Vortical flow exploration methods developed for the F1 wind tunnel
Abstract
Flow field investigation methods are developed by Office National d'Etudes et de Recherches Aerospatiales for its large wind tunnels. The means - exploring device, motorized probe holders, piloting computer system - used to position and point the probes are described. For vortex flow investigations five hole probes and two or three hot wire probes are used. The measuring and data processing techniques for the various probes are given. Finally typical results obtained in the O.N.E.R.A. F1 wind tunnel are presented.
