Comparison of Semi-Empirical Single Point Wall Pressure Spectrum Models with Experimental Data

摘要

This study presents an evaluation of semi-empirical single-point wall pressure spectrum models by comparing model predictions with wind tunnel and flight test data. The mean squared error was used to compare the power spectral density of the wall pressure fluctuations predicted by semi-empirical models with a large amount of experimental data. Results show that the models proposed by Goody and Smol’yakov have the lowest mean squared error when predicting the power spectral density for wind tunnel experiments and the Rackl and Weston model has the lowest mean squared error when predicting the power spectral density for flight test data. In addition, although current studies of the power spectra obtained in the wind tunnel are similar, they are not generally an accurate representation of flight test experiments.
