Book Skin friction Measurements in Incompressible Flow

Download or read book Skin friction Measurements in Incompressible Flow written by Donald W. Smith and published by . This book was released on 1959 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiment have been conducted to measure the local surface-shear stress and the average skin-friction coefficient in incompressible flow for a turbulent boundary layer on a smooth flat plate having zero pressure gradient. Data were obtained for a range of Reynolds numbers from 1 million to 45 million. The local surface-shear stress was measured by a floating-element skin-friction balance and also by a calibrated total head tube located on the surface of the test wall. The average skin-friction coefficient was obtained from boundary-layer velocity profiles.

Book Skin Friction Measurements in An Incompressible Pressure Gradient Turbulent Boundary Layer  Review of Techniques and Results

Download or read book Skin Friction Measurements in An Incompressible Pressure Gradient Turbulent Boundary Layer Review of Techniques and Results written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental definition of the local and integral values of friction drag of an aircraft or its elements is one of the basic problems of applied aerodynamics. We also should note the undoubted significance of this value for the development of modern lifting profiles and other aircraft elements, the description of near-wall flows in a form of similarity laws and testing of the numerical techniques of computation of flow around such aircrafts. However, to define this value accurately, one should have a clear conception of the possibilities and efficiency of application of one or another technique for a special case of body flow around. Though any experimental work assumes application of a certain concrete technique, including one for skin friction finding, the available literature information is as a rule uncoordinated, i.e., this information reflects only the level of availability of the technique applied. For this reason the researches like devoted to the development of new techniques and investigation of the efficiency of the known ones under various experimental conditions, become very important. The simplified layout gives a pictorial view of the main techniques of skin friction measurement, existing at the present time. The detailed consideration of these techniques is given in The present paper presents a comparative analysis of a number of direct and indirect measuring techniques wen they are applied in a incompressible turbulent boundary layer of a flat plate under the conditions of formation of a unfavorable (positive) and favorable (negative) streamwise pressure gradients on the plate surface, and also in plate gradient-free flow around.

Book Direct Measurement of Skin Friction in High Temperature and Impulsively Started Supersonic Flowfields

Download or read book Direct Measurement of Skin Friction in High Temperature and Impulsively Started Supersonic Flowfields written by David M. Hazelton and published by . This book was released on 1996-06-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study further developed and improved a miniature plastic cantilever floating element gauge for direct measurement of skin friction in shock tunnel tests. Gauge durability and usability were improved, and potential sources of error were quantified. A high frequency 30 kHz gauge (compared to the baseline 10 kHz gauge) was constructed by using an I-beam cantilever rather than a round beam. A directional gauge was developed and demonstrated by measuring the flowfield about a fin in the AFIT shock tunnel. The 10 kHz and 30 kHz gauges were used in two scramjet test sequences conducted at Mach 14 enthalpy (stagnation temperature of 6,000K); the first at the NASA Ames 16 inch shock tunnel with steady run time of 2 msec, the second at General Applied Science Laboratories' Hypulse facility with run time of 0.4 msec. A lower frequency gauge was used in Wright Laboratory Mach 6 wind tunnel tests. The cantilever gauge proved to be a rugged and accurate method of measuring skin friction. The I-beam gauge provides high frequency capability for facilities with very short run times. The directional gauge facilitates skin friction measurement where crossflow exists. The scramjet measurements provided engine designers with valuable efficiency data.

Book Sensing and Control for Autonomous Vehicles

Download or read book Sensing and Control for Autonomous Vehicles written by Thor I. Fossen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-26 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume includes thoroughly collected on sensing and control for autonomous vehicles. Guidance, navigation and motion control systems for autonomous vehicles are increasingly important in land-based, marine and aerial operations. Autonomous underwater vehicles may be used for pipeline inspection, light intervention work, underwater survey and collection of oceanographic/biological data. Autonomous unmanned aerial systems can be used in a large number of applications such as inspection, monitoring, data collection, surveillance, etc. At present, vehicles operate with limited autonomy and a minimum of intelligence. There is a growing interest for cooperative and coordinated multi-vehicle systems, real-time re-planning, robust autonomous navigation systems and robust autonomous control of vehicles. Unmanned vehicles with high levels of autonomy may be used for safe and efficient collection of environmental data, for assimilation of climate and environmental models and to complement global satellite systems. The target audience primarily comprises research experts in the field of control theory, but the book may also be beneficial for graduate students.

Book Numerical Ship Hydrodynamics

Download or read book Numerical Ship Hydrodynamics written by Lars Larsson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-09-30 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the state-of-the-art in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applied to ship hydrodynamics and provides guidelines for the future developments in the field based on the Gothenburg 2010 Workshop. It presents ship hull test cases, experimental data and submitted computational methods, conditions, grids and results. Analysis is made of errors for global (resistance, sinkage and trim and self-propulsion) and local flow (wave elevations and mean velocities and turbulence) variables, including standard deviations for global variables and propeller modeling for self-propulsion. The effects of grid size and turbulence models are evaluated for both global and local flow variables. Detailed analysis is made of turbulence modeling capabilities for capturing local flow physics. Errors are also analyzed for head-wave seakeeping and forward speed diffraction, and calm-water forward speed-roll decay. Resistance submissions are used to evaluate the error and uncertainty by means of a systematic verification and validation (V&V) study along with statistical investigations. Post-workshop experimental and computational studies are conducted and analyzed for evaluation of facility biases and to draw more concrete conclusions regarding the most reliable turbulence model, appropriate numerical methods and grid resolution requirements, respectively.
