The conditions for the equilibrium of two vortexes in a two-dimensional flow through a duct or diffuser are derived. Potential-flow considerations and a few basic results from viscous-flow theory are used for the discussion of the role of cusps as separation control and trapping devices for standing vortexes. The investigations are applied to cusp diffusers especially with regard to the wind tunnel of the James Forrestal Research Center of Princeton University.

The effect of the variation of axial velocity in the incompressible flow through a cascade of aerofoils is discussed and it is shown that changes take place in the flow angles and in the blade circulation. A method is proposed by which the effect of axial velocity variation on a known two-dimensional flow or alternatively the two-dimensional equivalent of a flow with axial velocity variation can be calculated. The method is very easy to apply. The deviation may increase or decrease depending on the change in blade circulation and the stagger. An increase in apparent deflection through the cascade can be accompanied by a reduction in the blade force. The method would be particularly useful for the interpretation of cascade wind tunnel data and in the design of impeller stages where three-dimensional flows occur.

Abstract A method is presented for calculating the efficiency of a diffuser for two-dimensional, steady, incompressible flow without separation. The method involves a combination of organized boundary-layer data and frictionless potential-flow relations. The potential velocity and pressure are found after the boundary-layer growth is determined by a trial-and-check calculation.

The steady, two-dimensional flow through an arbitrarily-shaped gauze, of non-uniform properties, placed in a parallel channel is considered for the case in which viscosity can be ignored except in the immediate vicinity of the gauze. The equations are linearized by requiring departures from uniformity both in the flow and in the gauze parameters to be small. Knowledge of any three of the upstream profile, the downstream profile, the shape of the gauze and the gauze parameters, allows the other to be calculated from a linear relation between these four quantities. Particular solutions are given for the production of a uniform shear and the flow through linear and parabolic gauzes. The validity of the solution is verified by experiment. It is shown that the method can also be applied to two-dimensional flow in a diverging channel, axisymmetric flow in a circular pipe and in a circular cone and to flow through multiple gauzes.
