Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention provides a method and a system for determining forces which act on a body with a controlled volume which is provided inside the flow tunnel and in which the body is arranged. A first measuring means is used to measure a pressure distribution for each surface defining the controlled volume. A second measuring means measures a velocity field for each defining surface of the controlled volume. Furthermore, a calculation unit is provided for calculating the forces acting on the body as a function of the pressure distributions and velocity fields measured for the defining surfaces of the controlled volume.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for determining forces which act on a three-dimensional body, the method comprising: (a) in a flow tunnel, arranging the three-dimensional body in a predetermined closed controlled three-dimensional volume which has a plurality of defining surfaces; (b) at first and second measurement devices, simultaneously measuring a pressure distribution and a velocity field for each surface of the plurality of defining surfaces enclosing the closed cont…
