    On wake vortex alleviation (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2006-01-11
    Description: Research within NASA relating to the nature of lift-induced vortex wakes behind large aircraft and the means whereby the hazard they represent to smaller aircraft can be alleviated is reviewed. The research, carried out in ground based facilities and in flight shows that more rapid dispersion of the wake can be effected by several means and that the modification of span-loading by appropriate flap deflection holds promise of early practical application.

    Trends in aircraft noise control (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2006-01-11
    Description: Flight vehicles are characterized according to their manner of operation and type of propulsion system; and their associated sources of noise are identified. Available noise reduction technology as it relates to engine cycle design and to powerplant component design is summarized. Such components as exhaust jets, fans, propellers, rotors, blown flaps, and reciprocating-engine exhausts are discussed, along with their noise reduction potentials. Significant aircraft noise reductions are noted to have been accomplished by the application of available technology in support of noise certification rules. Further noise reductions to meet more stringent future noise regulations will require substantial additional technology developments. Improved analytical prediction methods, and well-controlled validation experiments supported by advanced-design aeroacoustic facilities, are required as a basis for an effective integrated systems approach to aircraft noise control.

    An experimental and numerical investigation of shock wave induced turbulent boundary layer separation at hypersonic speeds (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-10-14
    Description: A thoroughly documented experiment is reported that was specifically designed to test and guide computations of the interaction of an impinging shock wave with a turbulent boundary layer. Detailed mean flow field and surface data are presented for two shock strengths which resulted in attached and separated flows, respectively. Numerical computations are used to illustrate the dependence of the computations on the particulars of the turbulence models. Models appropriate for zero pressure gradient flows predicted the overall features of the flow fields, but were deficient in predicting many of the details of the interaction regions. Improvements to the turbulence model parameters were sought through a combination of detailed data analysis and computer simulations which tested the sensitivity of the solutions to model parameter changes. Computer simulations using these improvements are presented and discussed.

    On the calculation of supersonic separating and reattaching flows (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-10-14
    Description: A method is developed for solving the laminar and turbulent compressible boundary layer equations for separating and reattaching flows. Results of this method are compared with experimental data for two laminar and three turbulent layer, shock wave interactions. Several Navier-Stokes solutions are obtained for each of the laminar boundary layer, shock wave interactions considered. Comparison of these solutions indicates a first order sensitivity in C sub f to the computational mesh selected in both the viscous and inviscid portions of the flow. Comparison of the present boundary layer solutions with the Navier-Stokes solutions and with data for a given Mach number indicates that as long as the separation bubble is small, the boundary layer approximation yields solutions whose accuracy is comparable to the Navier-Stokes solutions.

    The transformation of aerodynamic stability derivatives by symbolic mathematical computation (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: The formulation of mathematical models of aeronautical systems for simulation or other purposes, involves the transformation of aerodynamic stability derivatives. It is shown that these derivatives transform like the components of a second order tensor having one index of covariance and one index of contravariance. Moreover, due to the equivalence of covariant and contravariant transformations in orthogonal Cartesian systems of coordinates, the transformations can be treated as doubly covariant or doubly contravariant, if this simplifies the formulation. It is shown that the tensor properties of these derivatives can be used to facilitate their transformation by symbolic mathematical computation, and the use of digital computers equipped with formula manipulation compilers. When the tensor transformations are mechanised in the manner described, man-hours are saved and the errors to which human operators are prone can be avoided.

    The low frequency sound from multipole sources in axisymmetric shear flows, with applications to jet noise (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: A closed-form solution for the sound radiation from multipole sources imbedded in an infinite cylindrical jet with an arbitrary velocity profile is obtained. It is valid in the limit where the wavelength is large compared with the jet radius. Simple formulae for the acoustic pressure field due to convected point sources are also obtained. The results show (in a simple way) how the mean flow affects the radiation pattern from the sources. For convected lateral quadrupoles it causes the exponent of the Doppler factor multiplying the far-field pressure signal to be increased from the value of 3 used by Lighthill to 5.

    Estimates of nonequilibrium radiation for Venus entry (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: The present investigation is an analysis of the radiation from the chemical nonequilibrium region in the shock layer about a vehicle during Venus entry. The radiation and the flow were assumed to be uncoupled. An inviscid, nonequilibrium flowfield was calculated and an effective electronic temperature was determined for the predominant radiating species. Species concentrations and electronic temperature were then input into a radiation transport code to calculate heating rates. The present results confirm earlier investigations which indicate that the radiation should be calculated using electronic temperatures for the radiating species. These temperatures are not related in a simple way to the local translational temperature. For the described mission, the nonequilibrium radiative heating rate is approximately twice the corresponding equilibrium value at peak heating.

