Airfoil profiles for minimum pressure drag at supersonic velocities -- general analysis with application to linearized supersonic flow (open access)

Airfoil profiles for minimum pressure drag at supersonic velocities -- general analysis with application to linearized supersonic flow

From Summary: "A theoretical investigation is made of the airfoil profile for minimum pressure drag at zero lift in supersonic flow. In the first part of the report a general method is developed for calculating the profile having the least pressure drag for a given auxiliary condition, such as a given structural requirement or a given thickness ratio. To illustrate the general method, the optimum airfoil, defined as the airfoil having minimum pressure drag for a given auxiliary condition, is calculated in a second part of the report using the equations of linearized supersonic flow."

An Approximate Method of Calculating the Deformations of Wings Having Swept, M or W, A, and Swept-Tip Plan Forms (open access)

An Approximate Method of Calculating the Deformations of Wings Having Swept, M or W, A, and Swept-Tip Plan Forms

"An approximate method of calculating the deformations of wings of uniform thickness having swept, M or W, Delta, and swept-tip plan forms is presented. The method employs an adjustment to the elementary beam theory to account for the effect of the triangular root portion of a swept wing on the deformation of the outboard section of the wing. To demonstrate the general applicability of the method, the modified elementary theory is applied to the more complex M or W, Delta, and swept-tip plan forms as well as to swept plan forms" (p. 1).

Axisymmetric Supersonic Flow in Rotating Impellers (open access)

Axisymmetric Supersonic Flow in Rotating Impellers

"General equations are developed for isentropic, frictionless, axisymmetric flow in rotating impellers with blade thickness taken into account and with blade forces eliminated in favor of the blade-surface function. It is shown that the total energy of the gas relative to the rotating coordinate system is dependent on the stream function only, and that if the flow upstream of the impeller is vortex-free, a velocity potential exists which is a function of only the radial and axial distances in the impeller. The characteristic equations for supersonic flow are developed and used to investigate flows in several configurations in order to ascertain the effect of variations of the boundary conditions on the internal flow and the work input" (p. 1).

Behavior of vortex system behind cruciform wings - motions of fully rolled-up vortices

An investigation and analysis of the motions of four fully rolled-up vortices representing the vortex system trailing behind cruciform wings by theoretical and visual-flow methods. Equations are developed for the three-dimensional paths traced by the vortices behind a cruciform wing banked 45 degrees, and calculations are made of the distance behind the wing at which the upper two vortices pass through the lower two.

The Calculated and Measured Performance Characteristics of a Heated-Wire Liquid-Water-Content Meter for Measuring Icing Severity

"Ground tests have been made of an instrument which, when assembled in a more compact form for flight installation, could be used to obtain statistical flight data on the liquid-water content of icing clouds and to provide an indication of icing severity. The sensing element of the instrument consists of an electrically heated wire which is mounted in the air stream. The degree of cooling of the wire resulting from evaporation of the impinging water droplets is a measure of the liquid-water content of the cloud" (p. 1).

Calculation of aerodynamic forces on a propeller in pitch or yaw (open access)

Calculation of aerodynamic forces on a propeller in pitch or yaw

An analysis was made to determine the applicability of existing propeller theory and the theory of oscillating airfoils to the problem of determining the magnitude of the forces on propellers in pitch or yaw. Strip calculations using compressible airfoil characteristics were first made as though steady-state conditions existed successively at several blade positions of the propeller blades during one revolution. A theory of oscillating airfoils in pulsating incompressible potential flow was then considered from which it was possible to determine factors which would modify the steady-state forces.
