Abstract:
In order to meet the requirement of the double-inlet test in the 4 m magnitude low speed wind tunnel, a test method of the double-inlet test in the 4 m × 3 m low speed wind tunnel of Low Speed Aerodynamic Institute of China Aerodynamics Research and Development Center was proposed. According to the method, a model is supported by one pole, and each inlet mass flow is simulated and controlled by an ejector with a digital pressure regulating valves system. In this method, the range of angle of attack is −10°–90°, the range of angle of sideslip is −45°–45°, the simulating maximum of the double-inlet mass flow is 2.9 and 1.4 kg/s. To validate the method, a double-inlet test was completed in the low speed wind tunnel. The test results show: the model is less affected by pipeline aerodynamics. The independent model and ejector support mechanism meets various model support requirements. Double inlets mass flow simulation and control are completely independent, which meets the requirement of studying interactions for double inlets.
