AerE343L: Dimensional Analysis and Similitude Commonly used nondimensional parameters: Euler number, Eu VL Reynolds number, Re Froude Number, Fr Strohal Number, Str p V V M ach Number, M c Weber Number, We V lg pressureforce inertial force inertial force viscous force inertial force gravity force inertial force compressiblity force l centrifugal force V inertial force V l inertial force surface tension force Similitude: Geometric similarity: the model have the same shape as the prototype. Kinematic similarity: condition where the velocity ratio is a constant between all corresponding points in the flow field. Dynamic similarity: Forces which act on corresponding masses in the model flow and prototype flow are in the same ratio through out the entire flow
Measurement Uncertainties Error is the difference between the experimentally-determined value and its true value; therefore, as error decreases, accuracy is said to increase. A error A measured A true Total error, U, can be considered to be composed of two components: a random (precision) component, a systematic (bias) component, We usually don t know these exactly, so we estimate them with P and B, respectively. E A m A true E relative A A error true U B P Repeatability Reproducibility Precision Error Both Bias and Precision Errors Bias error True value X= precision error measured value X= X

Index of refraction: Shadowgraph and Schlieren technique n c / v Depend on variation of index of refraction in a transparent medium and the resulting effect on a light beam passing through the test section Shadowgraph systems: are used to indicate the variation of the second derivatives (normal to the light beam) of the index of refraction. shadowgraph depicting the flow generated by a bullet at supersonic speeds. (by Andrew Davidhazy ) Schlieren Systems: are used to indicate the variation of the first derivative of the index of refraction Schlieren images of the muzzle blast and supersonic bullet from firing a.3-6 caliber high-powered rifle (by Gary S. Settles )
