Parts
1) Pre-test lecture
2) One half day performing the exercise.
3) Three half days to work out the results and to prepare a report
Course Contents
1) Measuring the properties of a two-dimensional airfoil and a three-dimensional wing in a low speed windtunnel
2) Pressure measurements, wake measurements and demonstration of flow phenomena.
3) The measurement results are compared to basic CFD calculations on the spot.
Study Goals
1) Illustration of some of the topics adressed in the course ae2110
2) Getting acquainted with the real flow conditions (e.g. effects of viscosity) over a 2 airfoil and 3D wing
3) Illustration of the restricted accuracy of basic CFD approaches for wing aerodynamics
Education Method
1) Pre-Lab lecture
2) Windtunnel experiment + CFD analysis. Comparison of methods and reporting
Literature and Study Materials
Hand-outs
Assessment
Assessment of lab report, grading with a mark.
Set-up
The practical exercise AE2209 is given once every year in the second part of the second part of the first semester. The exercise takes place in the low speed windtunnel, LTT, Leeghwaterstraat 42, Delft
