A wind tunnel investigation of the hydrodynamic stability of a manned underwater station in ocean currents
(Monterey, California. U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1969-10)
The hydrodynamic stability of an underwater station was studied using wind tunnel models. Rigid model force and moment coefficients were obtained for various orientations of the station in three dimensions. The unsteady ...
The extension of an adaptive aircraft control concept to helicopters.
(Monterey, California. U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1969-10)
A basic adaptive control scheme for fixed-wing aircraft was modified
for use in controlling the longitudinal motion of helicopters. The
modification required the addition of two additional feedback variables.
Control ...
The Effects of Acceleration on Burning Rates of Nonmetallized Composite Propellants.
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 1969-10)
The burning rates of five nonmetallized composite propellants
were measured in acceleration fields up to 1000g using a combustion
bomb mounted on a centrifuge. Two propellants were burned at 1000
psia and all five were ...
Nonsimilar solution of the laminar boundary layer in an oscillatory flow by an integral matrix method
(Monterey, California. U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1969-06)
The development of a numerical procedure for the treatment of nonsimilar, unsteady, laminar boundary layers is presented. The solution is obtained from the laminar, isothermal, incompressible boundary layer equations ...
An investigation of the effect of a tangential gas velocity on combustion instability.
(Monterey, California. U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1969-06)
A small, uncooled research rocket motor was built to study the
effects of a vortex flow on combustion instability. Normal heptane
and air were used as propellants with the air being divided into two
flows; a primary ...
The effect of varying secondary Mach number and injection angle on secondary gaseous injection into a supersonic flow.
(Monterey, California. U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1969-06)
This study was undertaken to investigate the effects
of varying both the secondary Mach number and angle of
inclination relative to the primary stream on the flow
field generated by the interaction of a secondary jet ...
An experimental investigation of the sensitization of aliphatic hydrocarbon fuels.
(Monterey, California. U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1969-06)
Jet aircraft fuels are relatively stable and safe to handle.
Therefore they are not readily adaptable to weapons applications.
A study of the sensitization of the jet fuel with solid
additives was carried out. Comparisons ...
The instrumentation of the S-2 aircraft for stability and control flight testing
(Monterey, California. U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1969-04)
A Navy US-2A aircraft was instrumented for use in stability and control flight testing. Various methods of recording and sensing the aerodynamic parameters necessary to evaluate stability and control flight testing were ...