    Bringing wings of change - NASA's airfoil research program (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: A review is presented of progress in attaining technical objectives in three areas of semiautomatic airfoil development: software, hardware, and applications. Software objectives seek improved mathematical models and computer codes for flow analysis and design optimization for a variety of conditions. The 17-step iterative computer model used in designing the GA (W)-1 airfoil is effective but not yet fully automated; with present methods only single-point computer optimization is possible. Hardware objectives calling for improvement in test facilities and techniques are met in part by the introduction of the Langley (F-3C) wind tunnel for independent evaluation of transonic Mach number and Reynolds effects up to 12-16 million, and by a two-dimensional test section for the Langley 1/3 transonic cryogenic tunnel which will extend the Reynolds number to 50 million. The current status of low-speed, thin, and rotorcraft airfoil development programs is discussed.

    Theoretical study of lift-generated vortex wakes designed to avoid rollup (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: Two hypothetical vortex wakes are introduced and studied theoretically to explore whether the rollup of lift-generated vortex sheets can be suppressed. The circulation distribution across each wake is specified such that one rotates and the other translates as a unit due to their self-induced velocities. Several span loadings are constructed from these solutions and the resulting inviscid wake structure is computed for several span lengths behind the generating wing by use of the discrete vortex method wherein the vortex wake is represented by an array of vortices. The final distribution of vortices is then used to estimate the rolling moment on an encountering wing. It is found that, even though the initial specified motions are not sustained, substantial reductions in rolling moment are predicted for certain ranges of the ratio of the span of the generating wing to the following wing.

    Numerical solutions for supersonic corner flow (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: Analytical solutions for inviscid supersonic corner flows are virtually nonexistent due to the complexity of the interference geometry. In view of this, numerical solutions for swept-compressive and swept-expansive corner flows are obtained. The governing equations are written in strong conservation-law form and are solved iteratively in nonorthogonal conical coordinates by use of a second-order, shock-capturing, finite-difference technique. The computed wave structure and surface pressure distributions are compared with high Reynolds number experimental data and show very good agreement. The results clearly show that supersonic corner flow at reasonably high Reynolds numbers including the effect of sweep is dominated by the inviscid field.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: An investigation was conducted regarding the issue of deviation from two-dimensionality in flowfield studies of a supercritical airfoil. It was found that significant three-dimensional effects occur in transonic airfoil tests, even for an aspect ratio of four. This is especially true at the supercritical Mach numbers, for which lateral propagation of disturbances is effective.

    Aerodynamic characteristics of the planetary atmosphere experiments test entry probe (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: The aerodynamic characteristics of the Planetary Atmosphere Experiments Test entry probe were determined experimentally in ballistic range tests over a wide range of Mach and Reynolds numbers, and were compared with full-scale flight results. The ground facility data agreed with the full-scale data within 2 to 3% in drag coefficient, and within 5 to 10% in static stability, at the higher Mach numbers. Comparisons of the flight data with conventional wind-tunnel data indicated a significant disagreement in drag coefficient in the transonic speed range suggestive of important sting or wall interference effects. Variations in drag coefficient with Mach number were very small hypersonically, but variations with Reynolds number were of the order of 15% at a free-stream Mach number of 13 over the Reynolds number range from 10,000 to 1,000,000. Variations in the lift and static-stability curves with Mach number and Reynolds number were also defined.

    On the computation of two- and three-dimensional steady transonic flows by relaxation methods (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: The paper is concerned with the application of the Murman and Cole (1971) relaxation scheme to steady, inviscid transonic flow problems in two and three dimensions. This scheme, which automatically accounts for weak shock waves, uses separate difference operators in elliptic and hyperbolic regions. The details of the scheme are described in terms of the original small disturbance formulation of Murman and Cole. In particular, Murman's recent (1973) introduction of fully conservative difference operators to obtain the correct shock jumps is examined. The extension to treating the exact isentropic equation is then covered with special attention given to Jameson's (to appear) rotated difference scheme for supersonic flow regions. The bulk of the discussion is related to two-dimensional procedures, and some comparisons with experiment are made, with emphasis on the effects of viscosity and wind-tunnel walls. Application of the Murman-Cole scheme is then discussed for small disturbances in three dimensions.

