Abstract

It’s important to measure inlet total pressure field for aeroengine. Firstly, test scheme is discussed. Three pectinate total pressure probes, which can be rotated with an additional straight ring segment around the engine axis, are used to measure the total pressure field. The radial distribution of test points is designed via Tchebycheff integral method. Radial average and circumferential average are calculated according to the field data via area averaging method. At last the total pressure field is visualized via mapping the data to colors. Test results show that the total pressure distribution in main airflow is evener than that in boundary layers and the thickness of inner and outer ring boundary layer can be estimated.
