Integral Procedure

A fundamental improvement of any one-parameter integral procedure for compressible laminar boundary-layer analysis is described. It is shown, by means of comparisons with exact solutions covering cases of favorable, zero, and adverse pressure gradients, and of constant and variable surface temperatures with and without heat transfer, that in all cases very significant improvements in the calculated results are attained, and also that this improvement is accomplished simply by evaluating integrals.

An experimental investigation of the rate of heat transfer to the insulator wall of a quasi-steady magnetogasdynamic accelerator is described. The experiments were conducted in an accelerator section attached to the end of a shock tube using argon as the test gas. The measurements are compared with a Hartmann boundary-layer analysis, which correlates the data within the experimental scatter. Based on this theory, estimates of the current shorting through the boundary layer and energy fluxes to the wall are made and compared with the accelerator’s overall performance.