    Multiple slot skin friction reduction (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: The paper investigates analytically the effect of multiple slot injection on skin friction for a representative fuselage shape (ogive-cylinder body) and evaluates the potential of slot injection as a drag reduction system in subsonic flow. Typical CTOL cruise flight conditions (Mach number equals 0.82 at altitudes of 11 km) were adopted for a fuselage 67.06 m in length and with maximum diameter of 7.32 m. The numerical method of Price and Harris (1972) was used to calculate the boundary-layer characteristics up to the first slot, while the finite-difference method of Beckwith and Bushnell (1971) was used to calculate the velocity profile downstream of one, three, five, or ten slots. An integral expression is proposed for characterizing skin friction reduction effectiveness, and it is seen that large reductions in viscous drag (50%) are available through slot injection. Skin friction reduction is improved by increasing the number of injection slots but at a diminishing rate.

    Mach and Reynolds number effects on turbulent skin friction reduction by injection (1975)

    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: The investigation reported is concerned with questions regarding a possible Mach number influence on skin friction reduction caused by injection. The investigation shows that data considered by Danberg (1967) for the no-blowing skin friction coefficient are in error. Accurate profiles and local skin friction coefficient values are obtained when the influence of low Reynolds number amplification in the outer region of the boundary layer is included in a calculation method.

    The flow over a 'high' aspect ratio gothic wing at supersonic speeds (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: Results are presented of an experimental investigation on a nonconical wing which supports an attached shock wave over a region of the leading edge near the vertex and a detached shock elsewhere. The shock detachment point is determined from planform schlieren photographs of the flow field and discrepancies are shown to exist between this and the one calculated by applying the oblique shock equations normal to the leading edge. On a physical basis, it is argued that the shock detachment has to obey the two-dimensional law normal to the leading edges. From this, and from other measurements on conical wings, it is thought that the planform schlieren technique may not be particularly satisfactory for detecting shock detachment. Surface pressure distributions are presented and are explained in terms of the flow over related delta wings which are identified as a vertex delta wing and a local delta wing.

    Supersonic inlet contour interpolation (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: A method for designing supersonic inlet contours is described which consists in the interpolation of the contours of two known inlets designed for different Mach numbers, thereby determining the contours for a third inlet at an intermediate design Mach number. Several similar axisymmetric inlet contours were interpolated from known inlets with design Mach numbers ranging from 2.16 to 4.0 and with design Mach numbers differing by as much as 1.0. The flowfields were calculated according to Sorensen's (1965) computer program. Shockwave structure and pressure distribution characteristics are shown for the interpolated inlets. The validity of the interpolation is demonstrated by comparing the plots of the flowfield properties across the throat station of the interpolated inlet with the known inlets which were designed iteratively. It seems possible to write a computer program so that a matrix of known inlet contours can be interpolated.

Rational fractions are employed for series summation and analytic continuation. Angles of incidence up to 30 deg and Mach numbers as low as 2 have been considered. The maximum-entropy streamline will not wet the body surface in asymmetric flow. It may pass either above or below the stagnation streamline. Limit lines appear in the supersonic portion of the flow field, both in the shock layer and in its upstream analytic continuation.

    Description: The paper reviews the experimental data on the incipient separation characteristics of planar delta wings of 75 degree sharp leading edges, with full-span trailing edge flap deflected into the windward flow. The local Reynolds number range for these investigations covered laminar, transitional and turbulent conditions. It is shown that, while turbulent boundary layer data correlates with two dimensional results, in the laminar and transitional cases, there is a nearly parallel shift to higher flap angles for incipient separation.

    Forward marching procedure for separated boundary-layer flows (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: A forward-marching procedure for separated boundary-layer flows which permits the rapid and accurate solution of flows of limited extent is presented. The streamwise convection of vorticity in the reversed flow region is neglected, and this approximation is incorporated into a previously developed (Carter, 1974) inverse boundary-layer procedure. The equations are solved by the Crank-Nicolson finite-difference scheme in which column iteration is carried out at each streamwise station. Instabilities encountered in the column iterations are removed by introducing timelike terms in the finite-difference equations. This provides both unconditional diagonal dominance and a column iterative scheme, found to be stable using the von Neumann stability analysis.

