In order to aid in the research concerning the problem of obtaining uniform flow in ducts, an investigation of resistance was conducted for the purposes of (1) providing systematic data for the Mach number range from 0.20 to 0.65 on the flow smoothing effect of screens for various types of flow nonuniformities together with the consequent cost of total-pressure losses required to accomplish various degrees of flow smoothing, and (3) summarizing the data in the literature on screen total-pressure losses in a convenient form suitable for engineering studies. The experimental data were obtained in a directly connected rectangular duct in which the nonuniform flow distributions were produced by spoilers located upstream from the screens.
