    Economy of flight at supersonic speeds (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-11-08
    Description: Prandtl's theory is used to determine the airflow over bodies and wings adapted to supersonic flight. By making use of these results, and by incorporating in them an allowance for the probable skin friction, some estimates of expected lift-drag ratios are made for various flight speeds with the best configuration. At each speed a slender body and wings having the best angle of sweepback are considered. For the range of supersonic speeds shown an airplane of normal density and loading would be required to operate at an altitude of the order of 60,000 feet. The limiting value of 1-1/2 times the speed of sound corresponds to a flight speed of 1000 miles per hour. At this speed about 1.5 miles per gallon of fuel are expected. It is interesting to note that this value corresponds to a value of more than 15 miles per gallon when the weight is reduced to correspond to that of an ordinary automobile.

    Aeroelastic characteristics of an oblique wing (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-11-08
    Description: In theory, the most efficient wing shape for transonic and low supersonic speeds is simply a long narrow straight subsonic wing turned at an oblique angle to the flight direction. This theory has been verified by tests at Mach numbers from .6 to 1.4 in supersonic wind tunnel and by comparative studies of transonic transport designs.

    Theoretical determination of the minimum drag of airfoils at supersonic speeds (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-11-08
    Description: A method is reported for determining mathematically the combined disturbance field, and in certain cases the minimum drag, of wings at supersonic speeds. The simplest analytic example is provided by the wing of elliptic planform, which achieves its minimum drag when the lift is distributed uniformly over the surface. With a symmetrical distribution of thickness, the requirement of minimum drag for a given total volume is found to lead to profiles of constant curvature.

    The minimum drag of thin wings in frictionless flow (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-11-08
    Description: The assumptions of the thin airfoil theory are found to provide certain necessary conditions for the minimum drag of airfoils having a given total lift, a given maximum thickness, or a given volume. The conditions are applicable to steady or unsteady motions and to subsonic or supersonic speeds without restriction on the planform. The computation of drag and the statement of the conditions for minimum drag depend on the consideration of a combined flow field, which is obtained by superimposing the disturbance velocities in forward and reversed motions. If the planform of the airfoil and its total lift are given, it is found that, for minimum drag, the lift must be distributed in such a way that the downwash in the combined field is constant over the entire planform. If the planform is given and the thickness of the airfoil is required to contain a specified volume, then the thickness must be distributed over the planform in such a way that the pressure gradient of the combined field in the direction of flight is constant at all points of the wing.

    Calculation of the motion of an airplane under the influence of irregular disturbances (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-11-08
    Description: The application of mathematical advances made in electricity and other branches to problems of airplane dynamics is demonstrated. The Heaviside-Bromwich methods of solution of linear differential equations are described and it is shown how these methods avoid the consideration of boundary conditions and of particular or complementary integrals. It is pointed out that if the solution of the differential equation is obtained for the case of a unit disturbance, the effect of varying disturbances may be found therefrom by Carson's theorem. A graphical solution of Carson's integral for irregular disturbances is given. The procedure of obtaining unit solutions of the equations is then taken up and the analogy between Heaviside's symbolic series solution and a physical procedure of approximation is shown. It is suggested that a fictitious impulsive disturbance be used in the treatment of initial motions.

    Three-dimensional wings of minimum pressure drag (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-11-08
    Description: In linearized flow theory, certain very interesting extremal properties of wings can be derived under rather broad conditions without the use of a complicated mathematical apparatus. The present chapter reviews certain results of this theory and indicates some rather obvious extensions to incorporate various auxiliary conditions. Several examples illustrating the relation between the geometrical features of the wing and the lift distribution for minimum drag are given.

    Theoretical correction for the lift of elliptic wings (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-11-08
    Description: In the wing section theory the magnitude of the circulation, and hence of the lift, is determined by the velocity that would be induced near the trailing edge of the section in a non-lifting potential flow. In three dimensional flow the problem is complicated by the presence of the wake and no simple basic solution has been found. Treatment of the problem of a wing of finite span is reported on the basis of the two dimensional theory, corrected for the effect of the wake.

    Reduction of wave drag by antisymmetric arrangement of wings and bodies (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-11-08
    Description: In theory, antisymmetric arrangements of wings and bodies can have smaller wave drag than corresponding mirror-symmetric arrangements. Thus, a long narrow oblique wing which presents the same aspect for two opposite directions of flight is potentially more efficient than corresponding (i.e., structurally equivalent) swept wing. The single continuous wing panel also adapts itself more readily to varying angles of obliquity, and hence, to varying flight speeds. Previous work on the aerodynamics and flight stability of oblique wing combinations is reviewed and a possible mode of application to transport aircraft operating at moderate supersonic speeds is suggested.

    Possibilities of efficient high-speed transport airplanes (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-11-08
    Description: Comparisons of wing-body combinations may not disclose the full effect of a loss in aerodynamic efficiency. If the thrust needs to be increased at a given altitude then more or larger engines will have to be used and the possibility of concealing them becomes less. In this process the lift drag ratio of the complete airplane may become still more unfavorable than indicated by the comparison. Primarily aerodynamic and structural considerations point toward the development of turbojet engines specifically adapted to operation in an atmosphere of one tenth normal density. In addition to the numerous other technological problems associated with operation at these high altitudes, the problems of safe descent and effective limitation to low speeds at low altitudes seem important.

