Book excerpt: Laminar-flow control is an area of aeronautical research that has a long history at NASA's Langley Research Center, Dryden Flight Research Center, their predecessor organizations, and elsewhere. In this monograph, Albert L. Braslow, who spent much of his career at Langley working with this research, presents a history of that portion of laminar-flow technology known as active laminar-flow control, which employs suction of a small quantity of air through airplane surfaces. This important technique offers the potential for significant reduction in drag and, thereby, for large increases in range or reductions in fuel usage for aircraft. For transport aircraft, the reductions in fuel consumed as a result of laminar-flow control may equal 30 percent of present consumption.

Book excerpt: "This monograph presents a history of suction-type laminar-flow-control re- search in the National Advisory Commit tee for Aeronautics and its successor organization, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, plus selected other organizations, with an emphasis on flight research. Laminar-flow control is a technology that offers the potential for improvements in aircraft fuel usage, range or endurance that far exceed any known single aeronautical technology. For transport-type airplanes, e.g., the fuel burned might be decreased a phenomenal 30 percent. Fuel reduction will not only help conserve the earth's limited supply of petroleum but will also reduce engine emissions and, therefore, air pollution. In addition, lower fuel usage will reduce the operating costs of commercial airplanes at least eight percent, depending upon the cost of the fuel and, therefore, will curtail ticket prices for air travel. Laminar-flow control is also the only aeronautical technology that offers the capability of designing a transport airplane that can fly nonstop without refueling from anywhere in the world to anywhere else in the world or that can remain aloft without refueling for approximately 24 hours. These enormous performance improvements that are potentially available for commercial or military applications, therefore, have made the concept the "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow" for aeronautical researchers."--P. 1.

Download or read book Flow Control written by Thomas C. Corke and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-11 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive treatment of passive and active flow control in fluid dynamics, with an emphasis on utilizing fluid instabilities for enhancing control performance. Examples are given from a wide range of technologically important flow fields occurring in aerospace applications, from low-subsonic to hypersonic Mach numbers. This essential book can be used for both research and teaching on the topics of fluid instabilities, fluid measurement and flow actuator techniques, and problem sets are provided at the end of each chapter to reinforce key concepts and further extend readers' understanding of the field. The solutions manual is available as a online resource for instructors. The text is well suited for both graduate students in fluid dynamics and for practising engineers in the aerodynamics design field.
