19、TUS AND TEST METHODS Model Description The LS(l)-0421 modified airfoil section is a 21% maximum thickness airfoil with a design lift coefficient of 0.4, derived from the 17% thick LS(l)-0417 (formerly designated GA(W)-1) air- foil. The LS(l).-0421 modified section is the result of several iterations

20、 of testing and theoretical analysis by the NASA Langley Airfoil Research Group to develop a highly efficient 21% thick sec- tion (ref. 2). For tests in the WSU two-dimensional facility, models were sized with 91.4 cm span and 61.0 cm chord. The forward 70% of the airfoil was fabricated from laminat

21、ed mahogany bonded to a 2.5 cm x 34.8 cm aluminum spar. Trailing edge sections were fabricated from solid aluminum for the aileron, flap and spoiler configurations. Geometric details are given in figure 1. The 20% chord aileron was designed with a 0.5% leading edge clearance gap. The 25% slotted fla

22、p and 10% spoiler were designed with an airfoil forward section which terminates at 87.5% chord. The 10% spoiler was arranged in a slot-lip configuration with the 25% slotted flap. The spoiler was fitted with ball bearing hinges at three spanwise locations, and strain-gaged cantilever beam flexures

23、at each end for hinge moment measurement. All components were equipped with 1.07 mm inside diameter pressure taps for pressure distribution surveys. Flap and aileron positioning was provided through a set of guide rails mounted on the end plate disks, external to the test section. The model and end

24、plates were mounted on the wind tunnel main balance system by means of pivot pins located at the airfoil 50% chord station. Foam seals around the circumference of the 1.07 m diameter end plates protected against flow leakage. These seals were care- fully adjusted during static calibration to avoid i

25、nterference friction forces. The model was fitted with 2.5 mm wide transition strips of #80 Carborundum grit located at 5% chord on the upper surface, and 10% chord on the lower surface. 3 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-Instrumentati

Spoiler hinge moment measurements were ob- tained directly from strain-gage flexures, and aileron hinge moments were obtained from integration of surface pressures. Pressure measurements were made with 96 pressure tube

With this system, final data which included one-component plots were available 6 seconds after data acquisition. Final three- component plots were available 3 minutes after en

31、d of run. Incre- mental control effectiveness and pressure integrations were ob- tained by off-line computer runs on the same computing system. Test Procedure Three-component force measurements were made using the wind tunnel main balance system. Flap-nested drag measurements were made using the wak

32、e survey method. A scanning five tube pressure probe was used for this purpose. Surveys were conducted at one chord-length downstream from the model trailing edge. The difference between force balance drag and wake survey drag is end plate tare drag, which depends upon lift coefficient as well as ai

33、rfoil sec- tion. The wake survey method cannot be utilized when separation is present. For this reason it was not applied to flap extended tests. However under high drag conditions the end plate tare is a relatively small portion of total drag. This reasoning has led to the following procedure: (a)

34、for flap-nested cases the wake survey drag is used directly, (b) for flap, aileron or spoiler extended cases the drag as measured by the force balance is cor- rected by subtracting the end plate tare. The end plate tare curve is extrapolated for high lift-coefficient conditions. De- tails of this ex

35、trapolation are given in appendix A. Wind Tunnel The WSU Walter Beech Tunnel is a closed return tunnel with atmospheric test section static pressure. The test section with two-dimensional inserts is 0.91 m x 2.13 m. Complete description of the insert and calibration details are given in reference 4.

36、 Special corrections for circulation effects on the test secton static pressure system have been applied as described in Appendix B. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Presentation of Results Test results and comparison with theory and other experi- mental results are shown in the figures as listed in Table 2.

The force data show that the basic section has a very unusual stalling cha

40、racteristic. Initial stall occurs at a cRmax of 1.31 and an angle of attack of 6 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-11.3O. This is substantially lower than the 1.54 cRmax of the 17% thick GA(W)-1 section (ref. 5). The post-stall cLmax cu

41、rve for the 21% section is quite flat, dipping to about 1.26 at 18O and subsequently recovering to a higher level above 20. The drag and pitching moment results are similar to the lift, showing progressive changes through cRmax with no indication of abrupt separation. The NASA tests of ref. 2 show s

42、imilar results for lift and moment at 2.0x10 6 Reynolds number, but abrupt stalling character- istics at higher Reynolds numbers. The drag measurements from the present tests show the same minimum drag level as the NASA tests, but somewhat higher drag levels for lift coefficients above 0.4. The pres

43、sure distributions and tuft studies for the flap nested configuration confirm the implications of the force measurements. The separation progression is quite slow as angle of attack is in- creased. In fact both tuft pattern and pressure distributions in- dicate that even at 30 angle of attack, separ

44、ation has not reached the leading edge. Pressure distributions are characterized by very modest nose suction peaks and mild gradients. Theoretical results using the method of reference 6 show relatively poor agreement with experiment for all positive angles of attack. The discrepancies become quite

45、large for high angles of attack when massive separa- tion is present. 20% Aileron: (figures 6 through 8). Lift characteristics with aileron show that as aileron downward deflection is increased, the stalling characteristic becomes progressively more abrupt. Aileron drag, pitching moment and incremen

46、tal control effectiveness are similar to the 17% thick GA(W)-1 airfoil (ref. 8). Aileron hinge moments are similar to the GA(W)-1, but show considerable non-linearity at high angles. Pressure distributions show mild peaks and relatively slow progression of separation with angle of attack. 25% Flap:

47、(figures 9 through 17). cRmax contours for flap de- flections from loo to 35O show that the optimum flap settings are quite similar to other airfoils (for example, ref. 9). cRmax values for all flap settings are lower than comparable data for the 13% 7 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or

48、 networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-thick GA(W)-2 section (ref. 9). Theoretical results over-predict lift at 30 and 35“ flap deflection at all angles of attack. At 10“ and 20 flap settings the theory under-predicts the lift, even at low angles of attack. While the under-prediction discrepancies are not large, they are consistent with trends observed on other air- foil-flap combinations (see ref. 9). Over-prediction of lift has been attributed to boundary layer thickness exceeding theoreti
