Showing papers in "Progress in Aerospace Sciences in 1988"

TL;DR: A review of vortex breakdown research can be found in this paper, where the authors give an overview of the current level of understanding and assess, in the light of the available experimental evidence, the various theoretical proposals which have been made over the years.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of passive control shock boundary layer control in transonic flow is presented, showing that passive control can reduce drag, increase lift and reduce unsteady pressures on an aerofoil.

TL;DR: Coherent structures as discussed by the authors have been defined as regions of concentrated vorticity, characteristic and flow-specific organization, recurrence, appreciable lifetime and scale, and have been the primary object of scientific curiosity and dispute in turbulence research.

TL;DR: The variable wing camber concept described in this paper represents a promising contribution to this target, which not only provides potentials for performance improvements but also increases the operational flexibility for new aircraft designs.

TL;DR: In this article, a survey of experiments on the flow near rotating bodies is presented, where the flow and the instabilities around, between and within these rotating bodies and combinations of them are investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive review of the entire shock wave reflection phenomenon from a phenomenological point of view is presented, which is divided into three parts: reflection in pseudo-steady flows, reflection in steady flows, and reflection in truly unsteady flows.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply Whitham's first-order theory for steady flow at moderate supersonic Mach numbers around axisymmetric bodies to determine sonic boom overpressure signatures from bodies of various shapes.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general method is presented using the rigorous kinetic theory to calculate the equilibrium composition and transport properties such as the viscosity, the thermal conductivity, the electrical conductivities, the electron diffusion coefficient and the mobility coefficient.

TL;DR: In this paper, 14 modern calculation methods for three-dimensional turbulent boundary layers are described and the results of applying these methods to common test cases are also available, but will be reported separately.
