An experimental study of the vortex wake at Mach number of 3
Abstract
The results of experimental study of the flow in the wing wake at Mach number of 3 are presented. These experiments extends the data obtained in the same experimental setup at Mach numbers of 2.5 and 4 [1]. Experiments were carried out in supersonic wind tunnel T-325 of ITAM SB RAS. Rectangular half-wing with sharp edges with a chord length of 30 mm and semispan of 95 mm was used to generate vortex wake. Experimental data were obtained in two cross sections located 1.5 and 6 chord length downstream of the trailing edge at wing angle of attack of 10 degrees. Constant temperature hot-wire anemometer was used to measure disturbances in supersonic flow. Hot-wire aemometer was made of a tungsten wire with a diameter of 10 µm and length of 1.5 mm. Shlieren flow visualization were performed. As a result, the position and size of the vortex core in the wake of a rectangular wing were determined. For the first time mass flow distribution and its pulsations in the supersonic longitudinal vortex was measured at Mach number of 3.
