    Introduction

    Q

    UALITATIVErwake surveys employing wake imaging

    have verified that most aerodynamic

    flows of

    interest

    are stable.

    1

    Moreover, theycan be surveyed economicallyin

    large

    windtunne ls using mechanicaltraversersandpneumatic

    probes* Qualitative wake surveys are conducted to visualize

    theflowfield, whichis aprerequisiteto abetterunderstanding

    of aerodynamic performance.

    Quantitative

    three-dimensional wake surveys

    are a

    natura l

    extension of wake imaging; They allow separate measure-

    ments ofprofile drag, induced drag, an d

    lift,

    including span-

    wise

    distributions. How ever, there

    are significant

    differenc

    indata acquisition

    and

    processing betw een w ake imaging

    an

    quantitative wake surveys.

    The

    latter

    requires

    the use of

    pneumatic

    probe with multiple holes instead

    of

    asingle tot

    pressure probeto record pressures and velocities whichca

    then be

    converted into aerodynamic forces. Furthermore

    quantitative

    wake surveys require very accurate probe pos

    tion

    m easurem ents since spatial derivativesof flow velociti

    mustbe computed duringdatareduction.

    Quantitativew ake surveys are ofmu ch value to the aer

    dynamicdesign

    of

    airplanes

    for the

    following

    reasons:

    1) Theycan be used as a diagnostic tool during airplan

    development to

    study

    the effect of

    configuration changes

    o

    the

    components

    of

    drag.

    2)

    Separate measurements of induced drag and profile dra

    facilitate

    the

    prediction

    of

    flight drag based

    on

    measuremen

    at low

    Reyno lds num ber w ind-tunnel test con di tions. This

    because induced drag

    and

    profile drag

    are

    associated

    wi

    different

    flow

    pheno mena w hich must

    be

    scaled

    differently

    account for

    changing Reynolds num ber.

    3)

    BRUNE: QUANTITATIVE LOW-SPEED

    WAKE SURVEYS

    Wakes of two-dimensional airfoils have been routinely

    measured

    f ormanyyearswiththe primary objec tive of getting

    accurate profile

    drag

    data which cannot be obtained

    from

    balances. Wake

    surveys

    of three-dimensional

    configurations

    haveocc asionally

    been

    conducted

    but are not

    widelyaccepted

    by

    design aerodynamicists.

    The main

    reason

    for this is a le-

    gitimate

    concern about thecost of such wake measurements

    which require the measurement of a large number of

    data

    points.

    This ca n indeed be a time consuming and, hence,

    expensive process if methods that work so well in

    two-di-

    mensional wake surveys are

    applied

    wi thout further refine-

    ments.

    I n

    addit ion,three-dimensionalw a ke

    surveys

    were

    sus-

    pected to be inaccurate since the

    desired

    drag and lift values

    are the

    com posites

    of a large

    numbe r

    of individual measure-

    ments.

    This articleaddresses these an d other issues and re-

    ports on theprogressmade sinceMaskellconducted the

    first

    wind-tunnel test

    of this kind at the Royal Aircraft Establish-

    ment

    Assum ptions

    Aerodynamicforcesa recalculated

    from

    th emeasuredwake

    flow data assuming the following:

    1)

    Wake

    flow data

    are

    measured

    in a single

    plane

    down-

    streamof themodel .

    This plan e,

    locatedat theso-calledwake

    survey station

    (Fig. 1), is

    assumed

    to be

    perpendicular

    to the

    wind-tunnel

    axis. In

    mostwind tunne ls ,

    the wake survey

    sta-

    t ion must be moved veryclose to the model because of

    test

    section and hardware limitations.

    2)

    The flow at the

    wake survey

    station is steady and in-

    compressible

    w hich limitsthe freestream Machnum ber in the

    wind

    tunnel

    to about0.5.This

    does

    not

    turn

    out to be a serious

    l imitation,

    as

    will

    be

    discussed later.

