An Experimental Investigation of the Compressible Turbulent Boundary Layer with a Favorable Pressure Gradient


Book Description

The paper describes the results of a detailed experimental investigation of a two-dimensional turbulent boundary layer in a favorable pressure gradient where the free-stream Mach number varied from 3.8 to 4.6 and the ratio of wall to adiabatic-wall temperature has a nominal value of 0.82. Detailed profile measurements were made with pressure and temperature probes; skin friction was measured directly with a shear balance. The velocity- and temperature-profile results were compared with zero pressure gradient and incompressible results. The skin-friction data were correlated with momentum-thickness Reynolds number and pressure-gradient parameter. (Author).




Analysis of Turbulent Boundary Layers


Book Description

Analysis of Turbulent Boundary Layers focuses on turbulent flows meeting the requirements for the boundary-layer or thin-shear-layer approximations. Its approach is devising relatively fundamental, and often subtle, empirical engineering correlations, which are then introduced into various forms of describing equations for final solution. After introducing the topic on turbulence, the book examines the conservation equations for compressible turbulent flows, boundary-layer equations, and general behavior of turbulent boundary layers. The latter chapters describe the CS method for calculating two-dimensional and axisymmetric laminar and turbulent boundary layers. This book will be useful to readers who have advanced knowledge in fluid mechanics, especially to engineers who study the important problems of design.

Recent Advances in the Aerospace Sciences


Book Description

This volume, published in honor of Prof. Luigi Crocco, appears when Luigi Crocco celebrates his 75th birthday of a life devoted to study, research, and teaching. The events in his life and World War II forced Luigi Crocco, as well as other Italian scientists, to look to foreign countries for the calm haven so vital to study. This notwithstanding, his scientific activity was never inter rupted, and this volume is an acknowledgment of scientists and researchers to his work and life. Prefazione Questo volume in onore del prof. ing. Luigi Crocco vede la luce quando Luigi Crocco compie i 75 anni di una vita dedicata allo studio, alia ricerca e all'insegnamento. a Le vicende della vita, ed anche della 2 guerra mondiale, hanno costretto Luigi Crocco, come altri scienziati italiani, a dover cercare in altri Paesi quella serenita necessaria per dedicarsi allo studio. Ma la sua attivita scientifica non ha avuto interruzioni e questo volume essere la testimonianza di studiosi e di ricercatori alia sua opera e alia sua vita."
