Results of Calibration Tests Conducted in the AFFDL 2 Foot Electrogasdynamic Facility
Abstract
Calibration tests have been conducted in the Two Foot Electrogasdynamic Facility (2 Ft EGF) to determine test section core silo and flow parameters. Results contained in this report cover a 5 year period and consist of data obtained using the 7.19 and 19.36 inch exit diameter conical nozzles. Measured test section parameters are local lane flux, impact pressure and heat flux, with local freestream velocities and densities and stagnation enthalpies being calculated. Results shown indicate fluctuations in measured parameters and the necessity for further developmental work to enhance the usefulness of the facility as an aerodynamic research tool. Calibration runs are necessary at each required operating condition for any test program in the facility and must be conducted in conjunction with the test program. Parameters presented in this report are useful for obtaining an estimate of flow conditions expected for future test planning.
