These inlets, because of the high mass flows of turbofan engines, would have large diameter ratios (ratio of inlet diameter

15、to nlaximum diameter). In addition, some configurations with high subsonic cruise speeds require these inlets to operate at supercritical speeds; little high-speed inlet data exists, however, to aid in nacelle design for advanced sub- sonic transports. The most comprehensive data on axisymmetric inl

16、ets (NACA 1 -series) (reported in refs. 11 and 12) were obtained at low speeds. Investigations in the transonic speed range (refs. 13 to 18) were conducted on inlets which, in comparison with inlets required for most turbofan engines, had small diameter ratios. To complement the data just mentioned,

17、 several NACA 1 -series inlets of large diameter ratio were investigated over a range of mass flows in the Langley 16-foot transonic tunnel at Mach numbers from 0.4 to 1.29. These data are reported in reference 19. This investigation extends the external pressure-distribution results for four of the

18、 inlets discussed in reference 19 to higher inlet mass-flow ratios and includes external pressure distributions for four additional inlets. Mass-flow ratios near 1.0 were obtained using a model afterbody with a larger throttleable exit area than was used in the previous investigation. All of the inl

19、ets investigated here had a length ratio (ratio of inlet length to maximum diameter) of 1.0 and diameter ratios of 0.85 to 0.89. Inlet lip radius varied from 0.061 cm to 0.251 cm and internal contraction ratio (ratio of inlet area to throat area) varied from 1.006 to 1.201. The investigation was con

Four of the inlets were used in the investigation described in reference 19 and four additional inlets were constructed for the present invest

28、igation. The variations in inlet geometry include inlet diameter ratio, inlet lip radius, and inlet internal area contrac- tion ratio. The nondimensional NACA I-series outer profile ordinates, as presented for a given Pip radius in reference 11, are reproctuced in table I. Figure 2 contains a Provid

29、ed by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-summary of the important geometric parameters for each of the inlets. Nondimension- alized internal ordinates for each inlet are shown in table II. The inlets with internal contraction ratios of 1.046 or grea

30、ter are elliptical between the lip and the minimum duct-area station (throat). From the throat to the 25-percent station (X/X = 0.25)1, the internal contour of all the inlets consisted of a lo semicone expansion. A faired curve made up the remainder of the internal contour. The proportional rate of

31、area growth (based on the difference between maximum duct area and throat area) as a function of distance in the faired section was Identical for all inlets. Diffuser area ratios (ratio of maximum duct internal area to inlet throat area) for each inlet are shown in table 11. Static-pressure orifices

32、 were drilled into tubing placed in grooves in the model surface and which had been covered with a filler material. The locations of the orifices on each inlet outer profile are presented in table III. The four struts which connected the inlets to the centerbody were used to route the inlet static-p

33、ressure tubes to differ- ential pressure-scanning units mounted in the nose of the centerbody. Three of the struts were instrumented with the pressure probes necessary to measure duct mass flow (see fig. 3). The inlets and afterbody were made from aluminum; parts of the pri- mary structure, the stin

34、g, for example, were made of steel. The afterbdy had a cylind ical external shape (2.89 in length) and was 45.72 em in diameter. The afterbody had a constant internal diameter back to sta- tion 111.76 where the duct changes to a conical shape, and thereafter increased in diam- eter to the exit. Exte

35、rnal orifice locations for the afterbody are presented in table W; the locations are based on inlet length (where inlet length X = 45.72 em). The after- body was attached directly to the sting by four struts (see fig. 1). The mass-flow throttle plug was driven by an internally housed remote-control

36、electric motor and had a travel of about 25.4 em. The open area at the exit of the model (normal to the free-stream flow direction) could be varied from 1022.42 ern2 to 1573.46 cm2 with the plug in either of its two extreme positions. WIND TUNNEL The investigation was conducted in the Langley 16-foo

37、t transonic tunnel, a single- return atmospheric wind tunnel with continuous air exchange. The test section is oetag- onal in shape measuring 4.724 m between opposite walls (an area equivalent to a circle 4.85 m in diameter). The test section has axial slots at the wall vertices; the total width of

38、the eight slots in the vicinity of the model is approximately 3.7 percent of the test sec- tion perimeter. At Mach numbers from 1.2 to 1.3, the divergence angle of the test sec- tion walls was adjusted (based on calibration data) as a function of airstream dewpoint temperature; the adjustment elimin

A complete description of the wind tunnel and its airflow charact

40、eristics is contained in reference 20. The solid blockage of the model in the test section is between 0.88 per- cent (no flow through model) and 0.33 percent (throttle plug area only). The tunnel sting-support system pivots in such a manner that the model remains on or near the test- section center

41、line through the angle-of-attack range. TESTS AND METHODS Each inlet was tested at Mach numbers from 0.40 to 1.01 at an angle of attack of 00. The NACA 1-89-100 inlet with a contraction ratio of 1.006 was also tested at Mach numbers of 1.20 and 1.29. Most of the inlets were also tested at a nominal

42、angle of attack between 10 and 2O with a high mass-flow ratio at several subsonic Mach numbers. Sketches show- ing the variations in inlet geometry included in this investigation are presented in figure 2. The variations of free-stream stagnation temperature and Reynolds number (based on maximum mod

43、el diameter) with Mach number are shown in figure 4. All the data pre- sented here are for free boundary-layer transition on the model since the tunnel stream conditions and the large scale of the model result in a Reynolds number approaching one- half that of a nacelle 2.13 m in diameter at operati

44、ng altitude. Inlet angle of attack was obtained by correcting the angle of the model support sys- tem for deflection of the sting under aerodynamic loads and for test-section stream angu- larity. No corrections were made to the pressure data for test-section wall-interference effects or for local co

45、ndensation effects that may have occurred in the model flow field. The presence of the mass-flow throttle plug at the base of the afterbody affects the after- body pressure field; therefore, the small amount of afterbody pressure data presented should be considered qualitative.
