Looking for ESDU 70015 - flat plate drag

RobR_CFD · August 10, 2020, 02:20

Most Learned CFD Colleagues,
I have struck a problem and was hoping someone out there may be able to help.

I am doing some research and have numerous references to ESDU 70015 for flat plate drag. I have checked it out and IHS want several hundred dollars to buy a copy, and I cannot find a library to borrow it from.
Not to whinge being poor student, but I am reluctant to purchase a copy sight unseen - if it proves a worthwhile document, I'll go and buy it.
In the meantime - and not to break any copyright laws - I was wondering if someone could furnish me with an extract so I can see what the content looks like to make an informed decision.
Thanks and keep safe - remember staying indoors and simulating will help stop COVID19

Cheers
RobR

Hi RobR,

I can't help you with this document. But a brief search let me to this paper: https://www.researchgate.net/publica...Turbine_Blades

have a look at page 2440. Maybe this information/reference leads to an alternative data source which may suffice your needs.

Best,
Sebastian

Thanks Sebastian.
That reference has details of the source data - very helpful, and may mean I can avoid paying IHS their extortion money!
You have a great day and take care.
