Calibrating test sections for calibration of aerodynamic probes
Abstract
Some axisymmetric nozzles were tested as part of an experimental investigation of free jet test sections for calibration of aerodynamic probes. A considerable probe - shaft influence was observed in the higher subsonic region. The suitability of subsonic test sections using convergent nozzles was demonstrated. For the supersonic range, test sections obtained with a ventilated and a convergent-divergent nozzle were found to be unsuitable.
