Dynamic flow angle measurements at the diffuser exit of a Mach 2.5 mixed compression inlet

An exploratory investigation was made to determine the magnitude of the dynamic flow angle at a single point in the diffuser exit of a Mach 2.50 inlet. Results indicate that the maximum flow angle variation was + or - 3 degrees except when vortex generators were installed in the subsonic diffuser. The amplitude of these flow angle fluctuations was directly related to the amplitude of the total pressure fluctuations at the probe survey point. Flow angle fluctuations as high as + or - 11 degrees were recorded when vortex generators were installed near the probe survey point.

The effect of nozzle inlet shape, lip thickness, and exit shape and size on subsonic jet noise

Far field noise data were taken for convergent nozzles of various shapes and sizes at subsonic velocities exceeding 400 feet per second. For a circular nozzle, the nozzle inlet shape and lip thickness had no effect on the noise level, directivity, or spectra when compared at the same nozzle exit diameter and peak exhaust velocity. A sharp edged orifice was one exception to this statement. Coannular nozzles can produce additional high frequency noise. Blunt ended centerbodies, where there is significant base drag, also generate significant additional noise. The total noise power generation was essentially the same for circular, slot, and plug nozzles of good aerodynamic shape. The noise radiation patterns were essentially the same for these nozzle shapes except near the nozzle exhaust axis.

Special report, exit slit mirrors for the Ebert spectrometer

The use of a very long straight entrance slit in an Ebert grating spectrometer with two plane mirrors at the shorter exit slit to increase the energy density is described. This system has been employed in a far ultraviolet rocket spectrometer to provide higher sensitivity than has been achieved previously. The imaging properties and required slit and mirror adjustments are presented. Experimental results are included.
