Mangler, K.W. (author), Smith, J.H.B. (author)The flow past a slender delta wing with a sharp leading edge, at incidence, usually separates along this edge, i.e. a vortex layer extends from the edge and rolls up to form a "core" (a region of high vorticity). A potential flow model of this is constructed in which the layer is replaced by a vortex sheet which is rolled up into a spiral in the...report 1957

Smith, F.W. (author)Experiments are described on the frictional behaviour of a petroleum oil in the contact zOne between a steel roller ~nd an aluminum one at 23° C and between steel rollers and between tungsten carbide rollers at 23°C, 100°C and 190°C. The coefficient of sliding friction decreases with increasing temperature. Qualitatively, this is taken to...report 1960

Smith, G.E. (author)The critical flutter speed is evaluated for a two-dimensional thin buckled panel with one surface exposed to a supersonic airstream and the other to still air at the same static pressure. The panel is simply supported along the leading and trailing edges by rigid edge members separated by an elastic member represented by a compression spring....report 1961

Smith, K.G. (author), Winter, K.G. (author)Results are given for the boundary layer allowance on the walls of the tunnel calculated by the method of Tucker. A preliminary calibration of the working section flow has shown that the calculated values of displacement thickness are correct to within about 5%. The approximate methods of Rogers and Davis and Ruptash are in fair agreement with...report 1961

Smith, K.G. (author), Gaudet, L. (author), Winter, K.G. (author)Experiments have been made, in supersonic turbulent boundary layers, on a simple type of surface pitot tube, formed by cementing a piece of razor blade over a statie pressure hole. This type of surface pitot tube has great practical advantages, as surface shear measurements may be made on any model designed for pressure measurements. A...report 1962

Gill, F.R. (author), Smith, M.E. (author), Asteraki, J.D. (author)As part of the study to establish whether it is feasible to use a conventional I.L.S. localiser as the sole azimuth guidance aid in a civil blind landing system, the course line defined by a commercially available localiser has been carefully monitored on a special measurement site. During a continuous measurement over a 5 week period, the...report 1963

Smith, J.H.B. (author)For a Mach mumber near 2 the maximum cross-sectional area of a turbo-jet nacelle in general still exceeds the intake area. If this surplus area cannot be buried within the basic configuration adding the nacelle is likely to increase the drag. By mounting the nacelle on the under-surface of the configuration some of the resulting loss in...report 1963

Smith, K.G. (author)Graphs are provided giving the local and mean skin friction coefficients in laminar and turbulent boundary layers on flat plates with zero heat transfer. The curves cover Mach numbers up to 5 and Reynolds numbers between 10(5) and 10(8). Methods of estimating the skin friction drag of wind tunnel models are considered. The skin friction curves...report 1964

Smith, K.J.C. (author)A Monte Carlo method of evaluating the stream function for a twodimensional, irrotational, incompressible flow into a bellmouth inlet is investigated. Considered as a Dirichlet problem, this method provides a numerical solution of Laplace' s equation by performing random walks from a test point Po to a point P1, chosen uniformly at random on the...report 1965

Winter, K.G. (author), Smith, K.G. (author)The measurements, using razor blade surface pitot tubes, show that the relatively mild pressure gradients and streamline convergence on the wing have a large effect on local skin friction. Application of the boundary layer momentum equation suggests that the change in skin friction arises directly from changes in the boundary layer profile....report 1965

Smith, K.G. (author)The linearised theory results of Nielson for the wave drag due to two and three dimensional types of surface waviness on circular cylinders are discussed, and compared with results obtained by using two dimensional linearised theory and slender body theory, and with the results for waviness on a flat plate. It is shown that for the types of...report 1965

The results are expressed in the farm of an equation between...report 1965
