Supersonic Flow Visualization of a Nacelle in Close Proximity to a Simulated Wing
Series:
A flow visualization study was made in the 9 x 9 inch supersonic wind tunnel at Wichita State University to examine shock and boundary layer flow interaction for a nacelle in close proximity to the lower surface of a simulated wing. The test matrix included variations of angle of attack from -2 degrees to ]4 degrees, nacelle-wing gap from 0.5 to 3-nacelle inlet diameter (0.12 inch), and Reynolds n

A flow visualization study was made in the 9 x 9 inch supersonic wind tunnel at Wichita State University to examine shock and boundary layer flow interaction for a nacelle in close proximity to the lower surface of a simulated wing. The test matrix included variations of angle of attack from -2 degrees to ]4 degrees, nacelle-wing gap from 0.5 to 3-nacelle inlet diameter (0.12 inch), and Reynolds number based on nacelle length (1.164 inch) from 1.16 x 10(exp 6) to 1.45 x 10(exp 6) at a nominal Mach number of 2. Schlieren pictures of wing and nacelle flowfield were recorded by a video camera during each tunnel run. Results show that the nacelle inlet shock wave remains attached to the inlet lip and its impingement does not significantly affect the wing boundary layer. At the nacelle trailing edge location, the wing boundary layer thickness is approximately one nacelle inlet diameter at alpha = 0 degrees and it decreases with increase of angle of attack.
