Abstract

A computer code was developed to implement methods of analyzing unsteady pressure measurements acquired from a wing model immersed in transonic flow. The code uses the fast Fourier Transform to identify phase changes and magnitudes of dominant frequencies over time in the unsteady pressure coefficients. The transformed data, as well as the raw data, are graphed and the results explained in detail identifying features depicted in the graphs. Also, the code performs some simple statistical calculations and smoothes the data to remove insignificant noise in the signal, if desired.