    Leading-edge singularities in thin-airfoil theory (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-11-08
    Description: If the thin airfoil theory is applied to an airfoil having a rounded leading edge, a certain error will arise in the determination of the pressure distribution around the nose. It is shown that the evaluation of the drag of such a blunt nosed airfoil by the thin airfoil theory requires the addition of a leading edge force, analogous to the leading edge thrust of the lifting airfoil. The method of calculation is illustrated by application to: (1) The Joukowski airfoil in subsonic flow; and (2) the thin elliptic cone in supersonic flow. A general formula for the edge force is provided which is applicable to a variety of wing forms.

    Three dimensional boundary layer separation in supersonic flow (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-10-14
    Description: An account is given of a detailed experimental investigation of three dimensional boundary layer separation in supersonic flow. In investigating three dimensional effects on supersonic separation, models were chosen which exhibited departures from two dimensional flow in the simplest way. The plane compression corner was replaced by a plate attached to a swept back wedge formed by two obliquely intersecting planes. Maintaining a constant tunnel Mach number of 2.5, surface pressure measurements were made on these models at static orifices spaced along the centerline and along three parallel lines. The flow parameters in the boundary layer and separated regions adjacent to the model surface were measured by traversing hot wire and pitot probes. The traverses were taken across the boundary layer and reversed flow regions in a direction normal to the body surface; they were made in several vertical planes, including the plane of symmetry.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: The steady-state Navier-Stokes equations are solved for hypersonic flow about blunt axisymmetric bodies. The equations of motion are solved by successive approximations using an implicit finite-difference scheme. The results are compared with viscous shock-layer theory, experimental data, and time-dependent solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. It is demonstrated that viscous shock-layer theory is sufficiently accurate for the range of flight conditions normally encountered by entry vehicles.

    Description: The method presented makes use of a division of the region of integration into closed rectangular elements. The velocity is taken to be constant in each element. The integral equation is reduced to a matrix equation which can be solved by an appropriate iteration approach. The derivation and solution of the matrix equation are discussed and the matrix elements are considered. The described concepts were implemented for a nonlifting parabolic-arc airfoil.

    Derivation of an integral equation for transonic flows (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: It is noted that the nonlinear partial differential equation for the perturbation velocity potential and boundary conditions describing steady inviscid compressible transonic flow past a thin two-dimensional airfoil can be transformed into a singular integrodifferential equation and that differentiation of the latter yields an integral equation. Two forms of this integral equation currently exist: one for the singularity that is enclosed in an infinitely long strip of vanishing thickness and the other for the singularity that is enclosed in a vanishing circle. In the present article, a more general integral equation is derived by enclosing the singularity in a vanishing rectangular cavity of arbitrary aspect ratio. The two existing forms of this equation are deduced as special cases distinguished by the respective values for the aspect ratio (infinity for the first form and unity for the second).

    Aerodynamic heat transfer to a hypersonic research aircraft model /X-24C/ at Mach 6 (1976)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: The paper reports on results of heat-transfer tests conducted on a 1/29-scale model of the X-24C-12I hypersonic research aircraft configuration in a Mach 6 tunnel at a Reynolds number of thirteen million using the phase-change heat transfer technique. Sequences of phase-change heat transfer pattern photographs are presented showing windward side and leeward side heating processes. Theoretical predictions of dimensionless heat transfer coefficients along a data line on lower fuselage and on fuselage side bracket the experimental values. A turbulent heating theory gives good agreement with data when shifted to a new virtual origin.

    Skin friction on a flat perforated acoustic liner (1976)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: The report concerns the measurement of friction coefficients of a typical perforated acoustic liner installed in the side of a wind tunnel. The results are compared with measured friction coefficients of a smooth hard wall for the same mean flow velocities in a wind tunnel. At a velocity of 61 m/sec, an increase in the local skin coefficient of only a few percent was observed, but at the highest velocity of 213 m/sec an increase of about 20% was obtained. This velocity is a realistic velocity for turbo-machinery components utilizing such liners, so a loss in performance is to be expected. Some tests were also performed to see if changes in the mean boundary layer induced by imposed noise would result in friction increase, but only at low velocity levels was such an increase in friction noted.

    Steady supersonic flowfields with embedded subsonic regions (1976)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: Supersonic flow past a blunt body is considered, where the flow contains an embedded subsonic region which lies between the shock wave and the body surface and is bounded by sonic lines from the body to the shock. A numerical approach is taken, which uses a basic finite difference scheme that solves the unsteady fluid dynamic equations in integral form. The unsteady equations are everywhere hyperbolic in time so no distinction need be made between subsonic and supersonic regions. Solutions to the mixed elliptic and hyperbolic steady flow equations are approached asymptotically in time. The method is illustrated for two-dimensional flows.

