den Boer, R.G. (author)
A new postprocessing procedure is applied on the data, acquired in 1981 during the unsteady transonic pressure measurements on a transport-type supercritical wing (LANN-model), oscillating in pitch. The new procedure takes the influence into account of the local boundary layer on the dynamic response of the pressure tubes. This report presents...

A three-component internal strain-gauge balance for use in a cryogenic wind tunnel has been developed by NLR. With this balance model tests were performed in the NASA 0.3-m Transonic Cryogenic Tunnel. The results are discussed with a view to the development of strain-gauge balances for the ETW.

A supercritical airfoil with a trailing edge flap has been the subject of aerodynamic investigation in the National Aeronautical Establishment's High Reynolds Number 2-D Test Facility. The effects of flap deflection on buffet intensities and delay of buffet onset at transonic speeds were studied. Buffet boundaries for various flap angles were...

Measurements on a simple aircraft model in both an appropriately sized and a relatively large, low-speed, solid-wall test section were used to analyse the accuracy and consistency of measured-boundary-condition (MBC) methods. For completeness, the classical method of images, with two different correction procedures, was also analysed. For the...

An experimental investigation was carried out in the low speed wind tunnel LST to study aircraft engine noise generation by rotor/stator interaction. Reported is a follow-up experiment including detailed acoustic measurements in the duct downstream of a rotor with cylindrical pins to complement earlier tests whereby rotor wake velocities and...

As part of the joint International Vortex Flow Experiment, force and pressure measurements have been carried out on a 65 deg delta wing configuration in the transonic and supersonic wind tunnels of NLR. Out of these data three test cases were selected by the organizing committee of the GAMM WORKSHOP on the "Numerical Simulation of Compressible...

A description is given of the two-dimensional test setup in the pressurized wind tunnel HST of the NLR, for the testing of multiple airfoils at high Reynolds numbers. Results of the first tests with this setup are validated. For this validation a number of additional tests were performed in the HST as well as in the atmospheric wind tunnel HST 3...

A description will be presented of a computer program system that is being used for the prediction of aircraft steady aerodynamic characteristics. Properties of the system are described from two different viewpoints. One is that of the aerodynamic designer, who needs an information system to predict lift, moment and drag characteristics and to...

A wind tunnel test procedure is described to determine from the thrust minus drag measurements the aircraft drag and engine/airframe interference drag at cruise conditions. The definitions of the thrust and drag terms in use are given. Engine thrust simulation is provided by a calibrated Turbofan Powered Simulator (TPS). Further the use of a...

A "measured-boundary-condition" method for determining 2D wall interference has been developed. It applies measured "wall" pressure distributions and a model representation to determine the 2D interference flow field associated with the presence of the test section walls. Special attention has been paid to the model representation. The...

An experimental investigation was carried out concerning the effect of jet heating and external flow on the mean flow properties of a subsonic jet. A 60 mm diameter jet was tested in a wind tunnel at wind speeds of 0 and 60 m/s. Jet mach numbers varied between O.44 and 0.94 and jet total temperatures were 310 and 86O K. Velocity and temperature...

The calculation method presented by Ting, Liu and Kleinstein in reference 3 has been subjected to an evaluation study, principally on the basis of experimental data obtained from special experiments on a half wing immersed in two jets. Very satisfactory results were found for the unflapped wing lying centrally within the jets. Both flap...

Based on comparison with results from special experiments, an evaluation has been performed of the method of Levinsky, Thommen, Yager and Holland, which is intended to calcxilate the spanwise lift distribution on wings immersed in propulsive jets. Various modifications of the original method have been investigated. It was found that the method,...

An experiment is described on a wing flap configuration, which was so designed that nowhere flow separations occur, apart from a small laminar separation bubble on the wing nose. The measurements comprise surface-pressure measurements, boundary layer and wake traverses, and surface-flow visualizations. Three angles of attack have been applied...

An experiment is described in which a nominal normal shock impinges on a turbulent flat plate boundary layer. The wall pressure distribution in the interaction region was measured for Mach numbers in front of the shock of 1.40, 1.44 and 1.46. The Reynolds number based on shock position was 18 X 10(6) and based on momentum thickness at the start...

Exploratory wind-tunnel experiments in high-subsonic and transonic flow on a conventional airfoil with oscillating flap and a supercritical airfoil oscillating in pitch are described. In the analysis of the experimental results, emphasis is placed upon the typical aspects of transonic flow, namely the interaction between the steady and unsteady...

This report describes a wind-tunnel investigation on the interference between a jet and a wing half model, located outside the jet. Pressure distributions on the wing, and lift coefficients calculated from those have been used for evaluation of a method developed at NLR for the prediction of interference effects between jets and parts of...
