This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation into the effect of supersonic jets upon the base pressure of a bluff cylinder in a uniform subsonic flow. The ratio of jot diameter to base diameter was ...

This document is meant primarily for students (or readers) who may not be familiar with the field of aeroelasticity. The main objective of this paper is to point the reader to some important texts and papers that have been ...

Available data on the effects of suction and injection on skin friction are summarised and compared. It is shown that injection into a turbulent boundary layer can produce a skin friction coefficient lower than the ...

A simplified panel model is described, together with a number of assumptions about the mode of its bucking. The approach to the calculation of the buckling stress is by splitting the panel into a number of flat plates and ...

The effects of viscosity on the aerodynamic characteristics of wings and bodies at supersonic speeds can be assessed if we can calculate… Continues...

The two-dimensional supersonic sail is analysed using Busemann's second-order theory. It is found to have a universal shape, which is part of a Sici spiral. Aerodynamic characteristics are calculated for a few sails. The ...

Combustion systems constructed of a multiplicity of small elements appear attractive from the aspects of low pressure loss and short chamber length. A combustion chamber has been proposed, by Spalding of Cambridge University, ...

The profile drag-coefficients of a number of low-drag wings with straight trailing edges have been calculated. A comparison is made with other low-drag and conventional sections which indicates an increase in profile ...

The paper considers the case of a one-dimensional isentropic unsteady compressible flow that is driven entirely by a distribution of sources in the left-hand half space of an unbounded domain. The right-hand half-space ...

CACAD is capable to optimise the size, and configurations of turbofab-powered transport aircraft. The synthesis sizes aircraft from the low-capacity short range Fokker F-100 class to the long range medium-capacity Airbus ...
