This paper is primarily concerned with the design principles of three-dimensional surfaces which can produce two-dimensional, centred compression waves and are derived from the Nonweiler wing. A study is made of the ...
Stream surfaces from the flow through a plane shock wave are used as compression surfaces to obtain high lift to drag ratios. The inviscid performance of these compression surfaces is known exactly, and at given values of ...
The purpose of this paper is to show how to obtain steady-state solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations on an automatic digital computer. First the relative merits of various finite-difference formulae are discussed. ...
Interest has recently been revived in an apparatus which was first developed fifty years ago. This apparatus, which is known today as a shock tube, consists of a simple duct which may be closed or open at one end, and ...
Two Life Tests recently suggested by various Government Agencies are described in sections 1 and 4 respectively and the consequences of their application are discussed. It is shown that to satisfy them with some reasonable ...
Summary.--The object of this report is two-fold. On the mathematical side it seeks to illustrate the use of oblique co-ordinates in applications to Elasticity and Structure Theory. On the practical side it seeks to provide ...
The report comprises two contrasting and complementary approaches to the evaluation of the second-order aerodynamic side force and yawing moment on lifting wings when leading-edge and side-edge forces play an important ...
A finite-deflection analysis is given of the buckling of long, slightly curved panels in compression parallel to the generators, with sides either clamped or simply-supported, and with various combinations of boundary ...
Some factors affecting the design of a row of windows in a pressurized cylindrical fuselage are discussed. The concept of the neutral hole is adopted, but account is taken of the change in the basic 2:1 stress field ...
It has been shown in R. & M. 2611 how lift may be obtained on aerofoils independently of the incidence. In this paper mathematical processes are set out of designing such aerofoils to have specified velocity distributions ...
This paper has been prepared for publication from several papers written some years ago. It is essentially a new presentation of the more important features of the earlier papers. The paper is about the transonic area rule, ...

The driver-reservoir technique, first proposed by Henshall et al, is of interest to shock tunnel users because of its promise of an increase in running time. The most usual form of termination of running time in the shock ...
