Abstract: This analysis concerns itself with the loading calculation of a thin-ring airfoil symmetrically positioned in an unbounded spherical source flow field. A spherical source was used to replace the ...

Abstract: Contoured wall diffusers are designed by using an inverse method. The prescribed wall velocity distribution(s) was taken from the high lift airfoil designed by A. A. Griffith in 1938; therefore, ...

Abstract: The design of air-to-air, thrust augmenting ejectors having short curved wall diffuses utilizing boundary layer control is discussed. The design is achieved by an inverse method which uses the ...

Abstract: For inverse problems in complex flow passages, a calculation procedure based on a multizone Navier-Stokes method was developed. A heuristic approach was employed to derive wall shape corrections ...
