The single strut in wind tunnel test

AI Thread Summary
Research on the vertical single strut focuses on evaluating support interference values using engineering methods. The singularity method is suggested as a potential approach, though simulation and decomposition of support effects remain unclear. Challenges arise when using the two-step mirror method due to asymmetry between the mirror and main support configurations. Selecting an appropriate angle for the single strut is crucial to minimize interference with the model. Additionally, there is a query regarding the credibility of different wall pressure signature methods.

I will do research on the vertical single strut. i want to ask if there is something interesting to study?

What exactly do you mean by "the vertical strut"? Are you talking about a pole sticking out of the wind tunnel floor? It certainly doesn't sound very interesting. If you want to do research it might be better if you have some ideas of your own and then we can help you improve the idea or give suggestions about how to carry out the research.
 
1.i want to use the engineering method to evaluate the support interference value. i think the sigularity method may be valid, but i don't know how to simulate and decompose the support effect.
2.when i do the two step mirrior method to measure the support interference , the mirror and the main support are not symmetrical and same in configuration. how to explan it .
3. there is a preset angle of the single strut, how to choose the angle in accordance with the model to minimize the strut interference.
 
also i want to ask the wall presure signature methods. which one is more credible.
 
Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
