    摘要: A parameter similarity method for test simulation conditions of an aerodynamic heating environment is disclosed. With respect to the requirement that the adiabatic wall enthalpy and the cold-wall heat flux are equal in the simulation test of the aerodynamic heating environment, a method that can ensure the similarity of ground test parameters and flight parameters without the equal adiabatic wall enthalpy is proposed, and solves the problems of relying on the equal adiabatic wall enthalpy and making it difficult to accurately simulate the real aerodynamic heating environment in the current test simulation method, and provides guarantee for heat transfer and ablation test research of thermal protection/insulation material under the high temperature aerodynamic heating environment. The test conditions are not affected by the value of the adiabatic wall enthalpy. According to the method, most test devices can simulate the aerodynamic heating environment with high enthalpy.

    摘要: The invention provides a large-amplitude vertical-torsional coupled free vibration device, which belongs to the technical field of vertical-torsional coupled free vibration device for wind tunnel test. The gear blocks are consolidated at both ends of the beam. The screws, beam, and the gear blocks are fixed on the model, and they can fulfil the vertical-torsional coupled free vibration. The toothed plate is attached to the sliding block that iteratively moving along the vertical guide rail which is fixed to the ground. The vertical springs attached to the sliding blocks provide both vertical and torsional linear stiffness for the suspension vibration system. The springs only have vertical linear tensile deformations without any lateral tilt, which ensures the linear vertical and torsional stiffness of the model, and the lateral freedom is effectively restrained. This device can achieve the large-amplitude vertical-torsional coupled free vibration of the model, and the deficiency of the traditional device where springs are apparently tilted and the inefficacy of linear stiffness can be avoided. The lateral vibration is restrained, and it is applicable to large-amplitude vertical-torsional coupled free vibrations.

    摘要: A system reproduces aerodynamic boundary layer transition conditions in a wind tunnel test environment under ambient to cryogenic temperature conditions. The system includes a test component disposed in the test environment that defines an exterior surface. A trip dot is mounted on the test component and has a first state, in which a distal surface of the trip dot is at a first elevation relative to the exterior surface of the test component, and a second state, in which the distal surface of the trip dot is at a second elevation relative to the exterior surface of the test component. An actuator is operably coupled to the trip dot and configured to transition the trip dot between first and second states. A controller remotely causes the actuator to transition the trip dot between the first and second states.

    摘要: Mobile tunnels may be provided on trailers or in association with one or more other vehicles. A mobile tunnel may be towed or otherwise accelerated to a sufficient velocity, thereby causing a fluid such as air or seawater to travel above, below and around the tunnel. The fluid may be diverted into the tunnel and caused to pass over a test object such as an unmanned aerial vehicle or unmanned undersea vehicle within the tunnel, thereby enabling aerodynamic testing or hydrodynamic testing of the test object to be performed. Additionally, one or more materials may be injected into the fluid, thereby enabling destructive testing of the test object to be performed.
