    摘要: The present invention belongs to the field of ship engineering, and provides a ship real wind measuring device calibration method. In this method a ship sway simulator is build using a 2-axis ganged platform, natural wind is simulating generated using a wind tunnel flow field. Then the ship sway simulator is controlled to simulate the ship spatial motion under the disturbance of stormy waves. Furthermore, the data of the wind speed and direction is obtained under different sway angles and speeds. So that the database of wind direction and speed measurement, attitude measurement, actual wind direction and speed measurement is formed. Subsequently, a calibration model based on BP neural network is constructed using this database, a ship real wind direction and speed calibration algorithm is formed, which can calibrate a ship real wind measuring device.

    摘要: A flight test system for a flapping-wing aerial vehicle includes a host computer platform, a measurement mechanism, and a wind tunnel. The measurement mechanism is configured to mount a to-be-tested flapping-wing aerial vehicle prototype. The measurement mechanism includes an Euler angle controller, a flow angle controller, and a tripod. The flow angle controller is mounted on the tripod. The Euler angle controller is in transmission connection with the flow angle controller. The flapping-wing aerial vehicle prototype is detachably connected to the Euler angle controller by using a first connecting member. The host computer platform is in communication connection with the measurement mechanism and the wind tunnel, and is configured to control a wind speed of the wind tunnel and display a flight status of the flapping-wing aerial vehicle prototype in real time during test.

    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.
