Flow characteristics of an air jet impinging on a flat surface

Survey develops adequate heat transfer correlations for design use. Flow characteristics studies include - potential core length, velocity and pressure distribution through the jet, and spread of jet and velocity decay along jet axis.

Study of high altitude plume impingement

Computer program has been developed as analytical tool to predict severity of effects of exhaust of rocket engines on adjacent spacecraft surfaces. Program computes forces, moments, pressures, and heating rates on surfaces immersed in or subjected to exhaust plume environments. Predictions will be useful in design of systems where such problems are anticipated.

Analysis of heat-transfer tests of an impingement-convection- and film-cooled vane in a cascade

Experimental flow and heat transfer data obtained for an air-cooled turbine vane tested in a static cascade at gas temperatures and pressures to 1644 K (2500 F) and 31 N/cm2 (45 psia), respectively, are presented. Average and local vane temperatures were correlated in several ways. Calculated and measured coolant flows and vane temperatures are compared. Potential allowable increases in gas temperature are also discussed.

Engine investigation of an air-cooled turbine rotor blade incorporating impingement-cooled leading edge, chordwise passages, and a slotted trailing edge

Experimental temperatures are presented for an air-cooled turbine rotor blade tested in an engine. The data were obtained for turbine stator inlet temperatures from 2000 to 2500 F and for turbine-inlet gas pressures from 32 to 46 psia. Average and local blade heat-transfer data are correlated. Potential allowable increases in gas temperature are also discussed.

Experimental heat transfer and flow results of a chordwise-finned turbine vane with impingement, film, and convection cooling

Experimental heat transfer data are presented for a vane tested in a turbojet engine at turbine inlet gas temperatures to 1644 K (2500 F), coolant temperatures to 700 K (800 F), and coolant-to-gas flow ratios to 0.187. Methods are presented for correlating heat transfer data and obtaining coolant flow distribution through the vane. Calculated and measured coolant flow distributions and vane metal temperatures are compared.

Study of high altitude plume impingement

The radiation intensities are determined in the base region of the space shuttle due to solid particle radiation emanating from the solid rocket motors of the shuttle. Results of an analysis of the Titan 3 and simulated solid rocket motor radiation intensities are presented. The gas particle flow fields of the Titan 3 nozzle and plume and a space shuttle solid rocket motor nozzle and plume are described. The gaseous Titan 3 flow fields are discussed utilizing the results of flow fields generated by a gaseous and two phase method-of-characteristics computer programs. A two phase computer flow field analysis program was developed. An outflow correction theory is developed which will be used to modify existing convection heat transfer methods for better heat transfer predictions on bodies immersed in rocket exhaust plumes.

Dynamic loading of aircraft surfaces due to jet exhaust impingement

High-lift wing concepts being considered for application to commercial STOL transports are discussed. The flow patterns which produce dynamic loads on these wings are indicated. Measurements of surface pressure and acceleration on a one-half-scale model of an externally blown double-slotted flap are reported. Root-mean-square values, power spectra, and scaling parameters are shown.

Interference heating due to shock wave impingement on laminar boundary layers.

Laminar interference heating correlations have been developed based on recent experimental data obtained with wedge/flat plate models for wide ranges of Reynolds number and shock strength. Two correlation techniques were developed using the Eckert reference method. The peak interference Stanton number was first correlated with shock strength, Reynolds number, and Prandtl number based on flow conditions upstream of the interference region. The second approach was made by correlating peak interference Stanton number with only Reynolds number and Prandtl number based on downstream flow conditions. The laminar boundary layer remains laminar when both Reynolds number and shock strength are low but becomes transitional or turbulent when Reynolds number or/and shock strength are increased.

Pressure-loss and flow coefficients inside a chordwise-finned, impingement, convection, and film air-cooled turbine vane

Total-pressure-loss coefficients, flow discharge coefficients, and friction factors were determined experimentally for the various area and geometry changes and flow passages within an air-cooled turbine vane. The results are compared with those of others obtained on similar configurations, both actual and large models, of vane passages. The supply and exit air pressures were controlled and varied. The investigation was conducted with essentially ambient-temperature air and without external flow of air over the vane.

Research on free and impinging jets for the development of STOL aircraft

The effect of the exit plane conditions on the initial region of an axisymmetric jet was systematically investigated. An essentially top-hat mean velocity profile and a homogeneous turbulence structure were maintained at the exit plane for eight distinct scale and intensity conditions. Mass and momentum flux values are independent of the exit turbulence structure for the range investigated; however, a significant (approximately 25%) increase in the latter implies a pronounced static pressure decrement inside the jet. Details of the velocity profile and turbulence structure are influenced by the exit plane conditions. The three radial-axial components of the Reynolds stress tensor have been conditionally sampled and are analyzed to show the initial condition effects.
