DESIGN AND INSTRUMENTATION OF A WATER FLOW CHANNEL AND APPLICATION TO SOME AERODYNAMIC PROBLEMS,
Abstract
A water flow channel was built to complement an existing water tow channel for investigating, by analogy, certain problems of aerodynamic deceleration in the subsonic, transonic, and low super sonic regimes. After a brief summary of earlier work, the mathematical basis of the analogy is presented. Then, some significant design characteristics and construction features of the facility are described and details of the instrumentation are given. There follows an outline of the experimental and data reduction procedures illustrated by typical experimental results including some Schlieren and shadowgraph pictures and numerical results of simulated pressure distribution tests.
