A METHOD OF WAKE PRODUCTION IN WATER TUNNELS,

Abstract

A procedure for producing prescribed, arbitrary longitudinal velocity distributions in water tunnels, by arrangements of wire screens, is outlined. A theory for flow past nonuniform screens is summarized and experimental results are presented, along with a description of the method of screen fabrication. The predicted and measured velocity distributions are found to be in good agreement. (Author)
