This book was released on 1946 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary: Tests were conducted with two typical low-drag airfoils of 90-inch chord to determine the effects of surface projections, grooves, and sanding scratches on boundary-layer transition. The Reynolds number at which a spanwise row of cylindrical projections would cause premature transition was determined for a range of Reynolds number from approximately 3 x 106 to 10 x 106. Data were obtained for projections of various sizes and chordwise locations on both low-drag airfoils. The results were analyzed on the assumption that the critical airfoil Reynolds number for a given projection was a function only of the local-flow conditions around the projection. This assumption neglected possible effects of tunnel turbulence, pressure gradient, boundary-layer Reynolds number, and the original extent of the laminar flow. The data correlated on the basis of this assumption within a range of critical airfoil Reynolds number of ±0.5 x 106 and within a range of projection height of ±0.002 inch. The tests of surface grooves and sanding scratches indicated that, for the range of Reynolds number investigated, the laminar boundary layer was much less sensitive to surface grooves and sanding scratches than to projections above the surface.

Download or read book The Effects of Roughness at High Reynolds Numbers on the Lift and Drag Characteristics of Three Thick Airfoils written by Frank T. Abbott and published by . This book was released on 1944 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In connection with studies of airfoils applicable to large high-speed aircraft, the effects of roughness on three 22-percent-thick airfoils were investigated. The tests were made over a range of Reynolds numbers from about 6,000,000 to 26,000,000 for the airfoils smooth and with roughness strips applied to the surfaces. The results indicated that for the roughened models the scale effect was generally favorable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an ideal book for graduate students and researchers interested in the aerodynamics, structural dynamics and flight dynamics of small birds, bats and insects, as well as of micro air vehicles (MAVs), which present some of the richest problems intersecting science and engineering. The agility and spectacular flight performance of natural flyers, thanks to their flexible, deformable wing structures, as well as to outstanding wing, tail and body coordination, is particularly significant. To design and build MAVs with performance comparable to natural flyers, it is essential that natural flyers' combined flexible structural dynamics and aerodynamics are adequately understood. The primary focus of this book is to address the recent developments in flapping wing aerodynamics. This book extends the work presented in Aerodynamics of Low Reynolds Number Flyers (Shyy et al. 2008).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A matrix of airfoils has been developed to determine the effects of airfoil thickness and the maximum lift to leading-edge roughness. The matrix consists of three natural-laminar-flow airfoils, the S901, S902, and S903, for wind turbine applications. The airfoils have been designed and analyzed theoretically and verified experimentally in the Pennsylvania State University low-speed, low-turbulence wind tunnel. The effect of roughness on the maximum life increases with increasing airfoil thickness and decreases slightly with increasing maximum lift. Comparisons of the theoretical and experimental results generally show good agreement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boundary Layer and Flow Control: Its Principles and Application, Volume 2 focuses on the layer of fluid in the immediate area of a bounding surface where the effects of viscosity are substantial. This book is organized into two main topics—boundary layer control for low drag, and shock-induced separation and its prevention by design and boundary layer control. It specifically discusses the nature of transition, effect of two-dimensional and isolated roughness on laminar flow, and progress in the design of low drag aerofoils. The onset of separation effects for aerofoils and wings, shock-induced separation for laminar boundary layers, and shock-induced separation for laminar boundary layers are also deliberated. This volume is recommended to physicists and specialists interested in boundary layer and flow control.
