Turbulence measurements by means of a fast-response pressure probe
One of possible methods of using a fast-response pressure probe for measuring turbulent flow parameters is described. Recommendations on the probe calibration related to limit of the method’s applicability by Reynolds number (Re) of the flow and confidence frequency range of velocity pulsations by Strouhal number for a probe of this type are provided. Results of measuring turbulent flow parameters using the fast-response pressure probe and a thermal anemometer at different values of Reynolds number in range Re = (1…6)×104 (Re number is defined for the typical size of 10 mm) are compared.Keywords: fast-response pressure probe, thermal anemometer, turbulence, Reynolds number, Strouhal number

Emission assessment of supersonic aircraft engines
The paper presents results of computational and analytical estimation for emission of NOx, CO, HC, nonvolatile particulate matter (nvPM) and smoke (SN) for two turbofan engines, which are considered as advanced engines for supersonic civil aircraft (SCA). For the first engine, the NOx emission near the airport (SLTO) and in the cruise flight with Мf=1,8 was calculated using the engine’s internal parameters. Possibility of using standard subsonic LTO thrust settings in such calculations is estimated for potential engines of next generation SCA. For the second engine based on the CFM56-7B core, a similar analysis was carried out for CO, HС, and partially for nvPM and SN emissions using ICAO engine emission database. All assessments are compared with existing ICAO standards for SCA.Keywords: ICAO standards, supersonic passenger aircraft, emissions, emission index, emission parameter, combustor
