An important element in the development of a CFD design or analysis tool involves the validation and / or calibration of the methodology using experimental and /or other computational data. The various types of validation processes include, full configuration studies, major component studies and when possible, fundamental flow physics studies. Fundamental flow physics type of experimental studies, have commanded less interest and consequently less funding in recent years. Consequently, locating… 

Skin-Friction Measurements in An Incompressible Pressure-Gradient Turbulent Boundary Layer. Review of Techniques and Results

Abstract : Experimental definition of the local and integral values of friction drag of an aircraft or its elements is one of the basic problems of applied aerodynamics. We also should note the

Aerodynamic Characteristics of Bodies of Revolution at Near-Sonic Speeds

pressure distributions, drag, and flow characteristics around a family of sting- mounted truncated parabolic bodies of revolution at near-sonic and low-supersonic speeds by comparisons with an

The use of surface pilot tubes as skin friction meters at supersonic speeds

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 statie pressure hole. This type of

Turbulent Boundary Layer in Supersonic Flow

Abstract : The book discusses the results of theoretical and experimental studies of skin friction, heat transfer, and mass transfer in a turbulent boundary layer at supersonic gas velocities. At the

Low-Speed on a Measurements of Skin-Friction Slender Wing

Extensive measurements have been made with surface pitot-tubes of the skin friction on the upper surface of a slender wing. The surface pitot-tubes took the form of razor-blade segments attached

The Determination of Turbulent Skin Friction by Means of Pitot Tubes

Summary A simple method of determining local turbulent skin friction on a smooth surface has been developed which utilises a round pitot tube resting on the surface. Assuming the existence of a

Measurement of Skin Friction Using Surface Tubes

The report covers an extension of the surface tube technique devised by T. E. Stanton to measure the intensity of skin friction. A simple surface tube is described and a method of varying the surface
