MINISTRY OF TECHNOLOGY AERONAUTICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL REPORTS AND MEMORANDA The Structure and Behaviour of Laminar Separation Bubbles
نویسنده
چکیده
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 unique relationship between these two parameters. Hot-wire measurements of both mean and fluctuating velocity in the separated region, together with oscilloscope records of the fluctuations, explain some of the flow mechanisms involved.

MINISTRY OF SUPPLY AERONAUTICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL , REPORTS AND MEMORANDA Boundary = Layer
The report describes the results of traverses of the boundary-layer and wake encountered in a small supersonic tunnel at a Mach number of 2.5. The tunnel was arranged with two throats in parallel formed by two shaped walls enclosing a shaped central element. Both the laminar and turbulent boundary-layers were encountered and compared with existing experimental and theoretical results. The frict...

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 investig...

SUMMARY It is argued that the formulation of the method of applying a flutter constraint in weight optimisation which allows for all the methods of avoiding flutter is so complicated that it is best not to try to include a flutter constraint in a general optimisation program with other constraints but to apply it only if the structure obtained from optimisation with the other constraints alone ...

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...
متن کاملMINISTRY OF DEFENCE (PROCUREMENT EXECUTIVE) AERONAUTICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL REPORTS AND MEMORANDA Calculation of the Induced Velocity Field on and off the Wing Plane for a Swept Wing with Given Load Distribution
Computer programs have been written to evaluate the integrals of lifting-surface theory for the velocity field of a thin wing with given load distribution. Different programs are used for the downwash at points on the wing, and for any or all three velocity components off the wing. The heart of the programs is an analytic evaluation of the spanwise integral over a short line following the local...