    Description: Recently advanced simulation techniques have been developed for the digital computer and used as the basis for development of a generalized dynamic engine simulation computer program, called DYNGEN. This computer program can analyze the steady state and dynamic performance of many kinds of aircraft gas turbine engines. Without changes to the basic program, DYNGEN can analyze one- or two-spool turbofan engines. The user must supply appropriate component performance maps and design point information. Examples are presented to illustrate the capabilities of DYNGEN in the steady state and dynamic modes of operation. The analytical techniques used in DYNGEN are briefly discussed, and its accuracy is compared with a comparable simulation using the hybrid computer. The impact of DYNGEN and similar digital programs on future engine simulation philosophy is also discussed.

    An experimental study of jet exhaust simulation (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-05-22
    Description: Afterbody drag predictions for jet aircraft are usually made experimentally with the jet exhaust flow simulated. The physical gas properties of the fluid used for the model jet exhaust can affect the accuracy of simulation of the airplane's jet exhaust plume. The effect of the accuracy of this simulation on afterbody drag was investigated by wind-tunnel tests with single engine model. In addition to unheated air as the exhaust gas, the decomposition products of three different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide were utilized. The air jet simulation consistently resulted in higher boattail drag than hydrogen peroxide simulation. The differences in drag for the various exhaust gases are attributed to different plume shapes and entrainment properties of the gases. The largest differences in drag due to exhaust gas properties were obtained for the combination of high transonic Mach numbers and high boattail angles. For these conditions, the current data indicate that the use of air to simulate a nonafterburning turbojet exhaust can result in an increase in afterbody amounting to 20 percent of the nonafterburning turbojet value.

    Reynolds number effects on boattail drag of exhaust nozzles from wind tunnel and flight tests (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-05-22
    Description: A family of nacelle mounted high angle boattail nozzles was tested to investigate Reynolds number effects on drag. The nozzles were flown on a modified F-106B and mounted on scale models of an F-106 in a wind tunnel. A 19- to 1-range of Reynolds number was covered as a result of the large size differences between models and by flying over a range of altitude. In flight the nozzles were mounted behind J-85 turbojet engines. Jet boundary simulators and a powered turbojet engine simulator were used on the wind tunnel models. Data were taken at Mach numbers of 0.6 and 0.9. Boattail drag was found to be affected by Reynolds number. The effect is a complex relationship dependent upon boundary layer thickness and nozzle boattail shape. As Reynolds number was increased from the lowest values obtained with scale models, boattail drag first increased to a maximum at the lowest flight Reynolds number and then decreased.

    Computational aspects of the prediction of multidimensional transonic flows in turbomachinery (1975)
    In:  CASI

    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: The analytical prediction and description of transonic flow in turbomachinery is complicated by three fundamental effects: (1) the fluid equations describing the transonic regime are inherently nonlinear, (2) shock waves may be present in the flow, and (3) turbomachine blading is geometrically complex, possessing large amounts of curvature, stagger, and twist. A three-dimensional computation procedure for the study of transonic turbomachine fluid mechanics is described. The fluid differential equations and corresponding difference operators are presented, the boundary conditions for complex blade shapes are described, and the computational implementation and mapping procedures are developed. Illustrative results of a typical unthrottled transonic rotor are also presented.

Results of this method are compared with experimental data for two laminar and three turbulent boundary-layer, shock-wave interactions. Several Navier-Stokes solutions were obtained for each of the laminar boundary-layer, shock-wave interactions considered. Comparison of these solutions indicates a first-order sensitivity in C sub f to the computational mesh selected in both the viscous and inviscid portions of the flow.

    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: A numerical method for solving the parabolic approximation to the steady-state compressible Navier-Stokes equations is examined. The approximation neglects only the streamwise gradients of shear stress. An implicit finite difference method is used which advances the solution downstream from an initial data surface and determines the complete viscous-inviscid flow between the body and bow shock wave. It is necessary that the inviscid portion of the flow field be supersonic. Crossflow separation is determined as part of the solution. The method is applied to a 15 deg sphere-cone at 15 deg angle of attack, and the results are compared with an inviscid method-of-characteristics calculation.

