Wind-tunnel investigation of stall control by suction through a porous leading edge on a 37 degree sweptback wing of aspect ratio 6 at Reynolds numbers from 2.50 x 10(exp 6) to 8.10 x 10(exp 6)

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the effects of suction through a porous leading-edge surface in the 19-foot pressure tunnel on a wing with 37 degrees of sweepback of the leading edge, an aspect ratio of 6, taper ratio of 0.5, and NACA 64(sub 1)-212 airfoil sections normal to the 27-percent-chord line. Results regarding the wing without flaps, wing with trailing-edge flaps, and power requirements for porous-leading-edge suction are provided.

Comparison of measured and predicted indicated angles of attack near the fuselages of a triangular-wing wind-tunnel model and a swept-wing fighter airplane in flight

Description: Report presenting measurements of the local flow angles near the fuselages of a triangular-wing wind-tunnel model and an F-86A-5 airplane in flight using airflow detectors on the fuselages. A comparison of the measured and predicted flow angles is provided. Results indicated that the accuracy of the predicted indicated angles of attack was not sufficient to eliminate the necessity of a flight calibration of a detector mounted on a fuselage.

Smoke studies of secondary flows in bends, tandem cascades, and high-turning configurations

Description: Flow-visualization studies, using smoke, were made of the secondary flows in rectangular bends, tandem cascades, and high-turning configurations. The roll-up of the wall boundary layer of a rectangular bend forms a passage vortex near the suction surface similar to that previously observed for cascades. The vortex so formed then shifts out into the main stream. Because of leading-edge effects, the boundary-layer flows in bends were found to be sufficiently different from the flows in blade rows… more
