An experimental and numerical study was performed on a Clark Y aerofoil with a 10% chord leading edge Kruger flap to examine its aerodynamic performance at Reynolds numbers of 0.6 × 106, 1 × 106, and 1.6 × 106, to help ...

A combined experimental and theoretical study is described of the low speed flow over a highly swept and cambered wing that simulates the flow features of a transonic manoeuvre condition. The thesis is divided into two ...

The results from a series of low speed wind tunnel tests on two half model highly swept wings (a symmetrical aerofoil section and a highly cambered aerofail section) are presented in order to examine the trailing edge ...

An experimental investigation has been carried out to study and understand the influence of an end plate boundary layer on half delta wing models at low Reynolds Number. The programme involved measurements in two facilities: ...

This work presents a preliminary investigation into tiltrotor propeller/nacelle/wing flows, and the flow breakdowns that can lead to the phenomenon of whirl flutter. Static blade measurements were performed, results ...

When a vehicle travels at hypersonic speeds during launch, cruise or atmospheric re-entry it is subject to extremely high surface flow temperatures. As well as on the vehicle forebody, extreme heating can take place close ...

Results are presented following a series of experimental measurements on a submerged NACA type intake orientated between ±30 degrees yaw to the free stream in an atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel at a unit Reynolds ...

The results of an experimental investigation of the bootdeck flow structure of a 36 per cent scale model notchback car are presented together with a general review of advanced laser diagnostic techniques suitable for ...

Motor car crosswind stability can be adversely affected by reductions in both vehicle mass and drag coefficient. As these are two likely results of future developments the importance of research into vehicle aerodynamic ...

The vortex wake characteristics of aircraft during landing and take-off are of interest in connection with both the safety of following aircraft penetrating the vortex and the dispersion of engine exhaust plumes. A series ...