First, the effect of fuselage camber, wing and nacelle incidence are discussed from a viewpoint of design decision making. Second, the effect of overall cruise drag on the design gross and empty weight of the airplane is discussed. Examples show that cruise drag can have a very important influence on total airplane weight. Third, the effects of usable cruise lift-to-drag ratio and wing loading are shown to be important. Finally several research needs relating to design of the complete configuration are reviewed.

    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: Munk's stagger theorem holds that the induced drag of a multiplane is independent of the streamwise position (the stagger) of its lifting elements so long as the gap/span ratios and the element/element lift ratios are specified. In particular, a monoplane-tailplane or a monoplane-foreplane (canard)arrangement can be regarded as a biplane of zero gap and the trim drag due to tailplane download or foreplane upload can be readily calculated. The trim drag penalty is the same for both configurations. Relations are given for trim drag estimates for various practical arrangements.

    In:  CASI

    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: The fundamental vortex theory for a single rotation propeller with a finite number of blades is reviewed. The theory leads to the specification of a radial distribution of bound circulation on each blade for minimum induced loss, analogous to the elliptic spanwise distribution of bound circulation on a wing for minimum induced drag. A propeller designed in accord with this theory has been tested in a water tunnel where it exhibited high efficiency in spite of localized cavitating flow. A knowledge of the flow field for an optimum propeller is of value to the airframe designer seeking to maximize the performance of the airplane-propeller combination.

    Preservation of wing leading edge suction at the plane of symmetry as a factor in wing-fuselage design (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: Most fuselage geometries cover a portion of the wing leading edge near the plane of symmetry, and it seems reasonable to expect that a large fraction of the leading edge suction which would be developed by the covered wing at high angles of attack is not developed on the fuselage. This is one of the reasons that the Oswald span efficiency factor for the wing body combination fails to approach the value predicted by lifting line theory for the isolated wing. Some traditional and recent literature on wing-body interference is discussed and high Reynolds number data on wing-body-nacelle drag are reviewed. An exposed central leading edge geometry has been developed for a sailplane configuration. Low Reynolds number tests have not validated the design concept.

    Description: The status of an investigation of four numerical techniques for the time-dependent compressible Navier-Stokes equations is presented. Results for free shear layer calculations in the Reynolds number range from 1000 to 81000 indicate that a sequential alternating-direction implicit (ADI) finite-difference procedure requires longer computing times to reach steady state than a low-storage hopscotch finite-difference procedure. A finite-element method with cubic approximating functions was found to require excessive computer storage and computation times. A fourth method, an alternating-direction cubic spline technique which is still being tested, is also described.

    Description: A review is given of recent advances in two distinct computational methods for evaluating turbulence fields, namely, statistical Reynolds stress modeling and turbulence simulation, where large eddies are followed in time. It is shown that evaluation of the mean Reynolds stresses, rather than use of a scalar eddy viscosity, permits an explanation of streamline curvature effects found in several experiments. Turbulence simulation, with a new volume averaging technique and third-order accurate finite-difference computing is shown to predict the decay of isotropic turbulence in incompressible flow with rather modest computer storage requirements, even at Reynolds numbers of aerodynamic interest.

    Solutions for incompressible separated boundary layers including viscous-inviscid interaction (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: Numerical solutions are presented for the laminar and turbulent boundary-layer equations for incompressible flows with separation and reattachment. The separation angularity is avoided by using an inverse technique in which the displacement thickness is prescribed and the pressure is deduced from the resulting solution. The turbulent results appear qualitatively correct despite the use of a two-layer eddy-viscosity model which is generally assumed appropriate only for mild-pressure-gradient flows. A new viscous-inviscid interaction technique is presented in which the inviscid flow is solved inversely by prescribing the pressure from the boundary-layer solution and deducing the new displacement thickness from the solution of a Cauchy integral. Calculations are presented using this interaction procedure for a laminar flow in which separation and reattachment occur on a solid surface.

Although the results indicate a strong potential for the use of shock-capturing or finite-difference solutions for internal flows, improvement in the ability to handle the reflection of strong shockwaves having downstream Mach numbers near 1 is needed.

    Calculation of three-dimensional compressible laminar and turbulent boundary layers. Calculation of three-dimensional compressible boundary layers on arbitrary wings (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: A very general method for calculating compressible three-dimensional laminar and turbulent boundary layers on arbitrary wings is described. The method utilizes a nonorthogonal coordinate system for the boundary-layer calculations and includes a geometry package that represents the wing analytically. In the calculations all the geometric parameters of the coordinate system are accounted for. The Reynolds shear-stress terms are modeled by an eddy-viscosity formulation developed by Cebeci. The governing equations are solved by a very efficient two-point finite-difference method used earlier by Keller and Cebeci for two-dimensional flows and later by Cebeci for three-dimensional flows.

