Abstract

An experimental study of distributed air-injection from a porous section of a flat plate into a uniform incompressible airflow is described. The relative mass flow rates of the injection varied between 0·008 and 0·053 (strong injection) and the blowing was fairly uniformly distributed. In the resulting flow field, which was predominantly laminar except near the dividing streamline, where unsteadiness prevailed, velocity profile and pressure measurements were taken and the position of the dividing streamline thereby estimated. Overall the results agree fairly well with the steady laminar theory for strong normal blowing, outlined in §2, although for the strongest blow some signs of separation some way upstream of the blow are apparent.
