A mechanism of cavity-induced pressure oscillation in supersonic flows is not well understood in spite of a lot of former investigations. Especially, the process by which the pressure wave is generated and the path of the pressure wave propagating inside the cavity remain unclear. In order to clarify these, the oscillatory behaviors in the supersonic flow over a rectangular cavity are visualized by the schlieren method with a high-speed camera in the present study. The inlet Mach number of the flow is 1.68. The length and depth of the cavity are 14.0mm and 11.7mm respectively; i.e., the length-to-depth ratio of the cavity is 1.20. The pressure oscillation near the trailing edge of the cavity is also measured by use of the semiconductor-type pressure transducer simultaneously with the visualization. As a result, the pressure waves propagating inside as well as outside the cavity are successfully visualized. In addition, the relationship between the shear layer displacement, pressure wave generation and pressure oscillation at the trailing edge of the cavity are clarified experimentally.

The paper deals with selected phenomena present in a blade cascade flow field. The presented research was performed on prismatic blade cascades composed mostly of the tip and root sections of the last stage rotor blade of a large output steam turbine. The unstarted supersonic flow on the cascade inlet, the separation of the flow and the swirl line behind the trailing edge have been identified as the possible sources of the unsteady force effects.

Experiments have been carried out to investigate the phenomenon of vortex shedding from the blunt trailing edge of an aerodynamic body in transonic and supersonic flow. The effect of a discharge of bleed air from a slot in the trailing edge has been included and the relationship between the vortex formation and base pressure has been considered.In transonic flow a small amount of bleed air was found to produce a rearward shift in the point of origin of the vortices with a consequent substantial increase in base pressure. The effect was less marked in supersonic flow. At higher rates of bleed two different regimes of vortex shedding were identified and increase in bleed rate caused a reduction in base pressure. For bleed rates giving near-maximum base pressure no vortex shedding occurred.

Summary:A simple expression is obtained for the lift induced upon a wing by the pressure field of the fin mounted upon the wing in supersonic flow. This expression holds for all fins with sharp edges provided that the wing trailing edge is normal to the free stream and that the Mach lines from the apex of the fin do not intersect the wing leading edge. If the fin has a blunt trailing edge the further restriction that the wing trailing edge is upstream of that of the fin is also required.Results for the induced lift and pitching moment are presented for a delta fin with variations in size and position of the fin relative to the wing trailing edge.

This paper presents the results of an investigation of the interference effects produced within the blade passages due to the support systems used to position probes downstream of the trailing edge in the interblade regions. The support systems studied consist of simple circular rods and it is shown that the presence of these probe stems can have a very large effect on the flow through the blade passage. In all cases the presence of the probe stem reduces the mass flow through the passage directly upstream of the probe with, in some cases, the flow reduction being so great as to eliminate all regions of supersonic flow on the suction surface of the blade. The paper also describes the results of preliminary tests aimed at reducing these effects; further work on this aspect of the study is continuing.

SummaryThe aerodynamics of a thin airfoil of arbitrary camber having a porous trailing edge in steady, subsonic, compressible potential flow is investigated. In the special case of a flat plate airfoil with a porous trailing edge, an exact, closed form solution is obtained using complex variable theory. The pressure loading on the airfoil, the lift and pitching moments are exhibited explicitly along with typical numerical results. The corresponding situation in supersonic flow is also considered.
