Wind tunnel sting support interference effects on dynamic stability derivatives, static pitching moment and base pressure of a blunt, 7-deg cone were investigated at subsonic and transonic Mach numbers. The cone was tested with sting configurations having a variable effective sting length ranging from 1 to 3.3 model base diameters, at angles of attack ranging from 0 to 30 deg. A forced-oscillation system was utilized to obtain data at a frequency of oscillation of approximately 5.3 Hz, and at an amplitude of 1 deg. The Reynolds number, based on model base diameter, was nominally 1.8 million, which produced a turbulent boundary layer over the aft portion of the model. The nature of the causes of these interference effects is discussed and analyzed with respect to sting length, type of measurement, and Mach number, with emphasis on defining critical sting length and on predicting minimal interference sting configurations for dynamic stability testing. The results showed that the critical sting length depended on the type of measurement used as the interference indicator, Mach number, and angle of attack. A critical sting length of three model diameters was determined to be suitable for all test conditions for the ratio of sting diameter-to-model base diameter (0.22) investigated. (Author).

Wind tunnel tests were conducted to provide sting-support interference information for planning and directing wind tunnel tests at subsonic and transonic Mach numbers. Sting-length effects on dynamic stability derivatives, static pitching moment, and base pressure of a blunt, flat-base 7- deg cone were investigated at Mach numbers 0.2 to 1.3 in the Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC) Propulsion Wind Tunnel Facility (PWT). Two frequencies of oscillation, nominally 5.3 and 2.9 Hz, were investigated. The boundary-layer state at the model base was turbulent for all Mach numbers greater than 0.2. The interference effects of two types of model-wake splitter plates were also investigated. The results showed that the critical sting length depended on the Mach number, angle of attack, and type of data used as the interference indicator. A critical sting length of three model diameters was determined to be suitable for all test conditions for the ratio of sting-diameter-to-model-base- diameter (0.22) for this test.

Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing. house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 25 (thesis year 1980) a total of 10,308 theses titles from 27 Canadian and 214 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 25 reports theses submitted in 1980, on occasion, certain universities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
