Dan, If you don't mind run one of these configurations for us.
It will give us an idea of how well the CFD correlates with
the work done by K&M, Kays & London and Hoerner.

Paul,
Here is a model I ran for correlation.  The inlet coordinates are directly
from table 12-1.  I eyeballed the exit geometry as close as I could to
figure 12-17.

cfd_corr_1_1.gif - wall pressure of inlet.  Values directly from model.
cfd_corr_1_2.gif - wall pressure of inlet.  Values from model offset to
match figure 12-11.

Reynolds number was 8E5.  Model velocity and pressure are non-dimenional as
usual.  Ai/Ar = 0.40

Dan- 

Very very interesting Dan. Thanks. Seems to correlate well with what K&M did
years before CFD was available. That Me109 configuration would also
be interesting. The one with the bullet in the exhaust duct.
