Measurements of mean velocity, turbulent stress and static pressure were made in the mixing region of a jet of air issuing from a slot nozzle into still air. The velocity was low and the two-dimensional flow was effectively incompressible. The results are examined in terms of the unsimplified equations of fluid motion, and comparisons are drawn with the common assumptions and simplifications of free jet theory. Appreciable deviations from isobaric conditions exist and the deviations are closely related to the local turbulent stresses. Negative static pressures were encountered everywhere in the mixing field except in the potential wedge region immediately adjacent to the nozzle. Lateral profiles of mean longitudinal velocity conformed closely to an error curve at all stations further than 7 slot widths from the nozzle mouth. An asymptotic approach to complete self-preservation of the flow was observed.

The flow inside rectangular and other cavities in a wall has been investigated at low subsonic velocities using oil flow and surface static-pressure distributions. Evidence has been found of regular three-dimensional flows in cavities with large span-to-chord ratios which would normally be considered to have two-dimensional flow near their centre-lines. The dependence of the steadiness of the flow upon the cavity's span as well as its chord and depth has also been observed.

Experimental results are presented that describe the effects of bulk flow pulsations on film cooling from a single row of simple angle film cooling holes. The pulsations are in the form of sinusoidal variations of static pressure and streamwise velocity. Such pulsations are important in turbine studies because: (i) Static pressure pulsations result in significant periodic variations of film cooling flow rates, coverage, and trajectories, and (ii) static pressure pulsations occur near blade surfaces in operating engines from potential flow interactions between moving blade rows and from families of passing shock waves. Distributions of ensemble-averaged and time-averaged Reynolds stress tensor components are investigated just downstream of the holes along with distributions of all three mean velocity components. Important changes are evident in all measured quantities. In particular, maximum Reynolds shear stresses −2u′υ′/u∞2 are lower in regions containing the largest film concentrations because the strong shear layer produced by the injectant is more three dimensional, larger in extent, and oscillates its position from the wall with time.

The effects of casing shape on the performance and the interaction between the impeller and casing in a small-size turbo-compressor are investigated. Numerical analysis is conducted for the compressor with circular and single volute casings from inlet to discharge nozzle. In order to predict the flow pattern inside the entire impeller, vaneless diffuer and casing, calculations with multiple frames of reference method between the rotating and stationery parts of the domain are carried out. For compressible turbulent flow fields, the continuity and three-dimensional time-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are employed. To evaluate the performance of two types of casings, the static pressure and loss coefficients are obtained with various flow rates. Also, static pressure distributions around casings are studied for different casing shapes, which are very important to predict the distribution of radial load. To prove the accuracy of numerical results, measurements of static pressure around casing and pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the compressor are performed for the circular casing. Comparison of these results between the experimental and numerical analyses are conducted, and reasonable agreement is obtained.

An experimental investigation of the three-dimensional flow field associated with an inlet vortex is reported. The specific configuration investigated is an inlet, in proximity to a ground plane, in crosswind. Parametric data are presented to define the regimes of vortex formation in this configuration, as a function of inlet height to diameter ratio and inlet velocity ratio. The detailed static pressure distribution on the inlet is given for two quite different flow regimes, one with a strong inlet vortex and one with no inlet vortex. These new quantitative data are supplemented by flow visualization studies that allow an estimate to be made of the circulation around the inlet vortex. It is argued that the static pressure distributions in both cases can be clearly interpreted using the basic ideas of inlet vortex formation that were previously developed from (qualitative) water tunnel studies.

SummarySome experiments concerned with the wake flows of a number of flat plates of low aspect ratio (Fail, Owen and Eyre) have suggested that for large angles of inclination to the undisturbed stream the wake includes a region of recirculation. The present observations include a detailed study of this region, with particular reference to the wake produced by an equilateral triangular plate, and an attempt is made to explain why the recirculatory flow is found only at angles of incidence greater than 35°. The data includes some wind tunnel measurements of force coefficients, static pressure and mean velocity, and observations of the wake flow made in a smoke tunnel and in a water tunnel.

Results are presented from a towing-tank experiment of propeller-hull interaction conducted in order to provide detailed documentation of the complete flow field appropriate both for explicating the flow physics and validating computational methods. Mean-velocity and pressure field measurements were made for the with-and without-propeller conditions for the Series 60 CB = 0.6 hull form at numerous stations both upstream and downstream of the propeller and in the near-wake region. Surface-pressure distributions and wave profiles were measured for both conditions. Resistance and self-propulsion tests were also conducted. The experimental equipment and procedures are described, and the results are discussed to point out the essential differences between the flows with and without propeller. The results are analyzed to assess the nature of the interaction between the propeller and the hull boundary layer and wake. To this end, use is made of a propeller-performance program with both nominal and effective inflows. It is shown that most features of the interaction can be explained as a direct consequence of the propeller loading resulting from its operation with a three-dimensional nonuniform inflow.

The type of double concentric jets considered in this paper consists of a central round air jet surrounded by an annular air jet issuing into stagnant air surroundings. Detailed measurements of the mean velocity and static-pressure distributions have been made in the region close to the exit of the nozzles and the effect of varying the ratio of the velocities in the central and annular jets has been examined.
