Static Pressure Orifice Imaging & Data Correlation

Abstract

The quality of static pressure ports has historically been shown to be capable of biasing the resulting measurements of static pressure over the surface. Some of the flaws in the port quality can be recognized visually through magnified imaging of the port with a microscope. Through digital analyses of images of a large quantity of existing pressure ports and estimation of the deviations from the true static pressure for each port, a correlation could potentially be constructed to estimate whether a port will generate a significant error based upon its surface-level appearance. This presentation pursues this hypothesis through attempted correlation of subsonic data collected on the 4-inch-diameter cone cylinder during the 2019 characterization tests in the NASA Glenn Research Center's 8- by 6-Foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel (8x6 SWT).

Characterization of the NASA Glenn Research Center 8- by 6-Foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel (2019 Test)

There were several major modifications made to the NASA Glenn Research Center 8- by 6-Foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel between 2016 and 2019, including the 9- by 15-Foot Low Speed Wind Tunnel Acoustic Improvement Modifications. Following completion of these facility modifications, a characterization test was conducted in the 8- by 6-Foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel test section. This test entry collected data for a single test section porosity configuration across the entire operating range of the facility. Flow field data were collected at a cross-sectional plane and axially along test section center-line for use in quantifying the test section flow quality. Off-nominal supersonic conditions were surveyed through variation of balance chamber pressure at each of the discrete flexible wall nozzle settings. Additionally, a baseline check calibration data set was acquired during this entry.
