Addition Of A Stanton Gauge To The Boundary Layer Data System, Brittany Reanne Kinkade
Addition Of A Stanton Gauge To The Boundary Layer Data System, Brittany Reanne Kinkade
Master's Theses
The Stanton gauge technique provides an indirect method for measurement of skin friction on a smooth aerodynamic surface in which a pressure tap is available. This thesis presents the design and evaluation of a new type of skin friction measurement gauge based on the Stanton gauge concept but not requiring a surface pressure tap. This new skin friction measurement gauge, called a "Flow Tab", can therefore be used on an aerodynamic model or aircraft surface without alteration of the surface. The Flow Tab is thus particularly well-suited to use with Cal Poly's Boundary Layer Data System (BLDS), a small, self-contained …
