Pressure Distribution on Joukowski Wings and Graphic Construction of Joukowski Wings

In the first article, in connection with a lecture on the hydrodynamic basis of flight and the potential flow about a Joukowski wing, the pressure distribution on several wings is computed and plotted. The diagrams of the pressure distributions are presented accompanied with a qualitative discussion of the pressure distribution. In the second article, the the cross-sectional outline (or profile) a Joukowski wing are plotted

Schwarzschild and Synge once again

We complete the historical overview about the geometry of a Schwarzschild black hole at its horizon by emphasizing the contribution made by J. L. Synge in 1950 to its clarification.Comment: 2 pages, LaTeX, submitted for publication; 2 references, one Note, and an Acknowledgement are adde

The family of regular interiors for non-rotating black holes with T00=T11T^0_0 = T^1_1

We find the general solution for the spacetimes describing the interior of static black holes with an equation of state of the type $T^0_0 = T^1_1$ ($T$ being the stress-energy tensor). This form is the one expected from taking into account different quantum effects associated with strong gravitational fields. We recover all the particular examples found in the literature. We remark that all the solutions found follow the natural scheme of an interior core linked smoothly with the exterior solution by a transient region. We also discuss their local energy properties and give the main ideas involved in a possible generalization of the scheme, in order to include other realistic types of sources.Comment: 31 pages, 1 figure, version to appear in Physical Review
