Laminar Compressible Mixing Behind Finite Bases.

ResearchPublished 1963
Because of the recent interest in the fluid-mechanic description of hypersonic wakes, laminar mixing problems are again being investigated both experimentally and theoretically. This paper shows that the velocity along the dividing streamline can be determined in a simple manner by approximating the integral solution contained in NACA Report 958, "Laminar Mixing of a Compressible Fluid," by D. R. Chapman. The effect of finite base radius (or Reynolds number) is also investigated using this approximate solution. 7 pp.

The paper series was a product of RAND from 1948 to 2003 that captured speeches, memorials, and derivative research, usually prepared on authors' own time and meant to be the scholarly or scientific contribution of individual authors to their professional fields. Papers were less formal than reports and did not require rigorous peer review.
