Details are given of some of the methods of solving the flutter equations which have been programmed in Mercury Autocode at the R.A.E. Included is a method of following the variation of critical speed with a linear variation ...
An attempt is made to estimate pressure distribution, tyre deflection and lift on a fully aquaplaning smooth tyre assuming an idealised non-viscous flow in front of the tyre followed by Stokes flow under the tyre. The ...
The suggestion that the sonic bang may be alleviated by electrostatic means is examined and several objections to the idea are put forward. At the same time, some theoretical aspects of supersonic electrogasdynamics are ...
