Overview

A transonic region means a region of Mach number = approx. 0.8 to approx. 1.4. In the transonic wind tunnel, airflow from the nozzle is expanded at the porous wall or slots installed in the Test Section and, at the same time, the aperture ratio of the 2nd throat is controlled so that transonic airflow is generated with stability. The left figure is an example of the porous wall installed in the measuring channel.

Features

  • Verification tests of airflow characteristics in the transonic region are available.
  • Various fundamental hydrodynamics research in the transonic regions can be performed.
