    Vortex lattice prediction of subsonic aerodynamics of hypersonic vehicle concepts (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: The vortex lattice method introduced by Lamar and Gloss (1975) was applied to the prediction of subsonic aerodynamic characteristics of hypersonic body-wing configurations. The reliability of the method was assessed through comparison of the calculated and observed aerodynamic performances of two National Hypersonic Flight Research Facility craft at Mach 0.2. The investigation indicated that a vortex lattice model involving 120 or more panel elements can give good results for the lift and induced drag coefficients of the craft, as well as for the pitching moment at angles of attack below 10 to 15 deg. Automated processes for calculating the local slopes of mean-camber surfaces may also render the method suitable for use in preliminary design phases.

    Application of laser velocimetry to aircraft wake-vortex measurements (1977)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: The theory and use of a laser velocimeter that makes simultaneous measurements of vertical and longitudinal velocities while rapidly scanning a flow field laterally are described, and its direct application to trailing wake-vortex research is discussed. Pertinent measurements of aircraft wake-vortex velocity distributions obtained in a wind tunnel and water towing tank are presented. The utility of the velocimeter to quantitatively assess differences in wake velocity distributions due to wake dissipating devices and span loading changes on the wake-generating model is also demonstrated.

    Aerodynamic characteristics at Mach numbers from 0.33 to 1.20 of a wing-body design concept for a hypersonic research airplane (1977)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: An experimental investigation of the static aerodynamic characteristics of a model of one design concept for the proposed National Hypersonic Flight Research Facility was conducted in the Langley 8 foot transonic pressure tunnel. The experiment consisted of configuration buildup from the basic body by adding a wing, center vertical tail, and a three module or six module scramjet engine. The freestream test Mach numbers were 0.33, 0.80, 0.90, 0.95, 0.98, 1.10, and 1.20 at Reynolds numbers per meter ranging from 4.8 x 1 million to 10.4 x 1 million. The test angle of attack range was approximately -4 deg to 22 deg at constant angles of sideslip of 0 deg and 4 deg; the angle of sideslip ranged from about -6 deg to 6 deg at constant angles of attack of 0 deg and 17 deg. The elevons were deflected 0 deg, -10 deg, and -20 deg with rudder deflections of 0 deg and 15.6 deg.

    Low-speed wind tunnel investigation of an advanced supersonic cruise arrow-wing configuration (1977)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: A preliminary assessment of possible means for improving the low speed aerodynamic characteristics of advanced supersonic cruise arrow wing configurations and to extend the existing data base of such configurations has been made. Principle configuration variables included wing-leading and trailing-edge flap deflection, fuselage nose strakes, and engine exhaust nozzle deflection. Results showed that deflecting the wing leading edge apex flaps downward provided improved longitudinal stability but resulted in reduced directional stability. The model exhibited relatively low values of directional stability over the operational angle of attack range and experienced large asymmetric yawing moments at high angles of attack. The use of nose strakes was found to be effective in increasing the directional stability and eliminating the asymmetric yawing moment.

    Computation of viscous transonic flow about a lifting airfoil (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: The Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved numerically for the viscous transonic flow about a stationary NACA 64A010 airfoil in free air. This paper presents descriptions of the numerical method, turbulence models employed, and boundary conditions appropriate to simulation of free-air flight. Computed results are presented for the airfoil at a free-stream Mach number of 0.8, angles of attack of 0 and 2 deg, and a Reynolds number based on a chord of 4 x 10 to the 6th. For the lifting case, unsteady periodic motion was calculated along the aft portion of the airfoil and in its wake. Recent experimental results obtained by Johnson indicate periodicity aft of the shock closely approximates the computed frequency, but the amplitude of the disturbances was significantly less than the calculated amplitude.

    Compliant wall surface motion and its effect on the structure of a turbulent boundary layer (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: The status of the continuing compliant wall drag reduction research at NASA-Langley Research Center is discussed. Preliminary surface motion calculations are reported along with compliant surface design concepts and their numerical models. A compliant drag reduction theory based on stabilizing the turbulent substructure is proposed and previous experiments have been examined relative to that theory. Results of recent low speed compliant surface experiments have been reported which include initial attempts to measure local compliant surface motion.

    An experimental and computational investigation of the steady and unsteady transonic flow fields about an airfoil in a solid-wall test channel (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: An experimental and computational investigation of the steady and unsteady transonic flow field about a thick airfoil is described. An operational computer code for solving the two-dimensional, compressible Navier-Stokes equations for flow over airfoils was modified to include solid-wall, slipflow boundary conditions to properly assess the code and help guide the development of improved turbulence models. Steady and unsteady flow fields about an 18% thick circular arc airfoil at Mach numbers of 0.720, 0.754, and 0.783 and a chord Reynolds number of 11 x 10 to the 6th are predicted and compared with experiment. For the first time, computed results for unsteady turbulent flows with separation caused by a shock wave were obtained which qualitatively reproduce the time-dependent aspects of experiments. Features such as the intensity and reduced frequency of airfoil surface-pressure fluctuations, oscillatory regions of trailing-edge and shock-induced separation, and the Mach number range for unsteady flows were all qualitatively reproduced.

    Apparatus for experimental investigation of aerodynamic radiation with absorption by ablation products (1977)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: A description is given and calibration procedures are presented for an apparatus that is used to simulate aerodynamic radiant heating during planetary entry. The primary function of the apparatus is to simulate the spectral distribution of shock layer radiation and to determine absorption effects of simulated ablation products which are injected into the stagnation region flow field. An electric arc heater is used to heat gas mixtures that represent the planetary atmospheres of interest. Spectral measurements are made with a vacuum ultraviolet scanning monochromator.

    Pressure distributions on a 1- by 3-meter semispan wing with a nonstreamwise tip in subsonic flow (1977)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: Pressure distributions on a 1- by 3-meter semispan wing with a tip that is streamwise at 0 deg sweep are presented. The tip becomes nonstreamwise as the wing is swept. At 0 deg sweep angle, the semispan wing has a taper ratio of 1.0 and NACA 0012 airfoil section contours. The test was conducted in the Langley V/STOL tunnel at a freestream dynamic pressure of 2.46 kPa. Pressure distributions are presented for sweep angles of 10, 20, 30, and 40 with an angle of attack range from -6 deg to 20 deg. The data are presented without analysis or discussion.

    Preliminary analysis of remote infrared imagery of shuttle during entry: An aerothermodynamic flight experiment (1977)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: The preliminary feasibility of remote high-resolution infrared imagery of the space shuttle orbiter lower surface during entry to obtain accurate measurements of aerodynamic heat transfer to that vehicle was examined. In general, it was determined that such such images can be taken from an existing aircraft/telescope system (the C-141 AIRO) with a minimum modification or addition of systems using available technology. These images will have a spatial resolution of about 0.3 m and a temperature resolution much better than 2.5 percent. The data from these images will be at conditions and at a scale not reproducible in ground based facilities and should aid in the reduction of the prudent factors of safety required to account for phenomenological uncertainties on the thermal protection system design. Principal phenomena to be observed include laminar heating, boundary-layer transition, turbulent heating, surface catalysis, and flow separation and reattachment.
