Progress Report for Grant AFOSR-82-0155 (Rensselear Polytechnic Institute)

Abstract

This report summarizes progress during the last year under support of the grant in three areas-- (1) suitable equations derived for the pseudo- transonic flow near the leading edge of a supersonic wind swept to the Mach angle; (2) successful hodograph plane calculations carried out according to small disturbance theory for two-dimensional and axisymmetric jets in the range between sonic and choked jets; and (3) the problem of design of a sonic airfoil in the hodograph according to the exact equations (chaplygin) has been considered.
