    Wind tunnel tests of wings at Reynolds numbers below 70 000

     Rectangular planform wings were tested at Reynolds numbers as low as 20 000 in a low turbulence wind tunnel. The lift and drag measurements on a NACA 0012 profile were compared with those for thin flat and ca...

    Note on the lifting of liquids by withdrawal

    The results of previous studies on the problem of estimating the thickness and the flux of liquid being dragged out of a reservoir by a moving plate are summarized. An asymptotic solution is derived for the li...

    Local supersonic region on a body moving at subsonic speeds

    A simple graphical proof is presented which gives a clear physical explanation of why a local supersonic region enclosed by a sonic line and a convex profile must always have an inflection point on any charact...