    Calculation of supersonic three-dimensional free-mixing flows using the parabolic-elliptic Navier-Stokes equations (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: A numerical method is presented which is valid for integration of the parabolic-elliptic Navier-Stokes equations. The solution procedure is applied to the three-dimensional supersonic flow of a jet issuing into a supersonic free stream. Difficulties associated with the imposition of free-stream boundary conditions are noted, and a coordinate transformation, which maps the point at infinity onto a finite value, is introduced to alleviate these difficulties. Results are presented for calculations of a square jet and varying-aspect-ratio rectangular jets. The solution behavior varies from axisymmetry for the square jet to nearly two-dimensional for the high-aspect-ratio rectangle, although the computation always calculates the flow as though it were truly three-dimensional.

    Calculation of shock-separated turbulent boundary layers (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: Numerical solutions of the complete, time-averaged conservation equations using several eddy-viscosity models for the Reynolds shear stress to close the equations are compared with experimental measurements in a compressible, turbulent separated flow. An efficient time-splitting, explicit difference scheme was used to solve the two-dimensional conservation equations. The experiment used for comparison was a turbulent boundary layer that was separated by an incident shock wave in a Mach 2.93 flow with a unit Reynolds number of 5.7 x 10 to the seventh power m. Comparisons of predicted and experimental values of surface pressure, shear stress along the wall, and velocity profiles are shown. One of the tested eddy-viscosity models which allows the shear stress to be out of equilibrium with the mean flow produces substantially better agreement with the experimental measurements than the simpler models. A tool is thereby provided for inferring additional information about the flow, such as static pressures in the stream, which might not be directly obtainable from experiments.

    Influence of external disturbances and compressibility on free turbulent mixing (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: It is shown that disturbances in external flow can significantly affect, by as much as an order of magnitude, the turbulent mixing rate in free shear layers and that the length scale of the external flow disturbances is as important as the amplitude. The difference between the effect of wide-band and narrow-band disturbances is stressed. The model for pressure fluctuation term in the kinetic energy equation is included in a two-equation model. The reduced spreading rate in high Mach number, high Reynolds number, adiabatic, free turbulent shear layers is predicted.

A preliminary computer analysis that considers increased dimensions for the nacelle forebody so that the noise is relatively less blunt indicates a reduction in form drag much greater than the increase in skin friction drag attributable to increased surface area.

    Time-dependent transonic flow solutions for axial turbomachinery (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: Three-dimensional unsteady transonic flow through an axial turbomachine stage is described in terms of a pair of two-dimensional formulations pertaining to orthogonal surfaces, namely, a blade-to-blade surface and a hub-to-casing surface. The resulting systems of nonlinear, inviscid, compressible equations of motion are solved by an explicit finite-difference technique. The blade-to-blade program includes the periodic interaction between rotor and stator blade rows. Treatment of the boundary conditions and of the blade slipstream motion by a characteristic type procedure is discussed in detail. Harmonic analysis of the acoustic far field produced by the blade row interaction, including an arbitrary initial transient, is outlined. Results from the blade-to-blade program are compared with experimental measurements of the rotating pressure field at the tip of a high-speed fan. The hub-to-casing program determines circumferentially averaged flow properties on a meridional plane. Blade row interactions are neglected in this formulation, but the force distributions over the entire blade surface for both the rotor and stator are obtained. Results from the hub-to-casing program are compared with a relaxation method solution for a subsonic rotor. Results are also presented for a quiet fan stage which includes transonic flow in both the rotor and stator and a normal shock in the stator.

    Description: A three-dimensional boundary-layer code was developed for particular application to realistic hypersonic aircraft. It is very general and can be applied to a wide variety of boundary-layer flows. Laminar, transitional, and fully turbulent flows of compressible, reacting gases are efficiently calculated by use of the code. A body-oriented orthogonal coordinate system is used for the calculation and the user has complete freedom in specifying the coordinate system within the restrictions that one coordinate must be normal to the surface and the three coordinates must be mutually orthogonal.

