A view of the appro-te cross section of some typical roughledges appears in figure 2.The smooth ledges were made of balsa-wood strips of triangular crosssectio

At sta-tions 1, 2, and 3 (thediffuser inlet, diffuser exit, and tailpipe exit,respectively),wall-static-pressuremeasurements were made at six equallyspaced circumferentialpositions. All static-pressureorifices were con-nected to a multittie mancmeter and pr

Total- and static-pressurestream surveyswere made at stations 2and 1, in that order, for all the ledge configurationsby using threeeqyally spaced, resnotelycontrolled, electrically driven pressure probes.A sketch of a pressure probe is included in figure 1.Th

18、ion and lacked axial symmetry, the flow in thediffuser with one or more ledges installed was steady and, in general, hadapproximately symmetrical velocity profiles at the diffuser exit for mostconfigurations. Because the flow was so unstable in the diffuser withoutthe inlet roughness strip, ledge a,

19、 accurate total-pressuremeasurementscould not be made at the diffuser exit./Therefore, in order to providevalues of W for comparison purposes, total-pressure surveys were1made at station 3 where the flow was steady. In subsequent sections,. comparisons are made between the values of / measured at st

At the diffuser exit, as the nmberof ledges installed was increased, the diffuser effectiveness decreasedprogressively until, with seven l

21、edges installed, a decrease in the effec-tiveness of about 7 percent was obtained. At the tailpipe exit the effectof the ledges was also detrimental, but on the order of a maximum of 2 per-cent. The net effect on the diffuser effectiveness of the ledge instal-lations indicates, therefore, that the l
