AI Thread Summary
Reference data on pressure distribution for pods under fuselages is not readily available, as it is closely tied to specific aircraft design and fuel economy considerations. Engaging with airframe manufacturers, particularly Cessna, may yield useful insights, especially regarding models like the Citation X. Conducting computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations is suggested as a viable alternative for obtaining relevant data. The need for reference data is emphasized to support CFD results. Overall, accessing proprietary information may be challenging, and self-conducted simulations could be more efficient.

Dear all,

I am working on a thesis right now and looking for the reference data regarding to the pressure distribution on this kind of pod (or similar structure) under the fuselage.
Is there any people can give me some hints to find those data? Thanks a lot~

You're going to have to talk to an airframer for that. I can't imagine something like that is going to be readily available. The design of features like that has such an impact on fuel economy that it may be like pulling teeth. I would recommend contacting someone with Cessna. I know their Citation X has the same feature under its fuselage.

I wonder if you might be better off just trying to do some of your own CFD. It would probably be quicker. Good luck.
 
CFD is what I am going to do, this is the reason I need some reference data to support my result. Thanks~

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
