The influence of upstream non-normal velocity distributions on orifice meters is studied experimentally. Several parameters, based on the velocity distribution, were found to correlate with the discharge coefficient. A pressure index, based on wall-pressure measurements, was also shown to correlate with the discharge coefficient. An examination of a proposed prediction method using the pressure index, showed that it appears possible to predict the performance of orifice meters when the approach profiles are non-normal.

Summary A method is described for calculating wall interference in solid-wall wind tunnels from measurements of static pressures at the walls. Since it does not require a simulation of the model flow, the technique is particularly suited to determining wall interference for complex flows such as those over VSTOL aircraft, helicopters and bluff shapes (e.g. cars and trucks). An experimental evaluation shows that the method gives wall-induced velocities which are in good agreement with those of existing methods in cases where these techniques are valid, and illustrates its effectiveness for inclined jets which are not readily modelled.

Blade Shape

An extension of Martensen's method is described which permits an exact solution of the inverse or blade design problem. An equation is derived for the normal velocity distributed about a given contour when a given tangential velocity is imposed about the contour and from this normal velocity an initial arbitrarily chosen blade shape may be successively modified until a blade is found having a desired surface velocity distribution. Five examples of the method are given.

Good Agreement

It is shown that a simple shock tube is capable of producing appreciable steady-flow rates through a short duct element, such as an orifice, a valve, or a screen. The flow upstream and downstream of the test element and, therefore, also the losses caused by the test element, can be calculated from known initial conditions in the shock tube and pressure measurements at one point upstream of the element. Experiments to determine the discharge coefficient of a sharp-edged orifice are described as an illustration of the method. The results are in good agreement with available steady-flow data.

Salt Playa

In order to better understand boundary layer turbulence at high Reynolds number, the fluctuating wall pressure was measured within the turbulent boundary layer that forms over the salt playa of Utah’s west desert. Pressure measurements simultaneously acquired from an array of nine microphones were analyzed and interpreted. The wall pressure intensity was computed and compared with low Reynolds number data. This analysis indicated that the variance in wall pressure increases logarithmically with Reynolds number. Computed autocorrelations provide evidence for a hierarchy of surface pressure producing scales. Space-time correlations are used to compute broadband convection velocities. The convection velocity data indicate an increasing value for larger sensor separations. To the author’s knowledge, the pressure measurements are the highest Reynolds number, well resolved measurements of fluctuating surface pressure to date.
