Convective flow analysis on the KC-135 aircraft

Abstract

A study conducting bouyancy driven convective flow experiments on the NASA KC-135 aircraft is presented. The response of a contained fluid (with an imposed temperature gradient) to changing g-levels during parabolic flight was obtained. Models for both transient and steady state flows were developed utilizing PC-based CFD software. Comparisons between the theoretical models and the physical observations are quite good.
