Rotor Incoming Velocity Profile Measurements.

Abstract

Boundary layer profiles were measured for various flow conditions at a position in front of a rotor. The rotor was located at the downstream end on an axisymmetric body. Results were obtained with/without upstream appendages, with/without upstream screen, and for an design/off design rotor flow coefficients. All tests were conducted in the 48-inch diameter wind tunnel at a nominal velocity of 80 fps. (Author)
