THE DESIGN OF MAGNETIC MODELS FOR USE IN A MAGNETIC SUSPENSION AND BALANCE SYSTEM FOR WIND TUNNELS,

Abstract

The report discusses the design of the magnetic portion or core of a model for use in a magnetic suspension system for wind tunnels. The calculation of the forces obtainable with a given suspension system and model, and the optimization of model core geometry and material are discussed. An example of the design of a model core is presented. (Author)
