Equation relates flow at free jet to flow downstream

Nonlinear equation relates the flowrate at an orifice to that at a station downstream from the orifice. This equation should aid in understanding combustion instabilities and should not be subject to the substantial errors of prior analytical methods.

Flow field measurements for cylindrical configurations in a hypersonic wind tunnel: Windward and leeward flow fields

Windward and leeward measurements were made for a variety of simulated infinite cylinders exposed to hypersonic streams over an angle of attack from 30 deg to 90 deg. For the range of conditions included in the study, the following conclusions are made: (1) Swept cylinder theory provides a reasonable correlation of the measured laminar heat transfer rates from the plane of symmetry. (2) The boundary layer transition criteria in the plane of symmetry are a function of the transverse curvature. (3) Relaminarization of the circumferential boundary layer for a right circular cylinder was observed at the highest Reynolds number tested. (4) The effect of leeside geometry on the average heat transfer rate can be correlated with a single geometric parameter which is dependent on the location of separation. (5) The relationship of leeward heating to angle of attack is virtually linear for each cross section. (6) No systematic effect of free stream Reynolds number was observed.