    3) The flow in the empty wind tunne l is a

    uniform

    free-

    stream

    parallel to the tunnel axis. Any deviations from

    this

    ideal wind

    tunne l ,

    as

    well

    as instrumentation misalignments,

    ar e

    assumed

    to beaccountedfor bym easurementsat the wake

    survey

    the

    model

    and its

    support

    ar e

    such

    that the tunnel

    freestream

    ve-

    locity

    is everywhere tangent to

    these

    surfaces.

    Note

    that the

    presence of a

    model ,

    particularly a

    model that

    is

    large

    com-

    pared to the

    test section

    size, will disturb this displacement

    surface. Also

    notice that

    thischoice neglects

    the possible ef-

    fect of an axialpressure gradient in the empty tunne l

    (buoy-

    ancy).

    5) Viscous

    shear stresses at

    the wake

    survey

    station are

    neglected.

    was in

    high-lift

    configuration with

    deployed. The model had a

    half-span

    of 52 in. and wasinstalled vertically above a hori-

    determine the

    feasibility

    of

    makingqu anti tativewake

    surveys

    using models of realistichigh-lift configurations.

    Wake surveys

    were

    conducted in a plane two mean aero-

    in.) downstream

    of the

    region

    (Fig. 3)werechosen to

    capture

    wing

    an d

    nacelle wakes, but did not include the wake behind the

    fuselage.

    Wake surveys are timeconsuming

    since

    a

    large

    number of

    data points must

    be taken to adequatelydescribe the wake.

    In

    this

    case measurements had to be performed at about15,000

    wake points. In

    order

    to

    complete

    a wake survey within a

    reasonable

    time of about 2 h, data

    were

    recorded while the

    probe traversed at a fixed speed.

    Preliminary investigations

    in which the traversing speed w as varied showed that this

    mode

    of testingproduced accuratedata up to aprobe speed

    of

    1

    in./s.

    Measured

    velocities

    of the

    crossflow

    perpendicular to the

    tunnel

    axis

    were converted into

    axial vorticity as

    described

    above.

    Such

    vorticity

    data together with the measured total

    pressure deficit

    provides much

    Aft-Body Drag Tests

    Conclusions

    This article describes the wake

    survey

    methodology deve

    opedatBoeingfor thepurposeof measuring the componen

    of

    drag of lowspeed, high-lift configurat ions. Impor tan t e

    men ts of thistechnique

    including

    mechanical

    probe

    travers

    an d

    pneumat ic probe design, re f inemen t

    of the

    underlyi

    theory,

    an d data reduction procedures ar e still

    under deve

    opment at the

    present

    time.

    However ,

    the technique has a

    ready been successfully applied inseveral

    wind-tunnel

    te

    as shown in

    this article.

    The fol lowing valuable

    features

    this measur ing technique should be noted:

    1)

    The

    wake

    survey technique providesseparate measu

    ments

    of

    induced

    drag, profile drag, an d

    lift.

    2) Measurement accuracy and data

    repeatability

    are com

    parable

    to balance

    measurements ,

    even though

    lift

    and dr

    data are the

    composites

    o f a largenumber of

    individual

    me

    surements.

    3)

    Small increments

    in

    individual

    components of

    drag

    d

    to minor configurat ion changes can be measured accuratel

    4) Spanwise distributions of lift can be

    obta ined.This

    is

    value

    in

    high-lift

    aerodynamics since the small

    flap

    sizes

    most high-lift models make it

    extremely

    difficult to measu

    spanlift data using surface pressure taps. However,

    all spa

    wise

    wing

    data measured

    in wake surveys should be

    inte

    preted

    with caution

    since

    they

    ar e

    usually

    distorted to som

    degreeby wake roll-up, and

    hence

    ar einfluenced by practic

    limitations

    on the location of the plane in which th e surv

    is conducted.

    5) Wake surveys provide spanwise distributions of prof

    drag

    and induced

    drag, which

    are of value in diagnosing t

    effects

    of local changes to the

    configuration

    geometry.
