TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss force-measurement balances, the use of the velocity profile, pressure measurements by surface pitot tubes or about obstacles, and the analogies of heat transfer, mass transfer or surface oil flow.

TL;DR: There have been well over two hundred experimental studies published on the turbulent wall jet as mentioned in this paper, of which about one half have been prompted by heat transfer considerations and in most of these cases the flow field has been insufficiently well documented to merit close attention for the present purpose.

TL;DR: The aerodynamic design of open-circuit wind tunnels, driven by a centrifugal "blower" connected to the settling chamber by a wide-angle diffuser, is discussed in this paper.

TL;DR: A survey of recent studies of homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation and condensation processes and associated flows can be found in this article, where the phenomenological (classical) theory of the quasi-steady droplet-formation model with appropriate correction factors can be made to fit homogeneous nucleations and condensing processes in cloud-chamber, supersonic-nozzle and shock tube flows.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of single and multiple hot wire probes for low speed subsonic flows is discussed and an account is given of the origins and method of application of many of the correction procedures required.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the design of realistic configurations having partly or wholly concave undersurfaces and showed that a high-wing orbiter with moderate anhedral and a partly concave under-surface can provide about 20 % higher CL at the same angle of attack, Mach number and lift/drag ratio.

TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-empirical method based on linear instaibility theory, the so-called e9 method, was used to predict boundary layer transition in water boundary layers with heat transfer.

TL;DR: A review of the development of analytical methods and related computation techniques for the prediction of motion-induced unsteady aerodynamic inputs for problems in high-frequency aircraft dynamics, in particular for aeroelastic analyses is given in this article.
