I did the wind tunnel simulation of Perrinn myP1 and compared it with the real scale simulation.
1. Conditions
Length Scale: 50%
Wind Speed: 40m/s
1. Conditions
Length Scale: 50%
Wind Speed: 40m/s
2. Forces
frontal area is scaled in real size.
frontal area is scaled in real size.
CDA = Cd * A (frontal area)
CDAp = CDA by pressure
CDAv = CDA by viscosity
CDAp = CDA by pressure
CDAv = CDA by viscosity
CLA = Cl * A
CLAf = Front CLA
CLAr = Rear CLA
CLAf = Front CLA
CLAr = Rear CLA
L/D = DownForce / Drag
Drag is not much different, while downforce is smaller in wind tunnel scale.
3. Visualisation
Cp calculated by (pressure - 101325)/(0.5*1.225*50^2)
CpT calculated by (pressure - 101325 + 0.5*rho*mag(U)^2)/(0.5*1.225*50^2)
3. Visualisation
Cp calculated by (pressure - 101325)/(0.5*1.225*50^2)
Cp difference compared with real scale
Y=0mm plane
Y=750mm (in real scale) plane
X=0mm plane
X=2950mm (in real scale) plane
Y=0mm plane
Y=750mm (in real scale) plane
hello
ReplyDeletehow were you able to make those CpT difference images
Hi,
DeleteI think I did it by using foamCalc utility.
