Recent Method

An experimental study of the flow past a thin finite length plate in a supersonic low density stream is reported. The paper discusses the corrections that are necessary for surface pressures measured under rarefied conditions. It is shown that the recent method of ‘orifice’ corrections due to Harbour & Bienkowski is versatile and reliable to use for both cold wall and insulated wall measurements. For the conditions of the experiment, the flow over the plate was found to be dominated by both leading-edge and trailing-edge interactions.

Flow Functions

The flow around the yawed plate in the regime of strong interaction is considered in the case when the pressure at its trailing edge is not constant, but changes along the transverse coordinate. It is shown that in the case of large transverse gradients of the induced pressure, the type of expansions of flow functions in the vicinity of the leading edge changes significantly and the third term of the expansions should be taken into account.

7. We have discussed the gliding of a plate of finite length on a stream of finite depth. Numerical calculations have been made for the case when the angle of incidence of the plate to the stream was 30°, the results for any other angle being similar.It was found that, for a given depth of stream and a given height of the trailing edge above the bed of the stream, the value of the lift increases with the length of the plate, until finally, when the plate is infinitely long, the lift assumes a maximum value. Further, for a given depth of stream, the total normal lift on the plate is independent of its height above the bed of the stream, when the length of the plate is small, except when the trailing edge of the plate is above the surface of the stream. Finally, when the depth of the stream is very large and the plate is near the middle of the stream, then our solution approximates to the classical Rayleigh flow past a plate in an infinite fluid.

Primary Instability

The primary instability of the flow past rectangular cylinders is studied to comprehensively describe the influence of the aspect ratio $AR$ and of rounding the leading- and/or trailing-edge corners. Aspect ratios ranging between $0.25$ and $30$ are considered. We show that the critical Reynolds number ( $\textit {Re}_c$ ) corresponding to the primary instability increases with the aspect ratio, starting from $\textit {Re}_c \approx 34.8$ for $AR=0.25$ to a value of $\textit {Re}_c \approx 140$ for $AR = 30$ . The unstable mode and its dependence on the aspect ratio are described. We find that positioning a small circular cylinder in the flow modifies the instability in a way strongly depending on the aspect ratio. The rounded corners affect the primary instability in a way that depends on both the aspect ratio and the curvature radius. For small $AR$ , rounding the leading-edge corners has always a stabilising effect, whereas rounding the trailing-edge corners is destabilising, although for large curvature radii only. For intermediate $AR$ , instead, rounding the leading-edge corners has a stabilising effect limited to small curvature radii only, while for $AR \geqslant 5$ it has always a destabilising effect. In contrast, for $AR \geqslant 2$ rounding the trailing-edge corners consistently increases $\textit {Re}_c$ . Interestingly, when all the corners are rounded, the flow becomes more stable, at all aspect ratios. An explanation for the stabilising and destabilising effect of the rounded corners is provided.

Disturbance Field

It is now generally agreed that an external disturbance field, such as an incident acoustic wave, can effectively couple to instabilities of a flow past a trailing edge. One purpose of the present paper is to show that there are situations where a similar coupling can occur at a leading edge. The process is analysed and the effects of experimentally controllable parameters are assessed. It is important to account for such phenomena when evaluating the effect of external disturbances on transition.

Light Flashes

The emission of light from spark-generated bubbles freely oscillating in water far from boundaries is studied experimentally. The observations concentrate on light flashes radiated at final stages of the first bubble contraction and early stages of the following bubble expansion. It is shown that the shape of the emitted light pulses is not “Gaussian”, but asymmetric with a leading edge moderately growing and a trailing edge steeply decreasing. The maximum values and widths of these optical pulses are determined for bubbles having different sizes and oscillating with different intensities. The variation of the maximum values and pulse widths with bubble size and intensity of oscillation is discussed, as well as the observed weak correlation between these two quantities.
