Abstract

A new dynamic test mechanism has been developed in the unsteady low-speed wind tunnel at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics to enhance the abilities of experiments in the unsteady flow cases. The structure of the new test mechanism is described in detail in this paper and the equations used to control the performance of test model’s motions are also listed here. Then a wing-body model was tested in the new test system for the first time, including the forced oscillation tests and free-to-roll test at high angle of attack region. The test results are also discussed.
