Mathematical Modeling of Air Pressure Probes as Part of Air Data System
Incoming article date: 03.09.2019The article presents the theoretical foundations of altimetry and measurement of airspeed and mathematical models of air pressure probes as part of air data system. The influence of external destabilizing factors, such as deformation of the flow near the aircraft fuselage due to action of Environmental Control System to functioning of aviation devices is considered. The calculation of the external flow around the fuselage of the aircraft to determine the pressure values at the installations locations of the air pressure probes. Applying the numerical research results and analytical methods, were calculated the values of altitude and registered calibrated airspeed for each air pressure probe. Conclusions are drawn about the effect of Environmental Control System for pressure perception by air pressure probe. ANSYS CFX software was used for modeling and engineering calculations of the external air flow around the aircraft fuselage.
