Abstract: |
First, the article outlines the elements of an ongoing research project, aiming to demonstrate that the basic ICAO standard EDR (Eddy Dissipation Rate) index of atmospheric turbulence intensity, defined as the cubic root of the turbulence energy per unit time and mass, can be measured and calculated in Wind Tunnel (WT) according to the basic Kolmogorov concept. This involves showing that EDR index calculated in WT, taking a sufficient number of velocity measuring points, can be an objective measure of turbulence intensity, independent of the body immersed in the fluid. Secondly, it is shown that these measurements are accompanied by intermediate active vibration control tests. For this purpose, a Turbulence Generator was built and installed in the WT and an intelligent wing model with implemented LQG active control was introduced in the WT. These two procedures, complementary in substance, aim to demonstrate the consistency of the flight approach based on the objectivity of this ICAO standard EDR index and the vibration reduction methodology in a turbulent atmospheric environment. |
