Urban Parameters LA County 100m

132 Urban parameters based on building physical dimensions and location were generated for the city of Los Angeles at 100m resolution using the NATURF model. Files are in binary format for WRF readability and in CSV for use in other models. Documentation for the NATURF model can be found at: https://github.com/IMMM-SFA/naturf/ . To use the binary file with WRF, the binary file and the index file must be placed in their own directory in WRF_GEOG and accessed in the same way NUDAPT44 would be accessed.

Hybrid rocket propulsion <la propulsion par fusees hybrides<

The aim of the first part of this article is to demonstrate the potentialities of hybrids in the space program. These potentialities are applicable to all three main classes of chemical rockets currently in use, namely: (1) storable -propellant rockets, (2) cryogenic-propellant rockets, and (3) semistorable-propellant rockets, where the non-storable element is introduced at the time of firing. On the basis of these three categories, the properties of hybrid systems are discussed in relation to the specific impulse. The hybrid method of propulsion is compared with standard solid- and liquid-propellant propulsion systems. The second part of the article is concerned with the fundamental problems of combustion, the emphasis being placed on the rate of regression of the solid phase, which determines the performance of the system. Different theories of the regression rate are described and compared with various experimental results.
