Analysis of conditional sampling averages for turbulent flows shows how conditional averages can be related to conventional averages incorporated into existing flow models. Technique allows vast quantities of data generated by conditional sampling to be analyzed in coherent way.
General guidelines are given for the design of diffusers, contractions, corners, and the inlets and exits of non-return tunnels. A system of equations, reflecting the current technology, has been compiled and assembled into a computer program (a user's manual for this program is included) for determining the total pressure losses. The formulation presented is applicable to compressible flow through most closed- or open-throat, single-, double-, or non-return wind tunnels. A comparison of estimated performance with that actually achieved by several existing facilities produced generally good agreement.
