    • Boundary layer effects on airfoil lift 

      Schneider, Kurt H. (Kurt Herbert) (Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1958], 1958)
      A study of the discrepancy in lift between potential flow calculations and experiments was made. In potential flow the fluid is assumed to follow the contour of the airfoil, forming a stagnation point at the geometric ...

    • Comparative study of tip clearance effects in compressors and turbines 

      Yokoyama, Eiji (Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1961], 1961)
      The influence of tip clearance on the lift distribution along a blade span was studied on linear compressor and turbine cascades. The wall boundary layer was removed by means of the image technique. The lift distribution ...

    • Lifting-line theory for subsonic axial compressor rotors 

      McCune, James E. (James Elliot); Dharwadkar, Shashikant Prabhakar (Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory , Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1972], 1972)
      The three-dimensional compressible vortex theory of an axial compressor rotor or ducted fan is extended by relating blade loading to blade geometry in the lifting-line approximation. The resulting integral equation, which ...

    • Thin airfoils in rotational flow 

      Kotansky, Donald Richard (Cambridge, Mass : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1965], 1965)
      The problem of rotational or shear flow about thin airfoils has been investigated theoretically and experimentally. The theoretical approach is based on the concept of a lifting line in a bounded shear flow whose primary ...
