Locally nonsimilar solutions for radiating shock layer about smooth axisymmetric bodies

Locally nonsimilar solutions for nongray radiating shock layers about smooth axisymmetric bodies have been obtained based on a newly developed approximate method. Good agreement is found with numerical solutions for inviscid cases (both radiating and nonradiating) and with series solutions for the radiating viscous case. For the inviscid case, the effect of radiative cooling is to destroy the entropy layer; at a distance far from the stagnation point, the shock layer is nearly isothermal. For the viscous case, the radiative wall flux approaches that of the inviscid case at a distance far downstream of the stagnation point. The method can also treat surface mass injection.

Prediction of local and integrated heat transfer in nozzles using an integral turbulent boundary layer method

An empirical modification of an existing integral energy turbulent boundary layer method is proposed in order to improve the estimates of local heat transfer in converging-diverging nozzles and consequently, provide better assessments of the total or integrated heat transfer. The method involves the use of a modified momentum-heat analogy which includes an acceleration term comprising the nozzle geometry and free stream velocity. The original and modified theories are applied to heat transfer data from previous studies which used heated air in 30 deg - 15 deg, 45 deg - 15 deg, and 60 deg - 15 deg water-cooled nozzles.

Radar monitoring of agricultural land use - Some problems and potentials at the local level.

A study was made of some of the changing land use practices in a small area of the American Winter Wheat Belt as they might relate to remote sensing. In addition, interviews were conducted with farmers and local country agents in order to determine some of the needs regarding land use and farming practices as perceived by these people. A list of elements of land use is given which provides potential variables and parameters to be considered in interpreting radar imagery. The results of interviews provide a better concept of what potential remote sensing users at the primary level need and want.

Prediction of flow profiles in arteries from local measurements.

This paper develops an approximate numerical method for calculating flow profiles in arteries. The theory takes into account the nonlinear terms of the Navier-Stokes equations as well as the large deformations of the arterial wall. The method, assuming axially symmetric flow, determines velocity distribution and wall shear at a given location from the locally measured values of the pressure, pressure gradient, and pressure-radius relation. The computed results agree well with the corresponding experimental data.
