SUPERVENTILATED FLOW PAST DELTA WINGS,
Abstract
The purpose of the experimental program was to provide the basic characteristics of the cavitating flow past delta wings, to observe and outline any interesting features of these flows and, finally, to provide a physical basis for any mathematical analysis of the flow that might be undertaken. Measurements of lift, drag and pitching moment and pressure distributions were made on a family of simple flat plate delta shapes of varying apex angle; several configurations outside this family were also tested. These included a diamond plan form, reverse delta, and a delta with a 90 degree bottom. All were withoug camber and were tested with no yaw angle.
