Two recent papers have investigated the effect of variable surface temperature on heat transfer. It seems therefore worth while to record the extension of the method given in R. & M. 1986 to the case of variable surface ...
During the preparation at the N.P.L. of a manual of tunnel interference the necessity arose for calculating additional values of the blockage-interference corrections for small bodies in incompressible flow in rectangular ...
It is shown on the basis of the linearised theory that the effects of compressibility on the lift and hinge-moment characteristics of a wing and full-span control are functions of aspect ratio. With reduction in aspect ...
The influence of spanwise flow on the lift distribution for a thin flexible wing of any plan form is considered. By the use of Eulel's equations for incompressible, inviscid flow, it is shown that the lift distribution is ...
In studying anct comparing various theories for the determination of the distribution of loading on wings, Garner has given values for the lift slope of several families of swept-back and delta wings deduced from several ...
The maintenance of laminar-flow wings involves two problems:-- (1) The prevention of deterioration in the surface itself (e.g. cracking of the paint or filler, increase in roughness or waviness, etc., whether due to ...
(a) Purpose of Note.--To draw attention to certain restrictions on the use of the 'Southwell plot' to estimate critical loads in cases differing in conditions from those which the method was first proposed. (b) Range of ...
A re-assessment of a generally accepted theory of parachute stability has been made with the object of clarifying the assumptions used in its derivation and exposing deficiencies in previous treatments. Some new, equations ...
Existing theories for the Stanton tube are critically reviewed, and the paper then outlines a simple method which predicts the calibration function at high Reynolds numbers to the right order of magnitude.
