NASA Glenn Steady-State Heat Pipe Code GLENHP: Compilation for 64- and 32-Bit Windows Platforms

A new version of the NASA Glenn Steady State Heat Pipe Code, designated "GLENHP," is introduced here. This represents an update to the disk operating system (DOS) version LERCHP reported in NASA/TM-2000-209807. The new code operates on 32- and 64-bit Windows-based platforms from within the 32-bit command prompt window. An additional evaporator boundary condition and other features are provided.

Introduction of the ASGARD Code

ASGARD stands for 'Automated Selection and Grouping of events in AIA Regional Data'. The code is a refinement of the event detection method in Ugarte-Urra & Warren (2014). It is intended to automatically detect and group brightenings ('events') in the AIA EUV channels, to record event parameters, and to find related events over multiple channels. Ultimately, the goal is to automatically determine heating and cooling timescales in the corona and to significantly increase statistics in this respect. The code is written in IDL and requires the SolarSoft library. It is parallelized and can run with multiple CPUs. Input files are regions of interest (ROIs) in time series of AIA images from the JSOC cutout service (http://jsoc.stanford.edu/ajax/exportdata.html). The ROIs need to be tracked, co-registered, and limited in time (typically 12 hours).

Rotorcraft Optimization Tools: Incorporating Rotorcraft Design Codes into Multi-Disciplinary Design, Analysis, and Optimization

One of the goals of NASA's Revolutionary Vertical Lift Technology Project (RVLT) is to provide validated tools for multidisciplinary design, analysis and optimization (MDAO) of vertical lift vehicles. As part of this effort, the software package, RotorCraft Optimization Tools (RCOTOOLS), is being developed to facilitate incorporating key rotorcraft conceptual design codes into optimizations using the OpenMDAO multi-disciplinary optimization framework written in Python. RCOTOOLS, also written in Python, currently supports the incorporation of the NASA Design and Analysis of RotorCraft (NDARC) vehicle sizing tool and the Comprehensive Analytical Model of Rotorcraft Aerodynamics and Dynamics II (CAMRAD II) analysis tool into OpenMDAO-driven optimizations. Both of these tools use detailed, file-based inputs and outputs, so RCOTOOLS provides software wrappers to update input files with new design variable values, execute these codes and then extract specific response variable values from the file outputs. These wrappers are designed to be flexible and easy to use. RCOTOOLS also provides several utilities to aid in optimization model development, including Graphical User Interface (GUI) tools for browsing input and output files in order to identify text strings that are used to identify specific variables as optimization input and response variables. This paper provides an overview of RCOTOOLS and its use

Beyond Guesswork: Code Verification for Acoustic Duct Mode Prediction

The code used in the work (Swirl) is a frequency-domain linearized Euler equation solver that is designed to predict the effect of acoustic liners on acoustic modes propagating in realistic sheared and swirling mean flows, guiding the design of more efficient liner configurations. The purpose of this study is to validate Swirl using the Method Of Manufactured Solutions (MMS). This study also investigated the effect of the integration and spatial differencing methods on the convergence for a given Manufactured Solution. In addition, the effect of boundary condition implementation was tested. Through rigorous validation of the Swirl code using the MMS, this research underscores the significance of integration and spatial differencing methods on convergence, evaluates boundary condition implementations, and systematically assesses the impact of various filters.

Constrained coding for the deep-space optical channel

We investigate methods of coding for a channel subject to a large dead-time constraint, i.e. a constraint on the minimum spacing between transmitted pulses, with the deep-space optical channel as the motivating example.

Digital system detects binary code patterns containing errors

System of square loop magnetic cores associated with code input registers to react to input code patterns by reference to a group of control cores in such a manner that errors are canceled and patterns containing errors are accepted for amplification and processing. This technique improves reception capabilities in PCM telemetry systems.

Block encoders for Reed-Muller codes

Encoding algorithms generate a 32 x 64-bit matrix Reed-Muller code from a 6-bit orthogonal code-word. This increases error-free reception by a high rate telemetry channel under adverse signal noise with minimal use of additional hardware.

Ranging code processor

System extracts range data from pseudorandom-coded range radar used to track a moving body. Pseudorandom binary waveforms with favorable correlation properties are transmitted and their reflections received and processed. The phase difference between the received and transmitted codes gives an accurate measure of the distance to the moving body.