    Calculation of three-dimensional compressible laminar and turbulent boundary layers. An implicit finite-difference procedure for solving the three-dimensional compressible laminar, transitional, and turbulent boundary-layer equations (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: An implicit finite-difference procedure is presented for solving the compressible three-dimensional boundary-layer equations. The method is second-order accurate, unconditionally stable (conditional stability for reverse cross flow), and efficient from the viewpoint of computer storage and processing time. The Reynolds stress terms are modeled by (1) a single-layer mixing length model and (2) a two-layer eddy viscosity model. These models, although simple in concept, accurately predicted the equilibrium turbulent flow for the conditions considered. Numerical results are compared with experimental wall and profile data for a cone at an angle of attack larger than the cone semiapex angle. These comparisons clearly indicate that the numerical procedure and turbulence models accurately predict the experimental data with as few as 21 nodal points in the plane normal to the wall boundary.

    Wind tunnel investigation of an oblique wing transport model at mach numbers between 0.6 and 1.4 (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: Models of three practical oblique-wing transport configurations were tested in the NASA Ames 11 foot wind tunnel. The three configurations used a common forward fuselage, wing, and support system but employed different aft fuselage sections simulating alternate propulsion system installations. These included an integrated propulsion system, pylon-mounted nacelles, and clean (no propulsion system) configuration. The tests were conducted over a Mach number range from 0.6 to 1.4 and at sweep angles from 0 to 60 degrees. The nominal unit Reynolds number was 1.83 million per meter and the angle of attack range was -3 to +6 degrees. The models were mounted in the tunnel by means of a lower blade support system. The interference effects of this lower blade and the flow inclination were determined by using an image blade system and testing the configuration in both the upright and inverted positions.

    Transonic aerodynamic characteristics of the 10-percent-thick NASA supercritical airfoil 31 (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Refinements in a 10 percent thick supercritical airfoil (airfoil 31) have produced significant improvements in the drag characteristics compared with those for an earlier supercritical airfoil (airfoil 12) designed for the same normal force coefficient of 0.7. Drag creep was practically eliminated at normal force coefficients between about 0.4 and 0.7 and was greatly reduced at other normal force coefficients. Substantial reductions in the drag levels preceding drag divergence were also achieved at all normal force coefficients. The Mach numbers at which drag diverges were delayed for airfoil 31 at normal force coefficients up to about 0.6 (by approximately 0.01 and 0.02 at normal force coefficients of 0.4 and 0.6, respectively) but drag divergence occurred at slightly lower Mach numbers at higher normal force coefficients.

    Static longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics of a model with a modified 17 percent thick supercritical wing (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The static longitudinal stability characteristics of a 0.09 scale model of an airplane with a modified 17 percent thick supercritical wing were investigated. Modifications were made to the wing to reduce a gradual buildup of boundary layer shock loss preceding drag divergence (drag creep) noted in an earlier investigation. The longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics were determined over a Mach number range from 0.30 to 0.76 at angles of attack that generally provided a lift coefficient range from 0 to buffet onset. Results indicate that the modifications to the airfoil essentially eliminated the drag creep associated with the airfoil that occurs between the critical Mach number and the drag divergence Mach number.

    Tabulated pressure measurements on an executive-type jet transport model with a supercritical wing (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: A 1/9 scale model of an existing executive type jet transport refitted with a supercritical wing was tested on in the 8 foot transonic pressure tunnel. The supercritical wing had the same sweep as the original airplane wing but had maximum thickness chord ratios 33 percent larger at the mean geometric chord and almost 50 percent larger at the wing-fuselage juncture. Wing pressure distributions and fuselage pressure distributions in the vicinity of the left nacelle were measured at Mach numbers from 0.25 to 0.90 at angles of attack that generally varied from -2 deg to 10 deg. Results are presented in tabular form without analysis.

    Effects of landing gear, speed brake and protuberances on the longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics of an NASA supercritical-wing research airplane model (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: An investigation was conducted in the Langley Research Center 8-foot transonic pressure tunnel to determine the effects of the landing gear, speed brake and the major airplane protuberances on the longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics of an 0.087-scale model of the TF-8A supercritical-wing research airplane. For the effects of the landing gear and speed brake, tests were conducted at Mach numbers of 0.25 and 0.35 with a flap deflection of 20 degrees and a horizontal-tail angle of -10 degrees. These conditions simulated those required for take-off and landing. The effects of the protuberances were determined with the model configured for cruise (i.e., horizontal-tail angle of -2.5 degrees and no other control deflection), and these tests were conducted at Mach numbers from 0.50 to 1.00. The angle-of-attack range for all tests varied from about -5 degrees to 12 degrees.

