ON THE DEFLEXION OF JETS BY AEROFOILS

L. C. Woods · The Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics · 1958

A two dimensional jet of incompressible, inviscid fluid is deflected by an aerofoil immersed in it. The relation between the aerofoil incidence and jet deflexion angle, the extent to which the aerofoil displaces the jet from the position it would occupy in the aerofoil's absence, and the ratio of the fluid flowing above the aerofoil to that flowing below are calculated in this paper. Other results, such as the velocity distribution over the aerofoil and the shape of the free surface of the jet, are also given.
