Cryogenic wind tunnel instrumentation
Abstract
Research conducted under the European Wind Tunnel project with the objective of adapting wind tunnel instrumentation to cryogenic conditions is reviewed. In particular, attention is given to the development of cryogenic balances, pressure transducers, accelerometers, temperature transducers, skin friction gages, and instruments for attitude and deformation measurements. Model instrumentation and model motorization are also discussed.
