F/A-18E/F Nacelle Simulator Input/Output Boundary Condition Flows

Abstract

These tests were conducted to determine the distribution of airflows, without fire, across the boundary of the fire test nacelle. As a check on the overall accuracy of these flow measurements, a mass balance was performed as well. These data provide the boundary conditions for the Computational Fluid Dynamics models of this nacelle simulator. The proportional distribution of air effluxes remained nearly constant throughout the range of inlet flows and, therefore, the actual mass flows are nearly proportional to the total inflow.