    Flow characteristics in an expansion tunnel as inferred from velocity measurements (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: A photoionization technique was used to study flow characteristics in an expansion tunnel. Vertical surveys of the axial component of flow velocity just downstream from the nozzle exit were obtained, and estimates of freestream density were inferred from the velocity measurement technique. The pitot pressure was measured and compared to the average axial component of velocity as a function of time for the two cases when air and CO2 were used as test gases. Vertical velocity and static density profiles at the nozzle exit are presented for the case when CO2 was used as test gas. Experimental results were used to determine the diameter and uniformity of the test core at the nozzle exit and the duration of the quasi-steady flow period. These data are relevant to evaluation of the suitability of operating an expansion tube as an expansion tunnel. The expansion tunnel is an expansion tube with a conical nozzle positioned at the exit of the acceleration section, so that nozzle entrance flow conditions are hypersonic and characterized by hypervelocity.

    Low Reynolds number flow past a blunt axisymmetric body at angle of attack (1977)

    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: Low Reynolds number flow of an ideal gas over a blunt axisymmetric body of large half-angle at small angles of attack is investigated, for the case of laminar hypersonic flow. Time-varying viscous shock layer equations describing the flowfield are obtained from the full Navier-Stokes system by keeping terms to second order in the inverse square root of Re in both viscous and inviscid regions; the equations are valid for moderate to high Re. Drag, skin friction, and heating rates were obtained at small (or zero) angles of attack. Conditions experienced by planetary entry probes during the high-altitude (early) legs of an atmospheric entry trajectory are pertinent to the problem.

    Description: The paper describes the facilities and test procedures used in a series of wind-tunnel and full-scale flight investigations of the effectiveness of flight spoilers currently existing on wide-bodied transport jet aircraft when used as trailing vortex hazard alleviation devices. Examples of the results of such studies include the variation of trailing wing rolling-moment coefficient with downstream distance behind a B-747 airplane model with various segments of its flight spoilers deflected 45 deg, and comparisons with models without spoilers deflected. It is concluded that the existing flight spoilers on the B-747 are effective as trailing vortex attenuators.

    The effect of ablation injection on radiative and convective heating (1977)

    Description: A viscous shock-layer analysis for calculating high energy equilibrium flow fields about blunt axisymmetric bodies is applied to the problem of massive ablation injection with radiation transport. A nongray radiation model is used that accounts for both line and continuum radiation. The solution method is direct and provides both stagnation and downstream solutions. Results for shock heated air show that phenolic-nylon injection is substantially more effective in reducing the wall radiant flux than air injection. Also, for large included body angles, the wall radiative flux and the coupled phenolic-nylon injection rate do not continue to decrease with increasing distance downstream.

    Comment on 'Drag coefficient of spheres in continuum and rarefied flows' (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: A paper by Henderson (1976) provides a method of predicting experimental sphere drag data. This approach uses two equations for the drag coefficient, one for relative Mach number less than one, one for relative Mach number greater than 1.75. For relative Mach numbers between these limits a linear interpolation procedure is followed. In a comment on this paper, it is claimed, on the basis of comparing predictions with experimental results, that a method proposed by Walsh (1975) gives better predictions of the drag coefficient for relative Mach numbers less than 1.75, provided that a modification of the procedure is made for relative Mach numbers less than 0.1. For values over 1.75, both methods are considered equally accurate. In a reply to this comment, it is agreed that the Walsh method is more accurate when Reynolds numbers are within a range between 20 and 200, and Mach numbers are between 0.5 and 1.25. Presumed errors and possible limitations in the Walsh procedure for predicting drag coefficients are discussed.

    Improved interactive calculation procedure for supersonic flows (1976)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: An interactive numerical procedure has been developed for supersonic viscous flows (either two-dimensional or axisymmetric configurations). The flow field is divided into two regions: (1) an inner region which is highly viscous and mostly subsonic, and (2) an outer region where the flow is supersonic and in which viscous effects are small, but not negligible. This paper presents a detailed description of: I. Outer Region - numerical solution obtained by applying the method of characteristics to a system of equations which includes viscous and conduction transport terms only normal to the streamlines; II. Inner Region - treated by a system of equations of the boundary-layer type that includes higher order effects, such as longitudinal and transverse curvature and normal pressure gradients (equations are coupled and solved simultaneously in physical coordinates, using an implicit finite-difference scheme); III. Interactive Procedure - in the interaction mode, the two regions are coupled iteratively along a matching line, where the Mach number is of the order of 1.2.

    Influence of nonconservative differencing on transonic streamline shapes (1976)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: A computer program recently developed by South and Brandt (1976) which contained the Murman (1973) conservative finite-difference scheme is easily modified to use the Garabedian and Korn (1971) nonconservative finite difference scheme. This program solves the transonic small disturbance equation for only symmetric flow, but incorporates several iterative solution techniques. Results are presented for the case where the equally spaced computational grid extended to infinity in both the streamwise and normal directions. Streamline shapes are obtained along several grid lines by a streamwise integration of the normal component of the perturbation velocity. Comparison cases are run for a 10% thick parabolic arc airfoil at zero incidence for freestream Mach numbers of 0, 0.70, 0.84, and 0.95. It is shown that the use of a nonconservative finite-difference scheme in transonic flow calculations destroys the global mass balance when shocks are present. This lack of mass balance may prove to be more crucial in the case of an unconfined external flow.

