Aerodynamic design of 2.4 m continuous transonic wind tunnel
the continuous transonic wind tunnel has the advantages of wide operating range
high flow field quality and long running time
and is the most important type of transonic wind tunnel in the world. In recent years
the test demand of large continuous transonic wind tunnels for the aircraft development in China is growing rapidly
therefore
the AVIC Aerodynamics Research Institute (AVICARI) built the first continuous transonic wind tunnel of China
i.e. the 2.4 m continuous transonic wind tunnel. In order to obtain the best flow field quality and aerodynamic performance of the wind tunnel
AVICARI has developed a number of aerodynamic design techniques applicable to continuous transonic wind tunnels
including design methods for high-speed sections
such as the nozzle
the test section
the second throat
as well as techniques for the low-speed sections. In this paper
both the overall design requirement and the aerodynamic design methods of some main sections suitable for continuous transonic wind tunnels are introduced in detail
which are studied and verified by CFD and wind tunnel tests. Through the application of these aerodynamic design techniques
the flow field uniformity
noise level and turbulence intensity of the 2.4 m continuous transonic wind tunnel have reached the international advanced level
with the test data in good consistency with those from similar wind tunnels abroad.
