Lift Hysteresis at Stall as an Unsteady Boundary-Layer Phenomenon

Description: "Analysis of rotating stall of compressor blade rows requires specification of a dynamic lift curve for the airfoil section at or near stall, presumably including the effect of lift hysteresis. Consideration of the Magnus lift of a rotating cylinder suggests performing an unsteady boundary-layer calculation to find the movement of the separation points of an airfoil fixed in a stream of variable incidence. The consideration of the shedding of vorticity into the wake should yield an estimate of … more

Spectra and diffusion in a round turbulent jet

Description: "In a round turbulent jet at room temperature, measurement of the shear correlation coefficient as a function of frequency (through band-pass filters) has given a rather direct verification of Kolmogoroff's local-isotropy hypothesis. One-dimensional power spectra of velocity and temperature fluctuations, measured in unheated and heated jets, respectively, have been contrasted. Under the same conditions, the two corresponding transverse correlation functions have been measured and compared" (p. … more

Formation and Combustion of Smoke in Laminar Flames

Description: "The nature and formation of smoke and its combustion were investigated. Smoke, which consist of tiny mesomorphous crystals tightly packed into popcorn-ball-like particles that agglomerate to give filaments, was found to contain about 5 percent of the hydrogen originally present in the fuel. Factors affecting smoke formation were studied in both diffusion flames and premixed Bunsen flames. It is suggested that smoking tendency increases with increasing stability of the carbon skeleton of the mo… more

Effect of an Autopilot Sensitive to Yawing Velocity on the Lateral Stability of the Douglas D-558-II Airplane

Description: A theoretical investigation has been made to determine the effect on the lateral stability of the Douglas D-58-II airplane of an autopilot sensitive to yawing velocity. The effects of inclination of the gyro spin axis to the flight path and of tire lag in the autopilot were also determined. The flight conditions investigated included landing at sea level, approach condition at 12,000 feet, and cruising at 50,000 feet at Mach numbers of 0.80 and 1.2. The results of the investigation indicated th… more

Large-Scale Flight Measurements of Zero-Lift Drag at Mach Numbers from 0.90 to 1.95 of 1/14-Scale Model of the Northrop MX-775B Pilotless Aircraft with Small Body

Description: A flight test was made a t high subsonic, transonic, and supersonic speeds and at high Reynolds numbers to determine the zero-lift drag of a 1/14-scale model of the Northrop MX-775B pilotless aircraft with small small body. The triangular wing of the model had 67.5 deg leading-edge sweep and 15 deg. trailing-edge sweep, The wing airfoil sections were modified NACA 0004 sections. The drag coefficient based on total wing area was 0.0107 at Mach number 1.60. At transonic speeds the maximum drag co… more

Investigation of a triangular wing in conjunction with a fuselage and horizontal tail to determine downwash and longitudinal-stability characteristics: transonic bump method

Description: Report presenting the results of an experimental investigation of the downwash and longitudinal stability characteristics of a semispan, triangular-wing airplane model with a horizontal tail. Lift, drag, and pitching-moment data re presented for the wing-fuselage combination. Results indicated that the model with the tail on or below the wing-chord plane possessed satisfactory stability characteristics throughout the test range of lift coefficient.

Free-Spinning-Tunnel Investigation to Determine the Effect of Two Nose Designs on Spin and Recovery Characteristics of a 1/20-Scale Model of the McDonnel XF3H-1 Airplane: TED No. NACA DE 343

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation in the 20-foot free-spinning tunnel on a 1/20-scale model to determine the effect of two alternate nose designs on the spin and recovery characterstics of the McDonnel XF3H-1 airplane. The results indicated that, in order to insure satisfactory recovery from any developed spin obtained in the airplane with either of the two alternate nose designs, it may be necessary to use ailerons deflected with the spin in conjunction with rudder reversal, as was the ca… more

An Investigation of the Hydrodynamic Characteristics of a 1/10-Size Powered Dynamic Model of the Martin M-267 Patrol-Type Seaplane with Two Forebody Configurations: TED No. NACA DE 376

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the hydrodynamic characteristics of a scale powered dynamic model of a patrol-type seaplane designed by the Glenn L. Martin Company. The seaplane had a high-aspect-ratio wing and a T-tail with an all-movable stabilizer. A comparison was made between two forebody configurations, one with a sharp forebody keel in cross section and the other with the forebody cross section rounded in the vicinity of the keel.

Visualization of rotor tip secondary flows with blade tip air discharge and suction in a low-speed turbine

Description: Smoke was used to visualize outer-wall secondary flows in a low-speed turbine utilizing rotor tip air discharge and suction. Photographs as well as visual observations of the effect of tip air discharge and suction were made by independently varying the direction and quantity of the tip air discharge and suction, and varying tip clearance, and main-stream air speed. In addition, the cross-sectional area of the hollow blade discharge opening was varied for the case of tip air discharge.

Performance Characteristics of an Axial-Flow Transonic Compressor Operating Up to Tip Relative Inlet Mach Number of 1.34

Description: Performance data are presented for a transonic axial-flow compressor rotor designed to operate at a tip speed of 1300 ft/sec with maximum relative tip Mach number of 1.37. The compressor had an inlet diameter of 16 inches, a hub-tip diameter ratio of 0.5 and design specific weight flow of 31.1 (lb/sec/(sq ft frontal area). Experimental values of relative total-pressure-loss coefficient were considerably higher than the assumed values. This disparity, hub choking, and application of the simple r… more

A Theory for Primary Failure of Straight Centrally Loaded Columns

Description: "A theory of primary failure of straight centrally loaded columns is presented. It is assumed that the column cross section and the load are constant throughout the length. Primary failure is defined as any type of failure in which the cross sections are translated, rotated, or translated and rotated but not distorted in their own planes" (p. 141).
