    Description: A single-axis, five-beam, three-component laser velocimeter (LV) system was used in a major experiment. Satisfactory results were obtained with the LV system in the juncture flow. Limited optical access to the tunnel proved to be a problem for the three component LV system in determining the third component.

    Description: Vortex flows of interest to aerodynamicists cover a wide range of scales from a fraction of an inch in boundary layer flows to many feet in wake flows. In many applications these flows are poorly understood and, due to their complexity, present a challenge both analytically and experimentally. Four topics representing the spectrum of experimental and analytical vortex research are presented.

    Description: A Laser Velocimetry (LV) seeding system was specifically developed for the Langley Low Turbulence Wind Tunnel (LTPT), and it has been successfully used for LV measurements in two major tests (Juncture Flow Experiment and Gortler Experiment). The LTPT is capable of operating at Mach numbers from 0.05 to 0.50 and unit Reynolds numbers from 100,000 to 15,000,000 per foot. The test section is 3 feet wide and 7.5 feet high. The turbulence level in the test section is relatively low because of the high contraction ratio and because of the nine turbulence reduction screens in the settling chamber. A primary requirement of the seeding system was that the seeding material not contaminate or damage in any way these screens. Both solid and liquid seeding systems were evaluated, and the results are presented. They can provide some guidelines for setting up seeding systems in other similar tunnels.

    Description: Constant-temperature anemometry was used to measure the disturbance levels in the Langley Research Center 20-inch Mach 6 Tunnel over a limited range of total pressures. The measurements were made using a dual wire probe where each wire was operated at a high but different overheat. The fluctuating voltages were digitized and a system of two equations was solved to obtain the instantaneous mass flow and total temperature fluctuations as a function of time. Statistical techniques were used to obtain statistical quantities of interest.

    Description: Flow measurements have been made in the wake region of a simulated wing-fuselage juncture, with and without leading-edge fillets, in order to assess the effect of leading-edge modifications on the flow field around the juncture. Preliminary results indicate that there is some reduction in juncture drag at moderate angles of attack with the use of leading-edge fillets. There is also evidence of improvement in the flow characteristics on the surface downstream of the juncture when fillets are used. As the fillet size is increased, flow characteristics start deteriorating at some point, and an optimum fillet size may be required to achieve an overall improvement in the flow field.

    Description: The turbulent flow around a juncture formed by an unswept wing and a flat plate has been experimentally studied, and the effectiveness of modifications near the wing leading edge in controlling the juncture flow field has been evaluated. The results are compared with numerical solutions of the incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model is used in the computations. The numerical code is very time efficient, and it predicts the flow behavior well, including the detection of leading-edge vortex formation. It tends to over-predict the boundary layer thickness and the location of the vortex. Both the experiment and computations indicate that the leading edge flow separation is eliminated by the use of a leading-edge fillet designed in this study, resulting in drag reduction.

    Description: The paper addresses the basic features of conventional instrumentation, such as the constant temperature (CTA) and the constant current (CCA) anemometers, their limitations, and describes a totally new approach to high-speed dynamic measurements using a constant voltage anemometer (CVA). The paper describes the design features of a newly developed CVA and compares preliminary results obtained with CVA and conventional anemometry in low- and high-speed flows.

    Description: The laminar flow around a juncture formed by an unswept wing and a flat plate has been studied using a combination of smoke flow visualization, and velocity and pressure measurements. The effectiveness of swept leading-edge fillets in controlling the juncture flow field has been evaluated. Flow separation upstream of the wing leading edge is confined to a small region near the plate. This separation results in periodic shedding of horseshoe type vortices. The pressure gradient measured upstream of the leading edge in this laminar juncture is steeper than that of the turbulent flow case. The use of fillets eliminates the leading-edge flow separation and reduces the size of juncture wake, as observed from flow visualization. For one of the filleted cases, there is a significant increase in the extent of laminar flow in the juncture region, and a sizable reduction in the juncture drag.

    Description: The turbulent flow in a simulated wing-fuselage juncture has been investigated using Laser Velocimetry. The juncture was simulated by a splitter plate with an unswept wing model mounted perpendicular to it. The use of sharp wing leading edge results in the elimination of separation ahead of leading edge, and hence the separation vortex. Secondary flow induced by Reynolds stress gradients is the main source of vortical motion in the juncture formed by the plate and the flat surface of the wing, whereas in the juncture formed by the plate and the circular arc surface of the wing, streamwise vorticity is generated because of the presence of lateral curvature in the flow field. The results of this study indicate that fillets in the juncture can improve the flow characteristics near the wing trailing edge.