    Vortex lattice prediction of subsonic aerodynamics of hypersonic vehicle concepts (1977)

    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.

    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: The cooling effectiveness of injection through multiple flush slots at an angle of 10 deg was studied experimentally in a wind tunnel. Air was injected from one to four slots into a turbulent Mach 6 boundary layer. The slot mass flow ratio is defined, and data which describe the dependence of the cooling effectiveness on the slot mass flow ratio are presented. Experimental values are indicated graphically for various cases of single and multiple slot injection, where the total mass injection (i.e., the sum of flow rates from each slot) is the same for each case. The results show that, for a given coolant mass flow rate, thermal protection over the maximum surface area can be accomplished best by injecting the coolant flow through multiple slots.

    Vortex shedding from a blunt trailing edge with equal and unequal external mean velocities (1976)
    In:  Other Sources

    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: A flow-visualization study has shown that strong Karman vortices develop behind the blunt trailing edge of a plate when the free-stream velocities over both surfaces are equal and that the vortices tend to disappear when the surface velocities are unequal. This observation provides an explanation for the occurence and disappearance of certain discrete tones often found to be present in the noise spectra of coaxial jets. Both the vortex formation and the tones occur at a Strouhal number based on the lip thickness and the average of the external steady-state velocities of about 0.2. Results from theoretical calculations of the vortex formation, based on an inviscid incompressible analysis of the motion of point vortices, were in good agreement with the experimental observations.

    Wall cooling effects on hypersonic transitional/turbulent boundary layers at high Reynolds numbers (1977)

    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: The characteristics of a thick hypersonic boundary layer turbulent for a length of 175 cm on a 4 deg sharp wedge were measured. The resulting boundary layer was free from transverse curvature effects and only mildly affected by upstream history effects caused by pressure and wall temperature gradients. Heat-transfer distributions were used to locate regions of laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow at an edge unit Reynolds number of 470,000 cm at wall-to-total temperature ratios from about 0.3 to 1. Wall cooling had little effect on the location of the transition region. Pitot and total temperature profiles and skin-friction measurements were obtained at several locations along the model longitudinal centerline. Mixing length and turbulent Prandtl number distributions were derived from the fully turbulent mean profiles.

    Atmospheric entry into Jupiter's atmosphere in view of recent flyby results (1976)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: The paper examines the heating levels experienced by a probe entering Kliore's (1974) model of Jupiter's atmosphere and compares the results with those of the Jupiter model atmospheres given elsewhere (NASA SP-8069, 1971), with the heating levels of Tauber (1969) and Tauber and Wakefield (1971). The computations are made using a point-mass atmospheric entry trajectory program, i.e., the Allen-Eggers (1958) analysis and simple correlations of heating. Results of heating calculations are compared and discussed. It is found that the warm temperature bulge exists at a level too low in the atmosphere to affect any heating and that the nominal atmosphere fits Kliore's model atmosphere best insofar as heating is concerned. Previous estimates of the heating levels to be expected for a probe entering Jupiter's atmosphere are therefore unaffected by Kliore's postulated atmospheres.

    Roughness induced transition criteria for space shuttle-type vehicles (1976)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: Tripping effectiveness of surface roughness on a delta wing shuttle orbiter model at 20 deg angle of attack is compared to that on plane and axisymmetrical bodies with and without longitudinal pressure gradients. The experimental data presented are compared on the basis of effective roughness Reynolds number since this parameter is not sensitive to flow conditions downstream of the roughness. The discussion covers the effective roughness Reynolds number as a function of roughness position Reynolds number, effective size ratio as a function of pressure gradient and distance from vehicle nose, and effect of spanwise roughness position on roughness effectiveness. It is shown that conventional criteria for sizing roughness elements which promote transition in two-dimensional zero-pressure gradient flows are insufficient for high-pressure gradient flows and three-dimensional flows. Roughness much smaller than that given by conventional criteria can cause transition and significantly increase the heating load.

Explicit formulas for the airfoil response functions (i.e., fluctuating lift) are given. The theory accounts for the effect of the distortion of the gust by the steady-state potential flow around the airfoil, and this effect is found to have an important influence on the response functions. A number of results relevant to the general theory of the scattering of vorticity waves by solid objects are also presented.

The method finds the most appropriate successive approximations, which are in a most nearly geometric sequence, for use in the Aitken formula. Simple examples are given to illustrate the use of the method. The method is then applied to the mixed elliptic-hyperbolic problem of steady, inviscid, transonic flow over an airfoil in a subsonic free stream.

    Description: Different inlet designs for high angle of attack STOL and VTOL applications were tested in a subsonic wind tunnel. Three removable entry lips having contraction ratios of 1.30, 1.34 and 1.38 were tested with a single diffuser. The internal contour of each entry lip was an ellipse with a major to minor axis of 2.0. Each lip and diffuser assembly was tested to determine its tolerance to angle of attack, first with a conventional centerbody and then with an extended centerbody. Results indicate that a large improvement in separation angle (determined as a function of lip contraction ratio and inlet flow) was obtained for the extended centerbody for all contraction ratios. Improved inlet tolerance to angle of attack was obtained by reducing the adverse pressure gradient downstream of the throat.

