Extract

The supersonic and subsonic jets are both considered by the method used by Miles for an oscillating aerofoil between wind tunnel walls.

The present problem and that of Miles are special cases of the flow past an oscillating aerofoil between porous walls, and provide a useful check for results in the porous wall problem. It may be assumed that the ratio of the change in pressure across a porous wall to the normal velocity at the wall defines a quantity called the porosity parameter, which is a constant at any particular point on the wall. For the special cases of the porosity parameter being everywhere infinite and zero, the porous wall corresponds to the solid wall and the free jet boundary respectively.
