Validation of an ambient air quality model for naval air operations
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 1979-12)
An initial validation of an Air Quality Assessment Model for Naval air operations was conducted at NAS Miramar, CA. A previously developed model was updated to appropriately represent 1978/79 operations and then evaluated ...
Effects of fuel additives on plume opacity of a sub-scale turbojet test cell with a ramjet type dump-combustor
(Naval Postgraduate School, 1979-12)
An initial investigation was conducted into the effects of metallic based fuel additives on smoke reduction in turbo-jet test cells. Experiments were conducted on a one-eighth scale turbojet test cell with a ramjet type ...
Measurements of jet dispersions simulated in an aeronautical wind tunnel
(Monterey, California: U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1979-09)
A neutrally stable atmospheric surface layer was suitably simulated in a low speed wind tunnel by tripping the boundary layer with a fence and letting the turbulent flow develop over a length of roughness elements. Jet ...
Computer studies of aircraft fuel tank response to ballistic penetrators.
(1978)
A major goal of the hydraulic ram survivability program
for aircraft fuel tanks is the development of an economical
computer code which accurately predicts the pressure in the
fluid, the response of the tank walls, and ...
EA-6B Mission Planning Program
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1977-06)
The EA-6B mission Planning Program is designed for use by aircrewmen deployed on board aircraft carriers. it is an interactive computer program for automated sorting, retrieval, display and plotting of information. All ...
An investigation of the recovery processes in 7075-T651 aluminum responsible for a stress decay during dynamic loading histories
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1977-03)
This thesis investigates stress relaxation, strain softening, strain hardening and anelastic behavior as potential recovery processes in 7075-T651 alloy. A series of tests were conducted utilizing uniaxial specimens of ...
A stability analysis of the proposed circulation control rotor (CCR) prototype
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1977-03)
The rotor system of the proposed XH-2/CCR (Circulation Control Rotor) prototype aircraft and the state variable format of the airframe equations of motion are described. Through a study of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors ...
Time dependent holographic interferometry and finite-element analysis of heat transfer within a rectangular enclosure
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1976-09)
In this thesis, the finite-element method was developed to numerically analyze heat transfer by laminar natural convection within a rectangular cavity, a classical fluid flow problem. A second auxiliary case study involving ...
Development of a temperature-pneumatic probe and application at the rotor exit in a transonic compressor
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1976-06)
The development is reported of a new combination temperature-pneumatic probe specifically to determine the blade element performance of the rotor in a transonic compressor. The design incorporates a fine wire thermocouple ...
Transonic thermal blooming
(Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California, 1976-03)
According to the linearized solutions for thermal blooming, the density perturbations become infinite (i.e. "catastrophic" defocusing) as the Mach number approaches unity. However, the nonlinearities in the transonic ...