    Application of the method of integral relations to laminar boundary layers in three dimensions (1977)

    Description: The method of integral relations is extended to general three-dimensional compressible laminar boundary layer flows. The transformation employed to transform the basic three-dimensional compressible boundary layer equations into quasi-incompressible form is an extension of the Howarth transformation. The resulting system of differential equations is integrated numerically by the method of integral relations as proposed by Dorodnitsyn. To demonstrate the accuracy of the method, it is applied to calculation of the parabolic flow over a flat plate and the boundary flow over an infinite yawed cylinder, for which solutions are known. It is then applied to the flow over a flat plate disturbed by a cylinder normal to the plate, for which a finite-difference solution is available for comparison. It is finally applied to calculating the crossflow velocity variation for supersonic flow over a swept wedge.

    Description: A self-bleeding method for boundary layer control is described and tested for a subsonic inlet designed to operate in the flowfield generated by high angles of attack. Naturally occurring surface static pressure gradients are used to remove the boundary layer from a separation-prone region of the inlet and to reinject it at a less critical location with a net performance gain. The results suggest that this self-bleeding method for boundary-layer control might be successfully applied to other inlets operating at extreme aerodynamic conditions.

    Mach 6 flowfield survey at the engine inlet of a research airplane (1977)

    Description: A flowfield survey was conducted to better define the nature of vehicle forebody flowfield at the inlet location of an airframe-integrated scramjet engine mounted on the lower surface of a high-speed research airplane to be air launched from a B-52 and rocket boosted to Mach 6. The tests were conducted on a 1/30-scale brass model in a Mach-6 20-in. wind tunnel at Reynolds number of 11,200,000 based on distance to engine inlet. Boundary layer profiles at five spanwise locations indicate that the boundary layer in the area of the forebody centerline is more than twice as thick as the boundary layer at three outboard stations. It is shown that the cold streak found in heating contours on the centerline of the forebody is caused by a thickening of the boundary layer on the centerline, and that this thickening decreases with angle of attack.

    Comparison of numerical and experimental 'conical' flow fields in supersonic corners with compression and/or expansion (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: The flow field produced by the intersection of two plane solid surfaces in a supersonic stream is a complex interference flow. These flows can be fully compressive, fully expansive, or of mixed compression-expansion nature. This paper presents a comparison of the experimentally obtained flow-field structure in an axial corner with that predicted numerically by using a shock-capturing finite-difference method. The effect of sweep and surface deflection are evaluated, and the general influence of each is presented for the three classes of corner flow. The results show that the numerical method is a valuable aid in understanding the flow structure for simple configurations. In addition, confidence in the numerical method is gained for use in solving more general three-dimensional configurations where the flow is nonconical and several wave interaction may be presented.

    Unsteady flow in a supersonic cascade with strong in-passage shocks (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: Linearized theory is used to study the unsteady flow in a supersonic cascade with in-passage shock waves. We use the Wiener-Hopf technique to obtain a closed-form analytical solution for the supersonic region. To obtain a solution for the rotational flow in the subsonic region we must solve an infinite set of linear algebraic equations. The analysis shows that it is possible to correlate quantitatively the oscillatory shock motion with the Kutta condition at the trailing edges of the blades. This feature allows us to account for the effect of shock motion on the stability of the cascade. Unlike the theory for a completely supersonic flow, the present study predicts the occurrence of supersonic bending flutter. It therefore provides a possible explanation for the bending flutter that has recently been detected in aircraft-engine compressors at higher blade loadings.

The freestream Mach number is 6 and the freestream Reynolds number varies from 3,300,000 to 25,600,000/m. Peak heating is measured on silica-based epoxy models with a phase change coating technique. A comparison of the free shear layer data with the transition data of Birch and Keyes (1972) reveals that the shear layer data are turbulent at attachment. The trend of the data shows that peak heating is strongly affected by the state of development at attachment. As the free shear layers become more fully developed, the data approach the two-dimensional correlation. Persistence of transitional flow structures for supersonic free shear flows is pointed out.

    Calculated heating on the afterbody nozzle of a hypersonic aircraft concept (1977)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: The present analysis was carried out to estimate the heating levels of the external nozzle of a scramjet/airframe-integrated research aircraft. A parametric examination of the effects of Mach number, reference length, and wall temperature showed that the heating rate distributions are independent of reference length and wall temperature. The initial heating rates obtained for a Mach 6 flight are in the (3 to 8) x 10 to the 5th power W/sq m range. Underlying the entire study is the question of nozzle boundary layer formation and growth, as well as the question of the reference length value that should be used in the computations. It is shown that the reference length is not the dominant factor setting the heating levels; an attempt to bound the actual length was made. A more detailed calculation of the rates requires further work to gain a better understanding of the combustor exit boundary layer.