    Use of leaning vanes in a two stage fan (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: The use of leaning vanes for tone noise reduction was examined in terms of their application in a typical two-stage high pressure ratio fan. In particular for stages designed with outlet guide vanes and zero swirl between stages, leaning the vanes of the first stage stator was studied, since increasing the number of vanes and the gap between stages do not provide the desired advantage. It was shown that noise reduction at higher harmonics of blade passing frequency can be obtained by leaning the vanes.

    A momentum analysis of helicopters and autogyros in inclined descent, with comments on operational restrictions (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: A momentum theory was developed for rotors in descending flight. Comparison with available experimental data indicates that the theory, when properly interpreted, yields the optimum performance of the rotor. Power settling can be explained on the basis of the theory. The reasons and the need for operational restrictions on descending flight are discussed. The maximum autorotative performance of a rotor is determined; the theory shows good agreement with flight measurements in autorotation. Similar equations were developed for a wing; it was shown that the ideal performance of an autorotating rotor is identical to that of a wing of equal aspect ratio. A limiting maximum wing lift coefficient which is confirmed by existing experimental data was obtained.

    Fire safety evaluation of aircraft lavatory and cargo compartments (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: Large-scale aircraft lavatory and cargo compartment fire tests are described. Tests were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of these compartments to contain fire and smoke. Two tests were conducted and are detailed. Test 1 involved a production Boeing 747 lavatory of the latest design installed in an enclosure outside the aircraft, to collect gases and expose animals to these gases. Results indicate that the interior of the lavatory was completely burned, evolving smoke and combustion products in the enclosure. Test 2 involved a simulated Douglas DC-10 cargo compartment retro-fitted with standard fiberglass liner. The fire caused excessive damage to the liner and burned through the ceiling in two areas. Test objectives, methods, materials, and results are presented and discussed.

    A Three-Dimensional Solution of Flows over Wings with Leading-Edge Vortex Separation. Part 1: Engineering Document (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: A method of predicting forces, moments, and detailed surface pressures on thin, sharp-edged wings with leading-edge vortex separation in incompressible flow is presented. The method employs an inviscid flow model in which the wing and the rolled-up vortex sheets are represented by piecewise, continuous quadratic doublet sheet distributions. The Kutta condition is imposed on all wing edges. Computed results are compared with experimental data and with the predictions of the leading-edge suction analogy for a selected number of wing planforms over a wide range of angle of attack. These comparisons show the method to be very promising, capable of producing not only force predictions, but also accurate predictions of detailed surface pressure distributions, loads, and moments.

    Effect of a 180 deg-extent inlet pressure distortion on the internal flow conditions of a TF30-P-3 (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: The measured effects of inlet pressure distortion on the internal flow temperatures and pressures of a TF30-P-3 afterburning turbofan engine are reported. Extensive inner-stage instrumentation combined with stepwise rotation of pressure distortion provided a high degree of circumferential resolution in the data. The steady-state spatial variation in pressures, temperature, and calculated flow velocity and the amplitude and extent of the distorted sectors are given. Data are presented for runs of 77 and 90 percent of low-speed-rotor design speed at pressure distortion levels two-thirds of that required to stall the engine. These data are compared with data taken at clean-inlet conditions. Results indicate that the inlet pressure distortion was quickly attenuated within the compressor, except at the hub of the low-pressure compressor. The distorted sectors also swirled and varied in extent as they passed through the engine. Average velocities within the compressor were about equal to the clean-inlet values.

    Review of aircraft noise propagation (1975)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: The current state of knowledge about the propagation of aircraft noise was reviewed. The literature on the subject is surveyed and methods for predicting the most important and best understood propagation effects are presented. Available empirical data are examined and the data's general validity is assessed. The methods used to determine the loss of acoustic energy due to uniform spherical spreading, absorption in a homogeneous atmosphere, and absorption due to ground cover are presented. A procedure for determining ground induced absorption as a function of elevation angle between source and receiver is recommended. Other factors that affect propagation, such as refraction and scattering due to turbulence, which were found to be less important for predicting the propagation of aircraft noise, are also evaluated.
