    • Design of a Closed Jet, Open Circuit Water Tunnel for the Study of Wake Mechanics 

      Toebes, G. H.; Perkins, F. E.; Eagleson, P. S. (Cambridge, Mass. : Hydrodynamics Laboratory, Dept. of Civil and Sanitary Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1958-04)
      This Technical Note describes the design of an open-circuit water tunnel with a 7-1/2 inch by 9 inch closed-jet working section. The maximum velocity obtainable in the empty test section is approximately 50 fps. The water ...

    • The Effects of Trailing Edge Geometry and Chord Length on the Early Wake of Stationary Flat Plates 

      Eagleson, P. S.; Daily, J. W.; Grace, R. A. (Cambridge, Mass. : Hydrodynamics Laboratory, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1962-04)
      This report presents the results of an investigation of the average and fluctuating two-dimensional structure of the early wake of fixed, flat plates at zero mean angle of attack as a function of trailing edge configuration ...

    • The Hydroelastic Behavior of Flat Plates as Influenced by Trailing Edge Geometry 

      Ippen, A. T.; Toebes, G. H.; Eagleson, P. S. (Cambridge, Mass. : Hydrodynamics Laboratory, Dept. of Civil and Sanitary Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1960-01)
      This report presents the results of a theoretical review and an experimental investigation of the hydroelastic vibration of thin flat plates suspended at zero mean angle of attack in a fluid stream. The review indicated ...

    • A Physiological Explanation for Vegetation Ecotones in Eastern North America 

      Arris, L. L.; Eagleson, P. S. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1989-06)
      Prediction of the vegetative cover of land surfaces as climatic conditions change is an important aspect of general circulation models that has not been adequately explored. In this study, a model is developed for the ...
