |
| Test Applications | Steady and Unsteady force & moment measurements Steady and Unsteady pressure measurements Flow visualization - Surface oil flow, Schlieren Flow diagnostic tests Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), Background Oriented Schlieren (BOS) |
|
| Test Special Features | Fairly well developed zero pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer characteristics on the after body. Typical test duration(40s) Stagnation pressure (10 to 150psi) Jet total pressure(0-150psi) |
|
| Other Test Information | Pressure measurements : ESP pressure scanners, pressure, Transducers Force & Moment measurement : Strain gauge balances The models are supported directly on the nozzle inner body, and therefore the support system interference is completely eliminated, metric and non- metric after concept for force measurement using strain gauge balance.
