High-Resolution Instrumentation for In-Flight Diagnostics of Unsteady Wing Boundary Layer: Investigations of Separation and Active Flow Control Including Structural Wing Motion
Abstract
Funds are requested for scientific instrumentation for in-flight measurements of boundary-layerseparation and its control for Air Force relevant wing geometries. The instrumentation consists ofan onboard data acquisition system that integrates the time- and space-dependent data from flushmounted shear stress and pressure sensors, and an infrared high-resolution camera. The novel combination of these three measurement techniques results in a robust system that will enable unprecedented free-flight measurements of unsteady boundary-layer separation from aircraft wings that undergo structural motion.
