Ministry of Technology Aeronautical Research Council Reports and Memoranda

چکیده
This Report describes investigations on spanwise non-uniformity in boundary-layer flow at low subsonic speeds over a range of experimental conditions, covering particularly the effect of varying number and open-air ratio of screens, type of honeycomb, flow contraction, surface curvature, and downstream position of measuring plane. Regions with laminar and turbulent boundary layers were investigated. Bradshaw's investigations into the effect of open-area ratio are confirmed. The conclusion is drawn that in a boundary-layer tunnel, where spanwise uniformity is essential, at least the two downstream screens should have open-area ratios J~'~ t~an 0"57. The Report also recommends the use of a high-quality honeycomb downstream of the screens. Whilst open-area ratios greater than 0.57 are also advisable for new general-purpose tunnels, the Report suggests that the cost of changing the screens of existing tunnels is scarcely justifiable economically. .

MINISTRY OF TECHNOLOGY AERONAUTICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL REPORTS AND MEMORANDA The Structure and Behaviour of Laminar Separation Bubbles
A study has been made of laminar separation bubbles formed over a wide range of Reynolds numbers and in a variety of pressure distributions. The structure of the bubble depended on the value of the Reynolds number of the separating boundary layer and a parameter based on the pressure rise over the region occupied by the bubble. Conditions for the bursting of 'short' bubbles were determined by a...

This review divides naturally into sections covering the war and postwar periods. Parts 1 and 3 give surveys of the work which came within the purview of the Aeronautical Research Committee until its reconstitution as a Council in 1945, and of the Council since that date, respectively. Part 2 describes matters concerned with the formation of the Council. (iv) A numerical list of papers publishe...
