Book Description
Calculations of the ratios of the velocity increments at test bodies to those at the tunnel walls caused by the solid blocking of these bodies within the walls of a closed rectangular wind tunnel are presented. The boides treated include two-dimensional airfoils; small bodies of revolution; straight, untapered, finite-span wings of varying span; and swept, untapered, finite-span wings of varying span. It is shown that, after wake blocking effects have been removed , the present method furnishes semiempirical blocking corrections for most wind-tunnel models and their components. The test section proportions of the Southern California Cooperative Wind Tunnel at CIT (ratio of height to width equal to 1/square root of 2) are used in the calculations.

Wind-tunnel Investigation of the Aerodynamic Characteristics in Pitch and Sideslip at High Subsonic Speeds of a Wing-fuselage Combination Having a Triangular Wing of Aspect Ratio 4
Author: Paul G. Fournier
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Airplanes
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
The results presented in the present paper are part of a program conducted to investigate the effect of wing plan form on the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch, in sideslip, and during steady roll. This paper presents the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch and sideslip at high subsonic speeds of a wing-fuselage combination having a triangular wing of aspect ratio 4, a leading-edge sweep of angle of 45 degrees, and with an NACA 65A006 airfoil section parallel to the plane of symmetry.

Method for Calculating Effects of Dissociation on Flow Variables in the Relaxation Zone Behind Normal Shock Waves
Author: John S. Evans
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Air flow
Languages : en
Pages : 668
Book Description
Because the chemical reaction rates needed to predict the dependence of degree of dissociation on distance behind the shock are not known, order-of-magnitude estimates of their values have been used in a numerical example, the purpose of which is to illustrate the use of reaction-rate equations to predict relaxation time and distance behind the shock front.

Wind-tunnel Investigation to Determine the Horizontal- and Vertical-tail Contributions to the Static Lateral Stability Characteristics of a Complete-model Swept-wing Configuration at High Subsonic Speeds

ISBN:
Category : Airplanes
Languages : en
Pages : 692
Book Description
An investigation was conducted in the Langley high-speed 7- by 10-foot tunnel to determine the horizontal- and vertical-tail contributions to the static lateral stability of a complete-model swept-wing configuration at high subsonic speeds. The results indicate that, in a general, Mach number effects within the range studied and wing effects on the tail contribution were small and the overall trends of the data of the present investigation agreed with those which have been established at low speeds.

Wind-tunnel Investigation of Effect of Sweep on Rolling Derivatives at Angles of Attack Up to 13© and at High Subsonic Mach Numbers, Including a Semiempirical Method of Estimating the Rolling Derivatives

ISBN:
Category : Airplanes
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
An investigation was performed in the Langley high-speed 7- by 10-foot tunnel in order to determine the rolling derivatives for swept-wing-body configurations at angles of attack from 0 degrees to 13 degrees and at high subsonic Mach numbers. The wings had sweep angles of 3.6 degrees, 32.6 degrees, 45 degrees, and 60 degrees at the quarter-chord line, an aspect ratio of 4, a taper ratio of 0.6, and an NACA 65A006 airfoil section parallel to the free stream. The results indicate a reduction in the damping-in-roll derivative at the higher test angles of attack. Of the wings tested, instability of the damping-in-roll derivative was experienced over the largest ranges of angle of attack and Mach number for the 32.6 sweptback wing.
