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 ...
Guidance and control of tactical missiles
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1979-12)
This thesis discusses the conversion of the MOD6DF computer program for use on the IBM-360 computer at the Naval Postgraduate School. The functioning program was modified to investigate the impact miss distance for the ...
Estimation of sonobuoy position relative to an aircraft using extended kalman filters.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1979-09)
In airborne anti-submarine warfare there is a need to
more accurately determine the positions of sonobuoys on the
surface of the vater. This report develops two algorithms
which employ extended Kalman filters to determine ...
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 ...
Development of a device for the incorporation of multiple scanivalves into a computer-controlled data system.
(1979-03)
A controller (designated HG-78K) was built to permit manual
and computer-directed acquisition of pneumatic data from multiple
Scanivalves. The controller incorporated a low cost digital
electronic circuit which, was ...
Investigation of pipe flow instability and results for wave number zero
(1978-12)
Past research by Harrison and Johnston on the stability
of pipe flow yielded only tenuous results owing to errors in
setup of the problem and in formulation of the complex axis
boundary conditions.
Recent advances in ...
XR-3 bow seal performance as a function of seal geometry
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1978-12)
A series of tests was conducted to determine the effects of bow seal shape upon the performance of the XR-3 captured air bubble testcraft. The lift and drag forces experienced by the bow seal, plotted versus velocity, are ...
The application of a laser Doppler velocimetry system to flow velocity measurements in a transonic compressor.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1978-12)
A laser doppler velocimeter (LDV) system was developed and
utilized to measure the flow velocities in the axial and tangential
directions behind the rotors of a single stage transonic
compressor. The backscatter mode ...
High speed data acquisition system.
(Monterey, California: U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1978-09)
This paper describes the expansion and modification of an existing data acquisition system to effect extensive improvements in speed and flexibility. A microprocessor, flexible disk drive, analog to digital converter, ...
The development and implementation of algorithms for an A-7E performance calculator.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1978-09)
In this thesis, the algorithms for an A-7E aircraft performance
calculator were developed and then implemented on three
small data processors of different programming levels and storage
capabilities
.
