A comparison of experimental and theoretical turbulence reduction from screens, honeycomb and honeycomb-screen combinations
1980
A 1/2-scale model of a portion of the NASA Langley 8-foot transonic pressure tunnel was used to conduct some turbulence reduction research. The experimental results are correlated with various theories. Screens alone reduce axial turbulence more than the lateral turbulence; whereas, honeycomb alone reduce lateral turbulence more than axial turbulence. Because of this difference, the physical mechanism for decreasing turbulence for screens and honeycomb must be completely different. Honeycomb with a downstream screen is an excellent combination for reducing turbulence.
