This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on laminar flow and its transition to turbulent flow has been an important part of fluid dynamics research during the last sixty years. Since transition impacts, in some way, every aspect of aircraft performance, this emphasis is not only understandable but should continue well into the future. The delay of transition through the use of a favorable pressure gradient by proper body shaping (natural laminar flow) or the use of a small amount of suction (laminar flow control) was recognized even in the early 1930s and rapidly became the foundation of much of the laminar flow research in the U.S. and abroad. As one would expect, there have been many approaches, both theoretical and experimental, employed to achieve the substantial progress made to date. Boundary layer stability theories have been formu lated and calibrated by a good deal of wind tunnel and flight experiments. New laminar now airfoils and wings have been designed and many have been employed in aircraft designs. While the early research was, of necessity, concerned with the design of subsonic aircraft interest has steadily moved to higher speeds including those appropriate to planetary entry. Clearly, there have been substantial advances in our understanding of transition physics and in the development and application of transition prediction methodolo gies to the design of aircraft.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of the near-legendary textbook by Schlichting and revised by Gersten presents a comprehensive overview of boundary-layer theory and its application to all areas of fluid mechanics, with particular emphasis on the flow past bodies (e.g. aircraft aerodynamics). The new edition features an updated reference list and over 100 additional changes throughout the book, reflecting the latest advances on the subject.

This book was released on 1964 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At subsonic speeds, full length laminar flow and low drags were obtained up to high length Reynolds numbers on a thin straight, on a swept laminar suction wing and on a suction body of revolution. Moderately increased suction rates in the most critical region of a straight and a swept laminar suction wing enabled full chord laminar flow in the presence of external sound. Theoretical investigatiions are concerned with nonlinear boundary layer oscillations and stability investigations (assuming small disturbances) of a supersonic laminar boundary layer on a flat plate up to high supersonic speeds as well as on a highly swept supersonic low drag suction wing of low wave drag. On a supersonic flat laminar suction plate with and without weak incident shock waves, extensive laminar flow and low equivalent drags were obtained at M = 3 up to length Reynolds numbers of 26 x 1000000. Further supersonic low drag suction experiments on a suction body of revolution, on a 36 degree supersonic yawing wing, as well as on a 72 degree supersonic yawing wing (swept behind the Mach cone) of low wave drag, are described. The latter wing showed full chord laminar flow with a subsonic type pressure distribution at M = 2 and R sub C approximately equal to 1000000. (Author).