    Effect of geometry modifications on effectiveness of slot injection in hypersonic flow (1976)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: The study presents wind-tunnel measurements of surface static pressures, equilibrium temperatures, and skin friction downstream of tangential slot injection into a thick turbulent hypersonic boundary layer from two modified slot configurations. The data are compared with results obtained for baseline configurations reported by Cary and Hefner (1970, 1972) to determine whether simple modifications to the slot configuration can produce improved cooling effectiveness and skin friction reduction. The baseline slot configurations are simply modified by thickening the slot lip and by elevating the location of the slot exit above the flat plate. Although the results indicate that simple modifications of the baseline slot configurations can enhance the skin friction reductions obtained with tangential slot injection, slot base drag estimates show that neither of the modifications will lessen the impact of the systems penalties for collecting, ducting, and injecting the slot air.

    Turbulence measurements in hypersonic shock-wave boundary-layer interaction flows (1976)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: Turbulent intensity and Reynolds shear stress measurements are presented for two nonadiabatic hypersonic shock-wave boundary-layer interaction flows, one with and one without separation. These measurements were obtained using a new hot-wire probe specially designed for heated flows. Comparison of the separated and attached flows shows a significant increase above equilibrium values in the turbulent intensity and shear stress downstream of the interaction region for the attached case, while for the separated case, the turbulent fluxes remain close to equilibrium values. This effect results in substantial differences in turbulence lifetime for the two flows. We propose that these differences are due to a coupling between the turbulent energy and separation bubble unsteadiness, a hypothesis supported by the statistical properties of the turbulent fluctuations.

    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: Although the development of a finite difference relaxation procedure to solve the steady form of equations of motion gave birth to the study of computational transonic aerodynamics and considerable progress has been made using the small disturbance theory, no general analytical solution method yet exists for transonic flows that include three dimensional unsteady, and viscous effects. Two techniques are described which are useful in computational transonic aerodynamics applications. The finite volume method simplifies the application of boundary conditions without introducing the constriction associated with small disturbance theory. Governing equations are solved in a Cartesian coordinate system using a body-oriented and shock-oriented mesh network. Only the volume and surface normal directions of the volume elements must be known. The other method, configuration design by numerical optimization, can be used by aircraft designers to develop configurations that satisfy specific geometric performance constraints. Two examples of airfoil design by numerical optimization are presented.

    Description: Flight tests evaluating the effects of altered span loading, turbulence ingestion, combinations of mass and turbulence ingestion, and combinations of altered span loading turbulance ingestion on trailed wake vortex attenuation were conducted. Span loadings were altered in flight by varying the deflections of the inboard and outboard flaps on a B-747 aircraft. Turbulence ingestion was achieved in flight by mounting splines on a C-54G aircraft. Mass and turbulence ingestion was achieved in flight by varying the thrust on the B-747 aircraft. Combinations of altered span loading and turbulence ingestion were achieved in flight by installing a spoiler on a CV-990 aircraft and by deflecting the existing spoilers on a B-747 aircraft. The characteristics of the attenuated and unattenuated vortexes were determined by probing them with smaller aircraft. Acceptable separation distances for encounters with the attenuated and unattenuated vortexes are presented.

The test components included a flightworthy CF6-50D engine, nacelle, and USB flap assembly utilized in conjunction with ground verification testing of the USAF YC-14 Advanced Medium STOL Transport propulsion system. Results, based on a preliminary analysis of the data, generally show reasonable agreement with predicted levels based on model data. However, additional detailed analysis is required to confirm the preliminary evaluation, to help delineate certain discrepancies with model data, and to establish a basis for future flight test comparisons.

    Investigations of scaling laws for jet impingement (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: The statistical properties of tangential flows over surfaces were investigated by two techniques. In one, a laser-Doppler velocimeter was used in a smoke-laden jet to measure one-point statistical properties, including mean velocities, turbulent intensities, intermittencies, autocorrelations, and power spectral densities. In the other technique, free stream and surface pressure probes connected to 1/8 inch microphones were used to obtain single point rms and 1/3 octave pressures, as well as two point cross correlations, the latter being converted to auto spectra, amplitude ratios, phase lags, and coherences. The results of these studies support the vortex model of jets, give some insights into the effects of surface impingement, and confirm that jet diameter and velocity are the scaling parameters for circular jets, while Reynolds number is relatively unimportant.

    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: Tests conducted to develop the technology necessary to meet the unique reverse-thrust performance requirements of a variable pitch fan propulsion system are discussed. The losses and distortion associated with the air entering the fan and core compressor from the rear of the engine, the direction of fan blade pitch rotation for best reverse-thrust aeroacoustic performance, and engine response and operating characteristics during forward- to reverse-thrust transients are among the factors studied. The test results of several scale fan models as well as a full-size variable pitch fan engine are summarized. Results show the following: a flared exhaust nozzle makes a good reverse-thrust inlet; acceptable core inlet duct recovery and distortion levels in reverse flow were demonstrated; adequate thrust levels were achieved; forward- to reverse-thrust response time achieved was better than the goal; thrust and noise levels strongly favor reverse through feather pitch; and finally, flight-type inlets make the establishment of reverse flow more difficult.

