On a New Method for Calculating the Potential Flow Past a Body of Revolution (open access)

On a New Method for Calculating the Potential Flow Past a Body of Revolution

"A new method is presented for obtaining the velocity potential of the flow about a body of revolution moving uniformly in the direction of its axis of symmetry in a fluid otherwise at rest. This method is based essentially on the fact that the form of the differential equation for the velocity potential is invariant with regard to conformal transformation of the meridian plane. By means of the conformal transformation of the meridian profile into a circle a system of orthogonal curvilinear coordinates is obtained, the main feature of which is that one of the coordinate lines is the meridian profile itself" (p. 7).

Effect of Engine-Operating Variables and Internal Coolants on Spark-Advance Requirements of a Liquid-Cooled Cylinder (open access)

Effect of Engine-Operating Variables and Internal Coolants on Spark-Advance Requirements of a Liquid-Cooled Cylinder

"Tests were conducted to determine the effect of engine-operating variables and internal coolants on spark-advance requirements of a single cylinder from a 12-cylinder liquid-cooled engine for maximum take-off power and maximum cruise economy. The effects of fuel-air ratio, engine speed, air flow (charge density), mixture temperature, and internal coolants on peak-power (optimum) spark advance were investigated. In addition, tests were conducted to determine the effect of spark advance on the knock-limited engine performance at several mixture temperatures for conditions simulating take-off, high-power cruise, and low-power cruise" (p. 1).

On the Theory of Oscillating Airfoils of Finite Span in Subsonic Compressible Flow (open access)

On the Theory of Oscillating Airfoils of Finite Span in Subsonic Compressible Flow

"The problem of oscillating lifting surface of finite span in subsonic compressible flow is reduced to an integral equation. The kernel of the integral equation is approximated by a simpler expression, on the basis of the assumption of sufficiently large aspect ratio. With this approximation the double integral occurring in the formulation of the problem is reduced to two single integrals, one of which is taken over the chord and the other over the span of the lifting surface" (p. 969).
