Investigation of Unsteady Aerodynamic Flows over Spheres and Disks.
Abstract
The report summarizes the results and conclusions reached in an experimental study of the nature of the unsteady flow about bluff bodies. The flows studied included the flow about a sphere, a disk with face normal to the flow, and an autorotating two-dimensional airfoil. The studies included flow visualization, measurements of unsteady forces and moments, the development of a low Reynolds number towing tank with air bearing carriage and detailed studies of the unsteady inviscid flow field generated by shedding of wake vorticity.