    EBF noise reduction through nozzle/flap positioning (1976)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: Results are presented of an experimental and analytical study of the dependence of externally blown flap (EBF) noise on the relative position and shape of engine exhaust nozzle. Tests, conducted on a 1/15 scale model of a triple-slotted EBF system, indicate that a significant reduction (of up to 10 to 15 db for no forward speed case and of up to 5 to 10 db for forward speed case) is possible in the low frequency (around 63 Hz) region of the noise spectrum of the full scale device for small nozzle/flap separation distances. The overall acoustic performance, measured in PNdb, does not exhibit significant reductions. The analysis of the EBF noise is carried out for two limiting airfoil in a free jet. The analytical results also suggest that low frequency noise can be reduced by placing the nozzle close to the flow turning elements.

    Analytical modeling of under-the-wing externally blown flap powered-lift noise (1976)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: The sound field produced by the interaction of a subsonic jet with a large-scale model of the under the wing externally blown flap in an approach attitude was analyzed. The analysis was performed to obtain a better understanding of the dominant noise sources and the mechanisms governing the peak sound pressure level frequencies of the broadband spectra. An analytical expression is derived which incorporates two available theories and experimental data; the expression predicts the sound field along a circular arc of approximately 120 deg measured from the upstream jet axis in the fly-over plane. The analysis compares favorably with test results obtained from two large-scale models, one using cold air from a conical nozzle and the other using hot gas from a TF-34 turbofan engine having a conical exhaust nozzle with a 12 lobe internal forced mixer. The frequency at which the peak sound pressure level occurs appears to be governed by a phenomenon which produces periodic formation and shedding of large-scale turbulence structures from the nozzle lip.

    Description: The effects of nozzle and flap geometry on upper surface blown flow field characteristics related to noise generation were examined experimentally using static models. Flow attachment and spreading characteristics were observed using flow visualization techniques. Velocity and turbulence profiles in the trailing edge wake were measured using hot-wire anemometry, and the effects of the geometric variables on peak velocity and turbulence intensity were determined. It is shown that peak trailing edge velocity is a function of the ratio of flow length to modified hydraulic diameter.

    Distributed upper-surface blowing concept (1976)

    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: A low speed investigation was conducted in the Langley V/STOL tunnel to determine the powered lift aerodynamic performance of a distributed upper surface blown propulsive lift transport model. The model used blowing slots across the span of the wing to produce a thin jet efflux near the leading edge and at the knee of the trailing edge flap (internally blown jet flap). Results indicate that these concepts have both good propulsive related lift and low drag due to lift characteristics because of uniform spanwise propulsive thrust. The leading edge blowing concept provides low speed lift characteristics which are competitive with the flap-hinge-line blowing concept and does not require additional leading edge treatment for prevention of abrupt stall.

    Aerodynamic characteristics in ground proximity (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: Results from recent investigations in the Langley V/STOL tunnel of an externally blown flap and an upper surface blown flap configuration in ground proximity are presented. Comparisons of longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics indicate that in ground proximity, drag is reduced for both configurations, but changes in lift are configuration dependent. Steady state analyses of the landing approach indicate an increase in flight path angle for both configurations in ground proximity because of the drag reduction. Dynamic analyses with a fixed-base simulator indicate that the resultant flight path during landing approach is dependent on the initial flight path angle and the control technique used.

    Some measurements of an EBF powered-lift wake (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: Results from a wind tunnel investigation in which velocity vector measurements were obtained in the near wake of an externally blown flap powered lift configuration were analyzed. These measurements were used to develop spanwise distributions for the momentum strength and location of the engine exhaust stream tube with the results used as input parameters to one jet flap analytical method. It is shown that a comparison of the momentum coefficients obtained from forward speed wake surveys with the predicted values from static force data results in a good correlation, which verifies the use of the flap thrust recovery factor as a means of predicting the momentum strength at the flap trailing edge. Also, when wake survey distributions of momentum strength and direction are used as input parameters to one analytical jet flap method, the results show reasonable agreement between the experimental data and analytical results.

    Externally blown flap impingement parameters (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: The performance of two externally blown flap (EBF) wind tunnel models was compared with an engine exhaust flap impingement correlation parameter. One model was a four engine EBF triple slotted flap transport. Isolated engine wake surveys were conducted to define the wake properties of five separate engine configurations for which performance data were available. The other model was a two engine EBF transport for which the engine wake properties were estimated. The correlation parameter was a function of engine exhaust dynamic pressure at the flap location, area of engine exhaust flap impingement, total exhaust area at the flap location, and engine thrust. The distribution of dynamic pressure for the first model was measured; however, the distribution for the second model was assumed to be uniform.

    Summary of low-speed aerodynamic characteristics of upper-surface-blown jet-flap configurations (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: The results of recent wind tunnel investigations to provide fundamental information on the upper surface blown (USB) jet flap concept demonstrated that the USB concept provides good high-lift performance. It is shown that the low speed performance is dependent upon the jet turning angle and turning efficiency and on the use of proper leading and trailing edge treatment to prevent premature flow separation. The best means of achieving good turning performance in any particular USB application must be determined from overall operational considerations in which high speed performance, structures and noise, as well as low speed performance, are evaluated. The large diving moments generated at high lift coefficients can be trimmed satisfactorily with a large, conventional horizontal tail; a high tail position is best from longitudinal stability considerations. Large rolling and yawing moments are introduced with the loss of an engine, but these moments can be trimmed satisfactorily through the use of asymmetrical boundary layer control and through the use of spoiler and rudder deflection as needed.

