Test Special Features | Test Section: 0.6m X 0.6m Operation: Intermittent blow down Test duration:60 seconds for 0.6m tunnel Mach number range : 0.2 to 4.0 Off-line flexible nozzle for supersonic On-line flexible nozzle for supersonic Mach number tests in 0.6m tunnel Model incidence : -15 degrees to +27 degrees continuous and step modes Model roll: 0 degrees to 360 degrees Stagnation pressure: 1.5 to 8.0 bar Reynolds number: 8 x 106 to 60 x 106 per meter |
|
Other Test Information | The special feature of the facility avoids start-stop loads on the model, wherein the tunnel can be started at low supersonic Mach number 1.4 and the nozzle contour changed online to achieve higher supersonic Mach numbers up to 10 sec using VMFN. The tunnel has logged more than 5000 blow downs. The facility is backed by state of the art design tools Solid and surface modeling capability (CATIA/Solid Works/Auto CAD). C.A.E. solutions(COSMOS works/ HyperWorks). NC programming (Solid CAM) National Trisonic Aerodynamic Facilities - NTAF |
