An analysis of base pressure at supersonic velocities and comparison with experiment

Description: From Introduction: "The primary purpose of the investigation described in the present report is to formulate a method which is of value for quantitative calculations of base pressure on airfoils and bodies without boat-tailing. Part I consists of a detailed study of the base pressure in two-dimensional and axially-symmetric inviscid flow. In part II a semi-empirical theory is formulated since the results of part I indicate that an inviscid-flow theory cannot possibly be satisfactory for quantit… more

Analytical and Experimental Investigation of Adiabatic Turbulent Flow in Smooth Tubes

Description: Note presenting equations derived for the prediction of velocity distributions for fully developed adiabtic turbulent flow in smooth tubes; both the incompressible and compressible flow cases were treated. The analysis produced a single equation that represents flow in both the conventional buffer layer and the laminar layer. The results for fully developed flow were correlated by using conventional dimensionless velocity and distance parameters, and agreed closely with those of Nikuradse and o… more

Approximate aerodynamic influence coefficients for wings of arbitrary plan form in subsonic flow

Description: From Summary: "Aerodynamic influence coefficients for symmetrically loaded wings of arbitrary plan form in subsonic flow are derived from a simple empirical method of estimating spanwise lift distributions. The application of the coefficients to an aeroelastic analysis is discussed."

Boundary-Layer Transition on a Cooled 20 Degree Cone at Mach Numbers of 1.5 and 2.0

Description: Note presenting an investigation of the laminar boundary layer on a cooled 20 degree cone at Mach numbers of 1.5 and 2.0 to determine the variation of the position of transition with surface temperature for both constant surface temperatures and surface temperatures that increased toward the rear of the cone. The increase in the extent of the laminar boundary layer for uniform surface temperatures was found to be directly proportional to the difference between the surface and recovery temperatu… more

The calculation of downwash behind wings of arbitrary plan form at supersonic speeds

Description: Report presenting exact and approximate methods based on linearized supersonic flow theory for the calculation of the velocity potential and the downwash from thin wings of arbitrary plan form. The applicability of the method inherently depends on a knowledge of the load distribution over the plan form of the wing.

The calculation of modes and frequencies of a modified structure from those of the unmodified structure

Description: Report presenting a method that has been developed for the calculation of the natural coupled or uncoupled frequencies and modes of a structure with modifications directly from the known modes and frequencies of the unmodified structure. The method is advantageous when the modes and frequencies of the unmodified structure either are known or are required along with the modes and frequencies of the structure with various modifications.

Calculation of Transonic Flows Past Thin Airfoils by Integral Method

Description: Note presenting a method of calculating two-dimensional compressible flows past thin airfoils with particular reference to the transonic speed range. The method is based on the integral form of the equation of continuity and on the intrinsic form, in terms of the streamline curvature, of the irrotationality condition.

Comparison of Model and Full-Scale Spin Test Results for 60 Airplane Designs

Description: Note presenting the results of spin-tunnel investigations compared with corresponding full-scale results for 60 different airplane designs. The purpose of the comparison was to determine the reliability of the model results in predicting full-scale spin and recovery characteristics. Results regarding the recovery characteristics, angle of attack, rate of rotation, altitude loss per revolution, angle of wing tilt, and emergency spin-recovery parachutes are provided.

Development and Preliminary Investigation of a Method of Obtaining Hypersonic Aerodynamic Data by Firing Models Through Highly Cooled Gases

Description: Note presenting a method of investigating hypersonic aerodynamic phenomena by firing simple symmetrical models at high velocity through a very cold gas with a low sonic velocity. Schileren photographs and focused shadowgraphs were taken of cylindrical models with conical forebodies with apex angles of 30, 45, and 60 degrees.

Effect of Intense Sound Waves on a Stationary Gas Flame

Description: Intense sound waves with a resonant frequency of 5000 cycles per second were imposed on a stationary propane-air flame issuing from a nozzle. In addition to a slight increase of the flame velocity, a fundamental change both in the shape of the burning zone and in the flow pattern could be observed. An attempt is made to explain the origin of the variations in the flame configuration on the basis of transition at the nozzle from jet flow to potential flow.

Effect of Variation in Rivet Diameter and Pitch on the Average Stress at Maximum Load for 24S-T3 and 75S-T6 Aluminum-Alloy, Flat, Z-Stiffened Panels That Fail by Local Instability

Description: "A study is made of the effect of variation in diameter and pitch of A17S-T4 aluminum-alloy flat-head rivets on the average stress at maximum load for 24S-T3 and 75S-T6 aluminum-alloy, flat, Z-stiffened panels that fail by local instability. A curve is presented for determining the diameter and pitch required to insure the development of a given average stress for local instability" (p. 1).

Estimation of the damping in roll of supersonic-leading-edge wing-body combinations

Description: From Summary: "A description is given of a linear-theory method for the estimation of the damping in roll of supersonic-leading-edge wings mounted on cylindrical bodies. The error resulting from an approximation essential to the method is shown to be small. The damping in roll is calculated for configurations having rectangular and triangular wings; for most of the range of variables the net effect of the body is to decrease the damping in roll."