    Results of static tests of a 1/4 scale model of the Boeing YC-14 powered-lift system (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: One quarter scale static ground tests of the Boeing YC-14 powered lift system were conducted for correlation with full scale test results. The 1/4 scale model utilized a JT-15D turbofan engine to represent the CF6-50D engine employed on the YC-14 advanced medium STOL transport prototype aircraft. The tests included evaluation of static turning performance, static surface pressure and temperature distributions, fluctuating loads, and accelerations of portions of the wing, flaps, and fuselage. Results are presented for the landing flap configuration over an appropriate range of fan pressure ratio as affected by several variables including ground height and vortex generator modifications. Static turning angles of the order of 60 deg were obtained. The highest surface pressures and temperatures were concentrated over the upper surface of the flaps in the region immediately aft of the upper surface blown nozzle.

    Comparison of aerodynamic theory and experiment for jet-flap wings (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: Aerodynamic theory predictions made for a jet flapped wing were compared with experimental data obtained in a fairly extensive series of tests in the Langley V/STOL tunnel. The tests were made on a straight, rectangular wing and investigated two types of jet flap concepts: a pure jet flap with high jet deflection and a wing with blowing at the knee of a plain trailing edge flap. The tests investigated full and partial span blowing for wing aspect ratios of 8.0 and 5.5 and momentum coefficients from 0 to about 4. The total lift, drag, and pitching moment coefficients predicted by the theory were in excellent agreement with experimental values for the pure jet flap, even with the high jet deflection. The pressure coefficients on the wing, and hence the circulation lift coefficients, were underpredicted, however, because of the linearizing assumptions of the planar theory. The lift, drag, and pitching moment coefficients, as well as pressure coefficients, were underpredicted for the wing with blowing over the flap because of the failure of the theory to account for the interaction effect of the high velocity jet passing over the flap.

    Upper-surface-blowing flow-turning performance (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: Jet exhaust flow-turning characteristics were determined for systematic variations in upper-surface blowing exhaust nozzles and trailing-edge flap configuration variables from experimental wind-off (static) flow studies. For conditions with parallel flow exhausting from the nozzle, jet height (as indicated by nozzle exit height) and flap radius were found to be the most important parameters relating to flow turning. Nonparallel flow from the nozzle, as obtained from an internal roof angle and/or side spread angle, had a large favorable effect on flow turning. Comparisons made between static turning results and wind tunnel aerodynamic studies of identical configurations indicated that static flow-turning results can be indicative of wind-on powered lift performance for both good and poor nozzle-flap combinations but, for marginal designs, can lead to overly optimistic assessment of powered lift potential.

    Ground development and flight correlation of the vortex attenuating spline device (1977)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: Data presented indicate that the wing-mounted spline is a effective vortex-attenuating device. A comparison of the vortex induced rolling moment results at a separation scale distance of 0.70 km with those measured in full scale flight indicate good agreement for the unattenuated vortex configuration. The comparison also indicates that the spline effectiveness in flight was greater than in the ground facility test. The results of an applications study show that, for the heavy commercial jet aircraft studied, use of the splines does result in some degradation of the climb gradient and rate of climb, but the aircraft should meet certification requirements.

    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.

    Effect of compliant wall motion on turbulent boundary layers (1977)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-10-02
    Description: A critical analysis of available wall data which indicated drag reduction under turbulent boundary layers. Detailed structural dynamic calculations suggest the surfaces responded in a resonant, rather than compliant, manner. Alternate explanations are given for drag reductions observed in two classes of experiments: flexible pipe flown, and waterbacked membranes in air. Analysis indicates the wall motion for the remaining data is typified by short wave lengths in agreement with the requirement of a possible compliant wall drag reduction mechanism recently suggested by Langley.

    Description: A sharp, smooth, 10-deg-included-angle cone was tested on twenty-one major wind tunnels of the United States and Western Europe to obtain correlation data on the effect of acoustic disturbances in wind tunnel flow on boundary layer transition Reynolds number. The cone is planned to be flight tested in order to obtain a basis of reference for the wind tunnel data over a nominal range of Mach numbers from 0.4 to approximately 2.0. Wind tunnel data obtained over a Mach number range from 0.2 to 4.6 are broadly characterized according to wind tunnel test section geometry and, in turn, to the types of acoustic disturbances associated with the geometry.

    Some aspects on unsteady flow past airfoils and cascades (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-10-02
    Description: The unsteady boundary layer due to a gust propagating past an isolated airfoil and on airfoils in cascade was measured with a hot wire anemometer in a low speed gust tunnel. Coherent signals were obtained by a phase lock averaging technique that was implemented in an on-line analysis using a PDP 12 computer. Changes in a boundary layer shape factor, noise level, and pressure gradient were correlated over a complete gust cycle. It is concluded that the character of the boundary layer changes from laminar to turbulent and back to laminar during the course of a gust cycle at certain chordwise positions. These measurements help explain certain anomalies that were observed during a previous study of the pressure fluctuations due to gust loadings on airfoils and cascades.
