Extract

The deterioration in the performance of NACA submerged intakes in the presence of a boundary layer has been established in Ref. 12, where a correlation of experimental data, obtained from wind tunnel tests on models, is presented. The purpose of this paper is to provide a prediction method which will allow the efficiency of these intakes to be estimated outside the range for which experimental data exist.
