Cryogenic Test Technology 1984.

Abstract

This report is intended to review the status of cryogenic test technology based on information which has become available since the report of the Conveners' Group which was completed in 1981. The major events since the Conveners' report have been the completion and commissioning of the National Transonic Facility, the suspension of further work on the Douglas 4-CWT blowdown tunnel, the conversion of ONERA T2 for cryogenic operation, the steady progress with the DRVLR KKK, and the slow but positive progress with the ETW project, including installation of the pilot tunnel PETW. In addition there has been a recent AGARD Fluid Dynamics Panel Symposium on Wind Tunnels and Testing Techniques at Cesme, Turkey which produced several new papers of interest. Also, a meeting of specialists on cryogenic wind tunnel strain gauge balance technology was arranged by ETW in conjunction with ONERA at the Modane Test Centre. Additional keywords: NATO furnished; Materials; Instrumentation; Flow visualization; and Laser velocimetry.
