Model development of supersonic trough wind with shocks

The time dependent one dimensional hydrodynamic equations describe the evolution of the thermal plasma flow along closed magnetic field lines outside of the plasmasphere. The convection of the supersonic polar wind onto a closed fieldline results in the assumed formation of collisionless plasma shocks. These shocks move earthward as the field line with its frozen-in plasma remains fixed or contracts with time to smaller L coordinates. The high equatorial plasma temperature (of the order of electron volts) produced by the shock process decreases with time if the flow is isothermal but it will increase if the contraction is under adiabatic conditions. Assuming adiabaticity a peak in the temperature forms at the equator in conjunction with a depression in the ion density. After an initial contraction, if the flux tube drifts to higher L coordinates the direction of the shock motion can be reversed so that the supersonic region will expand along the field line towards the state characterizing the supersonic polar wind. A rapid expansion will lower the equatorial density while the temperature decreases with time under adiabatic but not isothermal conditions.

Hypersonic research engine project. Phase 2: Aerothermodynamic integration model development

The analytical effort was directed towards (1) completing the design of the combustor exit instrumentation assembly, (2) analyzing the coolant flow distribution of the cowl leading edge tip section, (3) determining effects of purge gas pressure on AIM performance analysis, and (4) analyzing heat transfer and associated stress problems related to the cowl leading edge tip section and the nozzle shroud assembly for test conditions.

Hypersonic research engine project. Phase 2: Aerothermodynamic integration model development

The analytical effort was directed toward (1) analyzing the latest inputs of possible test conditions and their impact on hardware; (2) review structural capabilities of the AIM unit; (3) analyzing coolant flow paths, heat transfer, and associated problems relative to the cowl leading edge tip section; and (4) redefining requirements of flow-calibrating the air-metering duct.

Model development of supersonic trough wind with shocks.

The time-dependent one dimensional hydrodynamic equations describe the evolution of the thermal plasma flow along closed magnetic field lines outside of the plasmasphere. The convection of the supersonic polar wind onto a closed field line results in the assumed formation of collisionless plasma shocks. These shocks move earthward as the field line with its 'frozen-in' plasma remains fixed or contracts with time to smaller L coordinates. The high equatorial plasma temperature (of the order of electron volts) produced by the shock process decreases with time if the flow is isothermal, but it will increase if the contraction is under adiabatic conditions. Assuming adiabaticity a peak in the temperature forms at the equator in conjunction with a depression in the ion density. After an initial contraction, if the flux tube drifts to higher L coordinates, the direction of the shock motion can be reversed so that the supersonic region will expand along the field line toward the state characterizing the supersonic polar wind.

Model development and statistical investigation of turbine blade mistuning

This paper discusses the development of an efficient algorithm which calculates the individual blade response of a bladed turbine disk, the subsequent statistical investigation to establish mistuning dependencies, and procedures which reduce the increase in blade amplitudes caused by mistuning.
