    An analysis of base pressure at supersonic velocities and comparison with experiment

    Chapman, Dean R.
    naca-report-1051
    1951

    In the first part of the investigation an analysis is made of base pressure in an inviscid fluid, both for two-dimensional and axially symmetric flow. It is shown that for two-dimensional flow, and also for the flow over a body of revolution with a cylindrical sting attached to the base, there are an infinite number of possible solutions satisfying all necessary boundary conditions at any given free-stream Mach number. For the particular case of a body having no sting attached only one solution is possible in an inviscid flow, but it corresponds to zero base drag. Accordingly, it is concluded that a strictly inviscid-fluid theory cannot be satisfactory for practical applications. An approximate semi-empirical analysis for base pressure in a viscous fluid is developed in a second part of the investigation. The semi-empirical analysis is based partly on inviscid-flow calculations.

    Analytical investigation of flow through high-speed mixed-flow turbine

    Stewart, Warner L.
    naca-rm-e51h06
    1951

    An analysis was made of the flow trough a high-speed mixed-flow turbine based on axially symmetric conditions. The calculated weight flow was lower than that used in the two-dimensional design. The rotor could be redesigned to increase the weight flow and a flow and alleviate undesirable pressure gradients at the expense of increased rotor blade stresses.

    Theoretical wave drags and pressure distributions for axially symmetric open-nose bodies

    John R. Jack
    naca-tn-2115
    Jun 1950

    The variations of pressure distributions and coefficients of wave drag with fineness ratio, Mach number, and area ratio were calculated from linearized theory for a variety of open- nose bodies of revolution at zero angle of attack.

    Linearized supersonic axially symmetric flow about open-nosed bodies obtained by use of stream function

    Franklin Moore
    naca-tn-2116
    Jun 1950

    The use of Stokes' stream function for axially symmetric problems in linearized supersonic flow is discussed. The computation of streamlines away from the body is shown to be facilitated by solving the stream-function problem rather than the potential problem.

    An analysis of base pressure at supersonic velocities and comparison with experiment

    Dean R. Chapman
    naca-tn-2137
    Jul 1950

    In the first part of the investigation an analysis is made of the base pressure in an inviscid fluid, both for two-dimensional and axially-symmetric flow. It is shown that for two-dimensional flow, and also for the flow over a body of revolution with a cylindrical sting attached to the base, there are an infinite number of possible solutions satisfying all necessary boundary conditions at any given free-stream Mach number. For the particular case of a body having no sting attached only one solution is possible in an inviscid flow, but it corresponds to zero base drag. Accordingly, it is concluded that a strictly inviscid-fluid theory cannot be satisfactory for practical applications. Since the exact inviscid-fluid does not adequately describe the conditions of a real fluid flow, an approximate semi-empirical second part of the investigation. The semi-empirical theory is based partly on inviscid-flow calculations, and is restricted to airfoils and bodies without boattailing. In this theory an attempt is made to allow for the effects of Mach number, Reynolds number, profile shape, and type of boundary-layer flow. The results of some recent experimental measurements of base pressure in two-dimensional and axially-symmetric flow are presented for purposes of comparison. Some experimental results also are presented concerning the support interference effect of a cylindrical sting, and the interference effect of a reflected bow wave on measurements of base pressure in a supersonic wind tunnel.

    Application of radial-equilibrium condition to axial-flow compressor and turbine design

    Wu, Chung-Hua Wolfenstein, Lincoln
    naca-report-955
    1950

    Basic general equations governing the three-dimensional compressible flow of gas through a compressor or turbine are given in terms of total enthalpy, entropy, and velocity components of the gas. Two methods of solution are obtained for the simplified, steady axially symmetric flow; one involves the use of a number of successive planes normal to the axis of the machine and short distances apart, and the other involves only three stations for a stage in which an appropriate radial-flow path is used. Methods of calculation for the limiting cases of zero and infinite blade aspect ratios and an approximate method of calculation for finite blade aspect ratio are also given. In these methods, the blade loading and the shape of the annular passage wall may be arbitrarily specified.

    Application of radial-equilibrium condition to axial-flow compressor and turbine design

    Chung-Hua Wu, Lincoln Wolfenstein
    naca-tn-1795
    Jan 1949

    Basic general equations governing the three-dimensional compressible flow of gas through a compressor or a turbine are given in terms of velocity components, total enthalpy, and entropy. These equations are used to determine the radial motion of gas through an axial-flow compressor or a turbine and the corresponding effect on the radial variations of the state of gas between successive blade rows in the case of steady, axially symmetrical flow.

    Feb 1949

    A method has been developed for evaluating from shadow or schlieren photographs the pressure drag of axially symmetrical bodies at zero angle of attack or of two-dimensional bodies producing detached shock.
