  • Tables for use in an improved method of airscrew strip theory calculation 
    Lock, C. N. H.; D. Yeatman (H. M. Stationery Office, 1934)
    An improved method of calculating the performance of an airscrew has been described in prcv:ious reports (Refs. I and 2), which includes an allowance for tip loss. The present report contains tables of a parameter (x) ...
  • Effect of discs on the air forces on a rotating cylinder 
    Thom, A. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1934)
    The Potential Flow streamlines past a circular cylinder are as shown in Fig. la ... If a circulation is superimposed the streamlines become as in Fig. lb ... As the circulation is increased the stagnation points move ...
  • The application of Goldstein's theory to the practical design of airscrews 
    Lock, C. N. H. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1930)
    A recent paper on the Vortex theory of screw propellers, by Dr. S. Goldstein in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, contains a solution of the problem of the potential flow past a body consisting of a finite number of ...
  • Experiments on the flow past a rotating cylinder 
    Thom, A. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1931)
    Parts 1 -3. In 1925 the writer made a series of measurements of the direction and velocity of the air throughout the field about a rotating cylinder. The resulting velocity contours and streamlines were published at the ...
  • The drag of circular cylinders and spheres at high values of reynolds number 
    Fage, A. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1930)
    The paper gives the results of experiments made recently to measure the drag of a circular cylinder of large diameter (23 in.). The more important measurements made in this country and abroad of the drags of circular ...
  • Heavy flexible cable for towing a heavy body below an aeroplane 
    Glauert, H. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1934)
    The mathematical expressions for the form of a heavy cable in a wind have been known for many years, but no systematic numerical results are available. Calculations have been made to derive a family of curves, depending ...
  • Further experiments on the flow around a circular cylinder 
    Fage, A.; Falkner, V. M. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1931)
    The intensity of friction on the surfaces of two cylinders of diameter 2·93 in. and 5·89 in. respectively have been determined from measurements of velocity taken at distances of about 0·0025 in. from the surface with small ...
  • The stability of a body towed by a light wire 
    Glauert, H. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1930)
    Summary.-Introductory (Purpose of Investigation.)-Owing to the practice of towing instruments belovv an aeroplane, the conditions for the stability of a towed body required investigation. Range of investigation.-The ...
  • The effects of turbulence and surface roughness on the drag of a cylinder 
    Fage, A.; J. H. Warsap (H. M. Stationery Office, 1929)
    Experiments have been made on that type of flow around a circular cylinder which is peculiarly sensitive to changes in Reynolds' number and for which the drag coefficient falls from 0.6 to 0.2 approximately. A study has ...
  • The elasticity of pintsch crystals of tungsten 
    S. J. Wright (H. M. Stationery Office, 1929)
    Very little work has hitherto been done on the Elastic Properties of Single Crystals of Metals. In the case of Tungsten, which is the only cubic crystal whose elastic constants have been determined, the previous work of ...
  • Theoretical relationships for an aerofoil with hinged flap 
    Glauert, H. (H. M. Stationery Office, 1927)
    The use of an aerofoil with a hinged flap is of very general importance both for control surfaces and for main supporting surfaces, and in particular information is required as to the effect of varying the size of the flap.
