Wind tunnel actuation movement system
In this dissertation project, an actuation system was designed for the supersonic wind tunnel at the University of Manchester. The aim of this project is to build a remote control actuation system which could adjust the angle of attack for the aerodynamic shape to save researchers' time and improve the experimental efficiency. This project involves the model supporting system, a six component wind tunnel balance, a control system design, a virtual angle of attack adjustment interface and LabVIEW programming implementation, the angle of attack adjustment range is from -20 to 20 degree. The three-dimensional model of the mechanical part and its engineering drawing were finished in SolidWorks, and the control system including the sensors and rotary encoder control, the closed-loop control of the stepper motor and the wind tunnel balance feedback. The performance of the wind tunnel balance can be known in advance by finite element analysis. Finally, the virtual operating system was built based on the LabVIEW and Arduino interactive programs
