Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics: RADx (Tech + ATP)

This virtual symposium was held to highlight the impact the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Virtual Biotechnology Laboratory (NVBL) has had utilizing the unique capabilities of the DOE to tackle the science and technology challenges associated with COVID-19, and to discuss areas in which the NVBL can have impact in the future. With perspectives from Chris Fall, Director, Office of Science, DOE, and William A. Bookless, Principal Deputy Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration, the event featured Presentations from lead investigators reporting progress in: Epidemiological modeling, Therapeutics, Testing, Understanding transport of the virus, and Solving issues around supply chain challenges. In addition, keynote speakers from outside the NVBL discussed the upcoming science and technology needs in computing, testing and surveillance, and vaccines. The event was aimed at the S&T community, media, and general public.

Results of investigations on a 0.0405 scale model ATP version of the NR-SSV orbiter in the North American Aeronautical Laboratory low speed wind tunnel

Experimental aerodynamic investigations were conducted on a scale model space shuttle vehicle (SSV) orbiter. The purpose of the test was to investigate the longitudinal and lateral-directional aerodynamic characteristics. Emphasis was placed on model component, wing-glove, and wing-body fairing effects, as well as elevon, aileron, and rudder control effectiveness. Angles of attack from - 5 deg to + 30 deg and angles of sideslip from - 5 deg to + 10 deg were tested. Static pressures were recorded on base, fuselage, and wing surfaces. Tufts and talc-kerosene flow visualization techniques were also utilized. The aerodynamic force balance results are presented in plotted and tabular form.

Supersonic aerodynamic characteristics of the North American Rockwell ATP shuttle orbiter

A wind tunnel study to determine the supersonic aerodynamic characteristics of a 0.01925-scale model of the space shuttle orbiter configuration is reported. The model consisted of a low-finess-ratio body with a blended 50 swept delta wing forming an ogee planform and a center-line-mounted vertical tail. Tests were made at Mach numbers from 1.90 to 4.63, at angles of attack from -6 to 30, at angles of sideslip of 0 and 3, and at a Reynolds number, based on body length, of 5.3x 1 million.

Application of stiffened cylinder analysis to ATP interior noise studies

An analytical model developed to predict the interior noise of propeller driven aircraft was applied to experimental configurations for a Fairchild Swearingen Metro II fuselage exposed to simulated propeller excitation. The floor structure of the test fuselage was of unusual construction - mounted on air springs. As a consequence, the analytical model was extended to include a floor treatment transmission coefficient which could be used to describe vibration attenuation through the mounts. Good agreement was obtained between measured and predicted noise reductions when the foor treatment transmission loss was about 20 dB - a value which is consistent with the vibration attenuation provided by the mounts. The analytical model was also adapted to allow the prediction of noise reductions associated with boundary layer excitation as well as propeller and reverberant noise.
