The Effect of Surface Roughness of a Body in the High Reynolds-Number Flow

In this paper, first, the principle, structures, operations, and performances of the cryogenic wind tunnel are described. By changing the pressure, temperature and velocity of gas a high Reynolds-number flow (5×104<Re<107) can be obtained. From the research results, a high Reynolds-number flow...

description In this paper, first, the principle, structures, operations, and performances of the cryogenic wind tunnel are described. By changing the pressure, temperature and velocity of gas a high Reynolds-number flow (5×104<Re<107) can be obtained. From the research results, a high Reynolds-number flow with comparatively low power, LN consumptions was attained. It was with Mach-number independent of each other, o show some examples of high Reynolds-number flow, the effects of surface roughness and grooves on the surface of a cylinder on the flow are measured using models with various values of roughness and size. A model test of an airship was also conducted. With the high Reynolds-number flow, the thickness of the boundary layer becomes thinner. Then the surface conditions of a body have great effect on the flow phenomena and on the drag of the body. Some attempts to reduce the drag of the body were shown.
