Measurements of section pressure distribution at a mach number of 2.0 on a wing of 70 degrees sweep mounted on a waisted body

K. G. Winter; K. G. Smith (1968)

The measurements were of pressure distribution at one section of the wing and along the wing-body junction of a half model. The wing was of STAC 11 section (12 per cent thick normal to the leading edge and of roof-top ...
Measurements of skin friction on a cambered delta wing at supersonic speeds

K. G. Winter; K. G. Smith (1965)

Summary. The measurements, using razor blade surface pitot tubes, show that the relatively mild pressure gradients and streamline convergence on the wing have a large effect on local skin friction. Application of the ...
Studies of the turbulent boundary layer on a waisted body of revolution in subsonic and supersonic flow

K. G. Winter; J. C. Rotta; K. G. Smith (1968)

Summary. The object of the study was to determine the influence of Mach number, pressure gradients and streamline convergence and divergence on the development of turbulent boundary layers. Measurements were made of pressure ...
The use of surface pitot tubes as skin-friction meters at supersonic speeds

K. G. Smith; L. Gaudet; K. G. Winter (1962)

Experiments have been made, in supersonic turbulent boundary layers, on a simple type of surface pitot tube, formed by cementing a piece of razor blade over a static-pressure hole. This type of surface pitot tube has great ...
