AIAC Store Separation Workshop Ankara Turkey Sept 20-22, 2017

Purpose: Determine Best Practice for Store Separation


1. CTS wind tunnel testing is useless for determining safe separation
a) flight tests occur at different conditions
b) ejector forces are different in flight
c) mass properties may be different and should be measured
d) aero coefficients are different – parametric variations
2. Why do we do use CTS?
a) determine proper size and scope of grid test
b) validate grid size
c) reduce size of grid test
d) make sure your pre-test predictions make sense
3. Purpose of the workshop
a) See if different users of SDoF code get the same answers
b) Compare SDoF codes using the same wind tunnel freestream and grid data
c) Determine how wind tunnel testing for cavities could be improved
d) Determine ejector forces
d) Most important mistakes made – share experience

How Will the Worship Work?

Generic cavity wind tunnel data provided [1,2,3,4]. Given:
1. MK-82 freestream Data
2. MK-82 grid data cavity
3. MK-82 mass properties and geometry (Appendix A)
4, Cavity Dimensions length = 15.73’ width = 4.33’ depth = 2.925’ feet full scale (L/D=5.38)
5. Given initial conditions M = 0.85, Alpha = 0.0 Altitude = 0.0
Cavity origin located at upper right-hand corner X = Y = Z = 0 store at XFS = -11.0, YBL = -0.6, ZWL = 0.53
a) X = 0, Y = 0, Z =0. 53 U = 0, V = 0, W = 0 FPS, P=0, Q = 0. R = 0 deg/sec
b) X = 0, Y = 0, Z =0. 53 U = 0, V = 0, W = 30 FPS, P=0, Q = -40 deg/sec, R = 0
c) X = 0, Y = 0, Z = 0.53 U = 0, V = 0, W = 0, nominal ejector profile, find minimal ejector force

XFS = -11.0, YBL = -0.6, ZWL = 0.53 X= 0, Y=0, Z = 0

D = 2.925’ depth = 2.925

width = 4.33”
W = 4.33’
