On the Determination of Certain Basic Types of Supersonic Flow Fields


Book Description

Abstract: A discussion is given of the application of Fourier series techniques to the problems of linearized supersonic flow. The formulation presented is an extension of the doublet type of "fundamental solution" to higher order types of singularity. The equations developed have application to wing theory but are primarily of importance in wing-body interaction problems. A specific example of a wing-body interference problem is discussed in light of the presented methods.

Wing Theory in Supersonic Flow


Book Description

Division II: Aerodynamics, Volume 7: Wing Theory in Supersonic Flow examines the cases of isolated simple wings, wings with vertical plane tail, cruciform wings, and simple or cruciform wings fitted with a body. This book presents the method for the actual calculation of isolated wings or of more complex system. Organized into 12 chapters, this volume starts with an overview of the basic equations in the mechanics of inviscid fluids. This text then presents a unified theory that is established for angularly shaped wings in supersonic flow. Other chapters consider the method for calculating the characteristics of drag, lift, and moments for various shapes of the trailing edge line. This book discusses as well the wings of ordinary shapes, delta wings, yawed wings, polygonal wings, trapezoid wings, and arrow-head or swept-back wings. The final chapter deals with a delta wing with a central fusiform body. This book is a valuable resource for teachers, students, and specialists engaged in modern aerodynamics.

User's Manual for General Supersonic Flow Analysis (DECK 1). Supplement 1


Book Description

A machine computational program designed to treat all aspects of internal nozzle flow has been developed for use on the I.B.M. 7094 Computer at the Air Force Systems Command, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The program constructs flow fields for both single or dual supersonic flows with or without shocks. This report describes the equations and numerical techniques employed and presents flow charts and specific instructions for input formats and operation of the machine program. Also included is a discussion of the fitting procedure incorporated in the program and a description of a test case with sample input and output.
