(2013-11-08)This work describes and compares processes for swept-wing laminar flow control (SWLFC) aerody-namic design. It focuses on results obtained during the preliminary outer-mold-line (OML) design of the Subsonic Aircraft ...
-
(2012-07-16)The aerodynamic benefits of laminar flow have long made it a sought-after attribute in aircraft design. By laminarizing portions of an aircraft, such as the wing or empennage, significant reductions in drag could be ...
-
(2012-08-28)The laminar-to-turbulent transition process in swept-wing boundary layers is often dominated by an inflectional instability arising from crossflow. It is now known that freestream turbulence and surface roughness are two ...

(2022-12-01)Transport aircraft consume significant fuel and produce commensurate pollution. In-creasing the extent of laminar flow over wings is one strategy to reduce skin friction drag and thus decrease fuel consumption. The boundary ...

(2022-08-03)Laminar-to-turbulent transition of boundary layers remains a critical subject of study in aerodynamics. The differences in surface friction and heating between laminar and turbulent flows can be nearly an order of magnitude. ...
