Investigation of separated flows in supersonic and subsonic streams with emphasis on the effect of transition

Description: Report presents the results of experimental and theoretical research conducted on flow separation associated with steps, bases, compression corners, curved surfaces, shock-wave boundary-layer reflections, and configurations producing leading-edge separation. Results were obtained from pressure-distribution measurements, shadowgraph observations, high-speed motion pictures, and oil-film studies. The maximum scope of measurement encompassed Mach numbers between 0.4 and 3.6, and length Reynolds nu… more

Preliminary investigation of Guy alloy as a turbojet-engine bucket material for use at 1650 degrees F

Description: As-cast buckets of Guy alloy, a cast nickel-base material, were run in a J33-9 turbojet engine for cycles of 15 minutes at rated speed and 5 minutes at idle speed. Stress rupture, impace and engine-performance data indicate that Guy alloy may be considered for bucket use at a temperature of 1650 degrees F. Ductility and impact strength of Guy alloy is limited but appears to be adequate for bucket applications.

Free-flight investigation at Mach numbers between 0.5 and 1.7 of the zero-lift rolling effectiveness and drag of various surface, spoiler, and jet controls on an 80 degree delta-wing missile

Description: Report presenting a free-flight investigation of the zero-lift rolling effectiveness and drag of 18 roll-control arrangements on a cruciform 80 degree delta-wing missile-like configuration over a range of Mach numbers. Testing was made of deflected surfaces, spoilers, and inlet-air-jet devices to give evidence to simple theory for deflected surfaces and to determine some effects of chordwise location for spoilers and blowing direction and spanwise location for jets near the wing trailing edge. … more

A Semigraphical Method for the Determination of the Rolling Characteristics of Rolleron-Equipped Missiles

Description: "A semigraphical analysis method has been devised to evaluate the effectiveness and dynamic stability of rolleron roll-rate dampers on missile configurations. The necessary charts, equations, and the analysis procedure have been presented. The greatest utility of these charts and of the method outlined is that, once a point on the charts has been established at a given flight condition, if the response is not acceptable than the necessary modifications to the parameters of the system are readil… more
