LABORATORY INVESTIGATION OF THE BASIC NATURE OF LOW DENSITY GAS FLOW AT HIGH SPEEDS.

Abstract

Contents: An experimental study of the reduction in drag on a rotating cylinder when held at moderately low pressure for extended periods of time (the soaking effect); Free molecule couette flow between rotating cylinders; The development of intense source of molecular beams for use in direct observations of gas - solid interactions; Velocity analysis of molecular beams; The reflection of molecular beams from a rotating target.
