High angle-of-attack aerodynamics has been the focus of much attention as a result of the drive to increase combat aircraft manoeuverability and thereby improve survivability. A key factor in this regime is the behaviour ...

The usefulness of the energy equation integrated over the thickness of the boundary layer, in predicing heat transfer rates to smooth body surfaces in investigated. It is found that on assuming very simple closure relations, ...

The use of hot surface films for measuring skin friction is examined. It is shown that all existing theories, which neglect heat conduction within the substrate, are inadequate in predicting the variation ...
