Abstract
Design of wind tunnels which gives the flow stream equivalent to the real
situation is a biggest challenge as it involves turbulent and cross flow situations.
The experimental simulation of cross flow with the real time turbulent
behaviour is significantly tedious to conduct as the flow physics itself is little
complicated. This paper focuses on the Numerical Simulation on the effect of
cross flow in the wind tunnel test sectional passage. For the present
computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis, a conventional wind tunnel is
considered and the design modifications are done to achieve the cross flow
effects. A typical aircraft model is placed in the test-section and the cross flow
is simulated along with main stream to predict the flow quantities like pressure,
velocity and turbulent intensity. A Pressure Based Navier Stokes (PBNS) solver
(Ansys-Fluent) is used and the flow is considered steady and incompressible.
The cross flow angle is varied from 25̊̊ to 60. The aerodynamic characteristics
of the aircraft model are compared with and without Cross-flow wind. It is
observed that cross flow produces more turbulent intensity at minimum angle
than larger angle. Also this paper analyses the effect of varying turbulent
intensity of cross flow over the test section model.
