Some experiments on the slipstream effect

The models designated "Torino 30, 31, 32" are horizontal tail surfaces of rectangular, triangular, and elliptical plan form and all of the same profile section. Tests were carried out with the object being to determine the effect of the propeller slipstream on the aerodynamical characteristics of the horizontal stabilizer. The results presented correspond to a first series of tests made without an interposed wing and in which the distance between the plane of the propeller disk and the tail was maintained constant.

The transport of vorticity through fluids in turbulent motion : in the light of the Prandtl and Taylor theories

The report studies the problem of the transport of vorticity or of momentum in light of the Taylor and Prandtl theories which are briefly reviewed. It also show how the formulas of Prandtl could be brought into agreement with experimental results in those cases where they agree with the principle of statistic similitude of Karman, and particularly in the problem of the distribution of velocity and temperature in the wake of a heated cylindrical obstacle.
