Unsteady subscale force measurements within a launch vehicle base buffeting<br />

Title:<br />

environment<br />

Prediction of the unsteady forces on a full-scale, main stage, nozzle is normally obtained via wind tunnel testing. In such wind<br />

tunnel testing however, problems arise when the forces on the nozzle need to be evaluated. In the past this has been<br />

achieved using heavy instrumentation of the nozzle, to allow integration of unsteady pressure measurements and, thus, the<br />

derivation of the forces. This technique has, to date, been proven to be unreliable and the results are sometimes questionable,<br />

<strong>du</strong>e to the drastic modification of the model of the nozzle required to accommodate the instrumentation. Based of the above,<br />

the proposed <strong>TRP</strong> activity is defined as follows: 1. In a first step, available literature should be examined and an evaluation of<br />

the potential for the separate techniques should be given.2. Secondly, a technical specification for a system, allowing the<br />

direct measurement of the unsteady forces on a scale nozzle in a representative environment, should be defined. 3. Finally,<br />

the performance of the new system should be: evaluated in testing; compared against the pressure integration techniques<br />

already developed; scaled for comparison against available flight data.<br />

Deliverables:<br />

Tech. Spec of Measurement methodology of unsteady forces on subsc. nozzle (representative of launch vehicle base flow<br />

environment). Final report (subsc. test results, comparison with avail. flight data, applicat. w.r.t. assoc. flow structure<br />
