The design of turbulence amplifiers is given a rational basis by identifying the critical parameter groups necessary to completely specify the performance of a given element, deriving by analysis or experiment the relationships between these nondimensional parameter groups, and developing a rational procedure for obtaining a quantitative dimensioned set of operating characteristics from these relationships. Part I of this paper outlines the problem, identifies the required relations, and presents analyses confirmed by data. These analyses develop relationships for tube pressure-flow characteristics, jet attenuation, and recovered pressure. Part II presents empirical relationships specifying jet stability and control characteristics, and develops a design procedure with an example.

This paper is a direct extension of Part I. The relationships important to turbulence amplifier characteristics but not amenable to direct analysis are empirically determined in this part. These include the output pressure-control flow characteristics, the influence of amplifier geometry on control performance, and data on the location of the free (uncontrolled) transition that always occurs in the main jet. With this information and the results of Part I of this paper, a design procedure is presented and confirmed by an example compared with measured data. The procedure is useful for the design of turbulence amplifiers operating with air as the working fluid.

AbstractA flight test campaign for system identification is a costly and time-consuming task. Models derived from wind tunnel experiments and CFD calculations must be validated and/or updated with flight data to match the real aircraft stability and control characteristics. Classical maneuvers for system identification are mostly one-surface-at-a-time inputs and need to be performed several times at each flight condition. Various methods for defining very rich multi-axis maneuvers, for instance based on multisine/sum of sines signals, already exist. A new design method based on the wavelet transform allowing the definition of multi-axis inputs in the time-frequency domain has been developed. The compact representation chosen allows the user to define fairly complex maneuvers with very few parameters. This method is demonstrated using simulated flight test data from a high-quality Airbus A320 dynamic model. System identification is then performed with this data, and the results show that aerodynamic parameters can still be accurately estimated from these fairly simple multi-axis maneuvers.
