Extract

The possibility of control of circulation around aircraft wings and gas turbine blades by ejection of air from the aerofoil into the main stream has drawn attention to the manifold problem. Discharge velocity distributions along the length of the wing or blade must be uniform, and it is important that the detailed nature of the flow in the supply manifolds should be understood. The distributions of velocity in manifolds supplying multicylinder internal combustion engines, in gas burners and in manifolds supplying canal locks are other allied problems.
