| Description | The present study represents an extension of an earlier wind tunnel experiment performed with the P&W 17-in. Advanced Ducted Propeller (ADP) Simulator operating at Mach 0.2. In order to study the effects of a rotating propeller on the inlet flow, data were obtained in the UTRC 10- by 15-Foot Large Subsonic Wind Tunnel with the same hardware and instrumentation, but with the propeller removed. These new tests were performed over a range of flow rates which duplicated flow rates in the powered simulator program. The flow through the inlet was provided by a remotely located vacuum source. A comparison of the results of this flow-through study with the previous data from the powered simulator indicated that in the conventional inlet the propeller produced an increase in the separation angle of attack between 4.0 deg at a specific flow of 22.4 lb/sec-sq ft to 2.7 deg at a higher specific flow of 33.8 lb/sec-sq ft. A similar effect on separation angle of attack was obtained by using stationary blockage rather than a propeller. |
