X-Ray Diffraction by Bent Crystal Lamellae

Description: Note presenting an overview of bent crystal lamellae, which may consist of individual blocks, spaced somewhat irregularly and with a mutual angular disorientation. In this case, the x-ray intensities of the individual blocks will simply be added. A study was done to determine if there was any difference between diffraction by a bent lamella and by an array of irregularly spaced blocks arranged in a circle.

X-Ray Diffraction Study of the Internal Structure of Supercooled Water

Description: From Summary: "A Bragg X-ray spectrometer equipped with a volume-sensitive Geiger counter and Soller slits and employing filtered molybdenum Ka radiation was used to obtain a set of diffracted intensity curves as a Punction of angle for supercooled water. Diffracted intensity curves in the temperature region of 21 to -16 C were obtained. The minimum between the two main diffraction peaks deepened continuously with lowering temperature, indicating a gradual change in the internal structure of th… more

X-Ray Instrumentation for Density Measurements in a Supersonic Flow Field

Description: Report describing an instrument based on the principle that an x-ray beam is essentially undeviated while traversing a short path in air. It was used to measure the product of air density and the path length in the 10- by 14-inch supersonic wind tunnel. The measurements obtained were accomplished by comparing the intensity of two beams from the same X-ray source.

The zero-lift drag of a 60 degree delta-wing-body combination (AGARD model 2) obtained from free-flight tests between Mach numbers of 0.8 and 1.7

Description: From Summary: "The zero-lift drag of a 60 degree delta-wing-body combination (designated AGARD model 2) has been determined by free-flight tests of two models between Mach numbers of 0.8 and 1.7. These Mach numbers correspond to Reynolds numbers, based on body length, of 4 x 10(exp 6) and 12 x 10(exp 6), respectively. An estimate of the drag of the configuration was made by summing the estimates of the drag of the various components. The agreement between measured and estimated drag is good."

The zero-lift drag of a slender body of revolution (NACA RM-10 research model) as determined from tests in several wind tunnels and in flight at supersonic speeds

Description: Presents zero-lift drag data of an NACA RM-10 slender body of revolution with and without stabilizing fins attached. The results from several wind tunnels and in flight are compared. The results cover a Reynolds number range from about 1 time 10 to the 6th power to 40 times 10 to the 6th power for the flight models. The Mach numbers covered include 1.5 to 2.4 in the wind tunnels and 0.85 to 2.5 in flight.

The Zero-Lift Wave Drag of a Particular Family of Unswept, Tapered Wings With Linearly Varying Thickness Ratio

Description: Report presenting the zero-lift wave drag of a particular family of unswept, tapered wings with linearly varying thickness ratio and symmetrical parabolic-arc sections. It is found that the variable-thickness-ratio wings can be used to advantage with no serious structural penalties if the wings have the same given root thickness ratio or internal volume. Results regarding the given frontal area and given volume are provided.
