    Description: The large performance gains predicted for the Natural Laminar Flow (NLF)(1)-0414F airfoil were demonstrated in two-dimensional airfoil tests and in wind tunnel tests conducted with a full scale modified Cessna 210. The performance gains result from maintaining extensive areas of natural laminar flow, and were verified by flight tests conducted with the modified Cessna. The lift, stability, and control characteristics of the Cessna were found to be essentially unchanged when boundary layer transition was fixed near the wing leading edge. These characteristics are very desirable from a safety and certification view where premature boundary layer transition (due to insect contamination, etc.) must be considered. The leading edge modifications were found to enhance the roll damping of the Cessna at the stall, and were therefore considered effective in improving the stall/departure resistance. Also, the modifications were found to be responsible for only minor performance penalties.

    Description: A new model for scaling the outcome of catastrophic collisions from laboratory scale experiments was developed and applied to large bodies where gravitational binding is dominant. This algorithm includes a pressure dependent impact strength which predicts that large asteroids behave as intrinsically strong objects due to compressive loading of overburden throughout their interiors. For small bodies, where the gravitational loading is negligible, this model assumes that the impact strength is independent of size. There was considerable discussion of scaling laws for disruption when these results were presented to one authors colleagues. The pressure strengthening impact strength model was viewed as physically quite plausible; however, it was argued that the impact strength should decrease with increasing size in the size range where gravitational compression is negligible.

    Description: Research on a variety of dynamical processes relevant to the formation of planets, satellites and ring systems is discussed. The main focus is on studies of accretionary formation of early protoplanets using a numerical model, structures and evolution of ring systems and individual bodies within planetary rings, and theories of lunar origin.

    Description: A wind tunnel investigation has been conducted to evaluate the aerodynamic performance, stability, and control characteristics of a full-scale general aviation aircraft equipped with an advanced natural laminar flow wing. Force and moment data were measured over wide angle-of-attack and sideslip ranges and at Reynolds numbers from 1.4 million to 2.4 million based on the mean aerodynamic chord. Additional measurements determined the condition of the wing boundary layer and the wing stalling characteristics. The results showed that large regions of natural laminar flow existed on the wing which would significantly enhance the cruise performance of the configuration. Artificially tripping the boundary layer did not significantly affect the lift, stability, and control characteristics. Leading-edge modifications were effective in improving the stall resistance of the configuration, and resulted in only minor penalties in calculated cruise performance.

    Description: The mean-flow structure of supersonic, turbulent, adiabatic-wall flow in a square duct is investigated experimentally over a development length x/D = 0-50 for a uniform flow, Mach 3.9 condition at the duct inlet. The results show that a secondary flow cell structure develops which is similar to that for the incompressible case. Development of the primary flow is influenced by the combined effects of the secondary flow and the streamwise adverse pressure gradient. Total pressure, axial mean velocity, and Mach number profiles are presented which show that the outer flow is sensitive primarily to the streamwise pressure gradient, while flow in the near-wall region is dominated by the secondary flow. Axial mean-velocity profiles plotted in terms of van Driest-scaled variables show that a well-defined log-law region exists in the near-wall layer. This region exists in the presence of a secondary flow which continuously modifies spanwise wall shear stress behavior along the length of the duct.

    Description: The astrophysical aspects of cosmic rays and gamma rays and the radiation and electromagnetic field environment of the Earth and other planets are investigated. These investigations are carried out by means of energetic particle and photon detector systems flown on spacecraft and balloons. Particle astrophysics is directed toward the investigation of galactic, solar, interplanetary, and planetary energetic particles and plasmas. The emphasis is on precision measurements with high resolution in charge, mass, and energy. Gamma ray research is directed toward the investigation of galactic, extragalactic, and solar gamma rays with spectrometers of high angular resolution and moderate energy resolution carried on spacecraft and balloons.

    Description: Supersonic laminar flow development in a constant-area square duct exhibits as one of its distinguishing features the formation of two contrarotating secondary flow vortices centered about the corner bisector. This phenomenon does not occur in unbounded corner flow. The secondary flow causes an outward bulging of total pressure contours in the vicinity of the corner bisector for wholly attached flow conditions.
