DESIGN OF AIRCRAFT REVETMENTS

Abstract

Air flow over two dimensional model revetments, mounted in the 4 x 15 ihch Shock Tube, was traced by means of cigarette smoke grids photographed by a high speed framing camera. Tables of densities, flow speeds, and directions of flow, computed from the photographs, are given for an input shook wave of 8.3 psi average overpressure. Flow vectors are shown to illustrate the differences in the flow patterns for the different revetments tested.
