    Description: The Langley Research Center has a concentrated and directed effort under way to develop both conventional and non-intrusive diagnostic instrumentation. These instruments are being developed to operate over large Mach number, total temperature, and total pressure ranges. Efforts are being made to evaluate the measurements made by the various instruments to determine the most accurate and reliable instrument to be used under a given flow environment. Although only one flow visualization technique was described, there are many different types presently being used at Langley Research Center.

    Description: Tollmien-Schlichting (TS) and cross-flow (CF) instability growth characteristics were studied in three dimensions, for the case of a Mach 2.4 SST with double-delta planform whose inboard leading-edge is subsonic and outboard leading-edge is supersonic. Attention is given to the requirements for supersonic speed laminarization of both highly swept, rounded leading-edge wings and moderately-swept, sharp leading-edge wings. Suction requirements for the control of both TS and CF instabilities are calculated; it is found that while mild suction and surface cooling are effective in TS-instability damping, the CF influence of such techniques is rather weak. CF instability control must be via pressure-distribution tailoring and suction.

    Description: A computational method for designing shock-free, quasi-three-dimensional, transonic, turbomachinery blades is described. Shock-free designs are found by implementing Sobieczky's fictitious gas principle in the analysis of a baseline shape, resulting in an elliptic solution that is incorrect in the supersonic domain. Shock-free designs are obtained by combining the subsonic portion of this solution with a characteristic calculation of the correct supersonic flow using the sonic line data from the fictitious elliptic solution. This provides a new, shock-free blade design. Examples presented include the removal of shocks from two blades in quasi-three-dimensional flow and the development of a series of shock-free two-dimensional stators. The new designs all include modifications to the upper surface of an experimental stator blade developed at NASA Lewis Research Center. While the designs presented here are for inviscid flow, the same concepts have been successfully applied to the shock-free design of airfoils and three-dimensional wings with viscous effects. The extension of the present method to viscous flows is straightforward given a suitable analysis algorithm for the flow.

    Description: After the STS 51-L accident, an extensive review of the Space Shuttle Orbiter's ascent aerodynamic loads uncovered several questionable areas that required further analysis. The insight gained by comparing the Shuttle ascent CFD numerical simulations, obtained by the NASA Ames Space Shuttle Flow Simulation Group, to the current IVBC-3 aerodynamic loads database was instrumental in resolving uncertainties on the Orbiter payload bay doors and fuselage. Initial confidence in the numerical simulations was gained by comparing them with the limited flight data that had been obtained during the Orbiter Flight Test (OFT) program. Current CFD results exist for Mach numbers 0.6, 0.9, 1.05, 1.55, 2.0, and 2.5. Since the pre STS-1 wind tunnel test program (IA-105) often yields considerable differences when compared to STS-5 flight data, the M(sub infinity) = 1.05 transonic case is the most investigated. The IA308 mated-vehicle hot gas plume wind tunnel test, recently completed at AEDC 16T (transonic) and Lewis (hypersonic), is also used to compare with the computation where applicable.

    Description: Several computational studies are currently being pursued that focus on various aspects of representing the entire lifetime of the viscous trailing vortex wakes generated by an aircraft. The formulation and subsequent near-wing development of the leading-edge vortices formed by a delta wing are being calculated at modest Reynolds numbers using a three-dimensional, time-dependent Navier-Stokes code. Another computational code was developed to focus on the roll-up, trajectory, and mutual interaction of trailing vortices further downstream from the wing using a two-dimensional, time-dependent, Navier-Stokes algorithm. To investigate the effect of a cross-wind ground shear flow on the drift and decay of the far-field trailing vortices, a code was developed that employs Euler equations along with matched asymptotic solutions for the decaying vortex filaments. And finally, to simulate the conditions far down stream after the onset of the Crow instability in the vortex wake, a full three-dimensional, time-dependent Navier-Stokes code was developed to study the behavior of interacting vortex rings.

    Description: Computational and experimental performance benefits are presented for a high-aspect-ratio unswept wing configuration with sheared tips. The sheared tip is a highly swept and highly tapered surface located in the same plane as the inboard wing panel to which it is attached. The compuational results were obtained with an inviscid surface panel method that models the nonlinear influence of the trailing wake. Both wind-tunnel and calculated results were obtained for a 12-ft span wing model with various wing-tip configurations. The computational and experimental data are in fair agreement and demonstrate that sheared wing tips can reduce induced drag at cruise and climb lift coefficients. The drag reduction is the result of wake deformation effects and changes in spanwise load distribution. Wind-tunnel measured longitudinal and lateral directional stability characteristics are also presented for the various wing-tip layouts.

    Description: The development and application of transonic small disturbance codes for computing two dimensional flows, using the code ATRAN2, and for computing three dimensional flows, using the code ATRAN3S, are described. Calculated and experimental results are compared for unsteady flows about airfoils and wings, including several of the cases from the AGARD Standard Aeroelastic Configurations. In two dimensions, the results include AGARD priority cases for the NACA 54A006, NACA 64A010, NACA 0012, and MBB-A3 airfoils. In three dimensions, the results include flow about the F-5 wing, a typical wing, and the AGARD rectangular wings. Viscous corrections are included in some calculations, including those for the AGARD rectangular wing. For several cases, the aerodynamic and aeroelastic calculations are compared with experimental results.
