Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce an influence exerted on a vehicle by a boundary layer by providing the second ground surface plate floated by a thickness portion of its boundary layer, on the ground surface of a wind tunnel. CONSTITUTION:On a ground surface 4 between a blowout port 1 and a suction port 2, the second ground surface plate 5 is provided by floating it by a thick ness (h) of a boundary layer from the ground surface 4. A tip 5a of the ground surface plate 5 is inclined against the ground surface 4. Therefore, in order to measure an aero dynamic characteristic, a vehicle is placed statically on the ground surface plate 5 placed between the blowout port 1 and the suction port 2, and a test is executed by feeding a wind to the suction port 2 from the flowout port 1. In this case, a boundary layer 6 is generated on the ground surface 4, but it is bypassed through a space between the ground surface 4 and the ground surface plate 5 and flows in the backward direction, and exhausted from the suction port 2. Accordingly, the boundary layer generated on the ground surface 4 exerts no influence on the vehicle 3 directly. Also, a boundary layer 7 is generated on the ground surface plate 5, too, but since the ground surface plate 5 is short, the influence exerted on the vehicle 3 is small.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION When examining the aerodynamic characteristics of a conventional vehicle while it is running, wind tunnel equipment is often used instead of actual driving. In the conventional wind tunnel apparatus, as shown in FIG. 5, a test is conducted by placing a vehicle 13 still on the ground 12 inside the wind tunnel apparatus 11 and blowing wind to simulate actual driving. However, in a normal wind tunnel device, the ground 12
Since the walls 14 are fixed, the conditions differ from actual driving conditions due to the development of a boundary layer 15 along the ground 12. In particular, since vehicles run close to the ground, they are significantly affected by the boundary layer 15 of the ground.

The boundary layer that develops above the working plate becomes thicker toward the rear. Therefore, the boundary layer generated from the tip of the wind tunnel becomes thicker as it goes downstream of the wind tunnel. Therefore, a second ground plate of the minimum required length is installed inside the wind tunnel, floating by the thickness of the boundary layer. As a result, the boundary layer generated near the ground of the wind tunnel can be bypassed through the space between the second ground plate and the ground, and the influence of the boundary layer on the vehicle can be eliminated. A boundary layer also occurs on the second ground plate, but since the second ground plate is set to the minimum necessary length, the boundary layer of the second ground plate is kept as thin as possible, and its influence is small.

FIG. 1 shows an apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure,
1 is a wind outlet of the wind tunnel apparatus, and 2 is a wind inlet. A vehicle 3 whose aerodynamic force is to be measured is placed between an air outlet 1 and an air inlet 2. A second ground plate 5 is provided on the ground 4 between the air outlet 1 and the suction port 2 so as to be suspended from the ground 4. The second ground plate 5 is lifted from the ground 4 by the thickness h of the boundary layer 6 formed on the ground 4. The second ground plate 5 is made of a flat plate, and its tip 5a on the outlet 1 side is inclined with respect to the ground 4, as shown in FIG. The length of the second ground plate 5 placed on the second ground plate 5 of the vehicle 3 is longer than the total length of the vehicle 3 to be measured, and is close to the total length of the vehicle 3. However, the length of the second ground plate 5 is smaller than twice the total length of the vehicle 3 to be measured.

At this time, a boundary layer 6 is generated on the ground 4. The boundary layer 6 gradually becomes thicker from the outlet 1 to the inlet 2. However, the boundary layer 6 generated along the ground surface 4 is bypassed through the space between the ground surface 4 and the second ground plate 5, flows backward, and is discharged from the suction port 2. Therefore, the boundary layer 6 generated on the ground 4 does not directly affect the vehicle 3. Second
Also on the ground plate 5, there is a boundary II that gradually becomes thicker from the tip to the rear edge! 17 occurs, but since the second ground plate 5 is short,
The effect on car 3 is small. In addition, the second ground plate 5
Since the tip is tilted forward, the development of the boundary layer 7 of the second ground plate 5 is suppressed, and the boundary layer 6 is easily sucked into between the ground 4 and the second ground plate 5.
