Summary

A general solution is obtained by using potential flow theory for the design of two-dimensional suction slots for parallel channels. These slots are formed by free streamlines and are so arranged that the channel walls are free from adverse pressure gradient. Where suction slots are intended for the control of boundary layers, the present solution can only be used as a basis for experiment. It is interesting to note that the results also suggest a new method for the design of diffusers by suction.
