Effect of Certain Combinations of Wall Contouring and Design Exit Velocity Distribution on Prediction of Turbine-Nozzle Mass Flow (open access)

Effect of Certain Combinations of Wall Contouring and Design Exit Velocity Distribution on Prediction of Turbine-Nozzle Mass Flow

Report presenting an investigation to determine if certain combinations of design nozzle-exit velocity distribution and wall contouring can alter the three-dimensional flow characteristics such that nozzle mass flow cannot be predicted by ordinary two-dimensional design techniques. Four nozzle configurations with different wall contours and velocity distributions were tested. Results regarding the comparison of analytical and experimental values of mass flow are provided.

A Preliminary Investigation at Mach Number 1.91 of an Inlet Configuration Designed for Insensitivity to Positive Angle-of-Attack Operation (open access)

A Preliminary Investigation at Mach Number 1.91 of an Inlet Configuration Designed for Insensitivity to Positive Angle-of-Attack Operation

Report presenting an investigation to determine the pressure-recovery and mass-flow characteristics of an inlet configuration designed to be less sensitive to positive angle-of-attack operation than a conventional conical inlet. Results regarding the straight plate, plate swept 47.5, plates swept 42 degrees and 24 degrees, perforated plates, and a general comparison are provided.

Wind-Tunnel Investigation to Determine the Horizontal- and Vertical-Tail Contributions to the Static Lateral Stability Characteristics of a Complete-Model Swept-Wing Configuration at High Subsonic Speeds (open access)

Wind-Tunnel Investigation to Determine the Horizontal- and Vertical-Tail Contributions to the Static Lateral Stability Characteristics of a Complete-Model Swept-Wing Configuration at High Subsonic Speeds

Results regarding an investigation to determine the horizontal- and vertical-tail contributions to the static lateral stability of a complete-model swept-wing configuration at high subsonic speeds. Generally, Mach number effects within the range studied and wing effects on the tail contribution were small and the overall trends of the data of the present investigation agreed with those which have been established at low speeds.
