Effects of simulated skin wrinkles on the wing surface on the aerodynamic characteristics of two wing-body combinations employing wings of low aspect ratio at subsonic and supersonic speeds (open access)

Effects of simulated skin wrinkles on the wing surface on the aerodynamic characteristics of two wing-body combinations employing wings of low aspect ratio at subsonic and supersonic speeds

Report presenting the results of an investigation to determine the effects of simulated skin wrinkling of the wing surface on the aerodynamic characteristics of two wing-body combinations. The lift, drag, and pitching moment of a low-wing wing-body combination with a plane triangular wing of aspect ratio 3 are presented for a range of Mach and Reynolds numbers.

Dissolver production tests (open access)

Dissolver production tests

In order to obtain data for the development and design of the Purex dissolvers and to demonstrate to Manufacturing and Technical personnel the feasibility of increasing the size of dissolver cuts at BiPO{sub 4} and Redox, a dissolver production test program in a BiPO{sub 4} dissolver is requested. These tests are expected to supplement the program already initiated on the 321 Bldg. dissolver, explaining dissolver behavior to the extent that existing dissolvers can be operated under more nearly optimum conditions and that new dissolvers can be designed with accuracy.
