Abstract
Bi-luminophore Pressure-Sensitive Paint (bi-PSP) has been developed in order to correct the error due to temperature dependence of PSP and increase PSP measurement accuracy. The bi-PSP was composed of pressure- and temperature-sensitive dye. Tetranuclear europium (III) complexes and PdTFPP were used as temperature- and pressure- sensitive dye, respectively. The luminescence intensity of the Eu complex was highly sensitive to temperature and insensitive to pressure. The bi-PSP was examined using a painted coupon and its characteristics were clarified. As a verification test, pressure distributions on a supersonic transport (SST) model at low-speed flow were acquired by the bi-PSP measurement system. The root mean square of Cp at 50m/s was approximately 0.1 (150 Pa) at flow speed of 50m/s, indicating that this bi-PSP system can measure more accurately pressure than conventional pressure conversion technique using reference PSP images immediately after stop of wind tunnel free stream.
