Abstract: The flow through a safety valve vent stack system has been modeled and analyzed theoretically and experimentally. The theoretical analysis is based on the well known Chapman-Korst base flow ...

Abstract: The transient pumping characteristics of supersonic ejector systems are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The theoretical analysis of this transient problem is based on quasi-steady ...

Abstract: Recent work on the supersonic freestream-centered propulsive jet interaction problem has shown that minimum total afterbody drag can be achieved during power on flight with less than a full ...

Abstract: Compressible flow characteristics including mass flowrate, onset of “choked” flow, stagnation pressure loss, and static pressure recovery have been investigated for butterfly valves. A simplified ...

Abstract: In applications such as airborne high energy chemical lasers, diffuser size and weight can be critical parameters. This paper summarizes the authors’ research concerning the effects of flow ...
