Abstract:A system is developed to allow measurement of both the mean and disturbance flow velocities in separated regions. An oscillating-arm assembly provides a directional bias to the hot-wire probe, along with a linear-step assembly, which steps the probe through the boundary layer. This system is used to investigate the flow field associated with laminar separation bubbles. A series of velocity profiles are measured on an FX63-137 airfoil in the chord-Reynolds-number range: 150,000 < R, < 300,000, at angles of atta… Show more
