Comparison of Measured and Computed Boundary Layers at the Tail-End of Two Axisymmetric Bodies in the A.R.E. Quiet Wind Tunnel.
Abstract
This report shows comparisons of velocity profiles measured at the tail end of two axisymmetric bodies with velocity profiles produced by a potential flow and first order boundary layer computer model. The computer program can produce excellent agreement with measured data if the boundary layer transition position can be optimized in the computation. This program will be a valuable aid to determining the model and duct configuration although some preliminary testing of models may be necessary to establish the actual boundary layer transition position and to change it using a boundary layer trip device or to optimise the position selected for the computation.
