    A new two-dimensional oscillating wing apparatus for unsteady aerodynamics research (1978)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2006-02-22
    Description: An apparatus for experimental research into unsteady transonic flows is described. The apparatus, as installed in the NASA-Ames 11 by 11 Foot Transonic Wind Tunnel, can impart full two-degree-of-freedom motions at reduced frequencies to 0.3, oscillatory amplitudes to tn-2 degs, mean angles to 12 degs, Mach numbers to 1.4 and Reynolds numbers to 12x10. The test wing is fully instrumented for dynamic waveform measurements and the data can be acquired, processed, and displayed in real-time with a new computational data acquisition system. Following a description of the apparatus, sample data from a recently completed test program is presented.

    Adaptive-wall wind-tunnel development for transonic testing (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Experimental techniques for rapid assessment and correction of wall interference in an adaptive-wall wind tunnel are described. The experimental arrangement allows laser velocimetry measurements on two control surfaces and incorporates a dedicated computer for data processing. The apparatus and its instrumentation are described, and typical results from an experiment on a nonlifting NACA 0012 airfoil at M = 0.78 are discussed. It is concluded that the time to acquire laser Doppler velocimeter data should be decreased, and the possibility of using one-step algorithms should be investigated.

    A compatibility assessment method for adaptive-wall wind tunnels (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: A new method is described for assessing the compatibility between inner and outer flow regimes in adaptive-wall wind tunnels. The method is applicable to both two- and three-dimensional flows, and unlike other schemes, requires the measurement of only one velocity component. Moreover, a complete solution to the outer flowfield is not required with the new method. Computer simulations of two- and three-dimensional flows are presented along with data from a two-dimensional pilot wind tunnel test using the new method.

    Thermocapillary flows and their stability (1980)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Steady convective flows for geometries of varying complexity are described. This in general involves the solution of nonlinear free boundary problems. The stability of these flows were determined to more complicated (perhaps time dependent) modes of fluid motion. These include shear flow and free surface instability modes, with possible coupling between them. The effect of surface chemical species is described, including impurities which act as surfactants and insoluble oxide films, on the convective patterns and their stability.

    Applications of adaptive-wall wind tunnels (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: A novel processing technique for the flowfield data generated by an adaptive wall wind tunnel is presented whose basic premise is the possible undesirability of forcing such a wind tunnel to simulate free-air conditions. The concept of a 'phantom' wind tunnel is introduced for both two- and three-dimensional wind tunnels, yielding a continuous spectrum of flow fields, ranging from the original passive and ventilated configuration to a fully adaptive one. In order to implement these procedures, active control is limited to floor and ceiling surfaces.

    The evolution of adaptive-wall wind tunnels (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Since its inception, adaptive wall wind tunnel design has developed three major configurational possibilities: streamlined walls, variable porosity walls, and segmented plenum arrangements. All of these methods have demonstrated their feasibility for transonic flow research; development programs are noted to be underway for three-dimensional adaptive wall tunnels. With the availability of advanced computational procedures, routine angle-of-incidence or Mach sweeps may be treated numerically, while adaptive wall wind tunnels are employed for complementary point-design and for testing at flow conditions that are beyond the capabilities of current numerical modeling.

    Thermocapillary Flows and Their Stability: Effects of Surface Layers and Contamination (1985)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The objective is to study quantitatively thermocapillary flows in two-dimensional and axisymmetric geometries in order to learn the impact of such flows on float-zone refining configurations. The work begins with the analytical study of steady flows in slots and zones to obtain predictions of surface curvature, flow and heat transport. It then examines the instability of such flows. Three new instability mechanisms have been identified and the results show that thermocapillary flows of high Prandtl number fluid become convectively unstable while those of low Prandtl number fluid become hydrodynamically unstable. The work includes numerical simulations of steady, high Marangoni number flows in unit aspect ratio boxes and asymptotic solutions in large boxes. Furthermore, the effect of surface contamination on the steady thermocapillary flows was examined. This fundamental study focused on fluid dynamical systems used to understand events in the flow of melts in float-zone geometries both on Earth and in microgravity environments.

    Generalized adaptive-wall wind tunnels (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Adaptive-wall technology is being seriously considered for many aeronautical wind tunnel applications. A new degree of freedom is introduced into adaptive-wall wind tunnels. It is shown that the adaptive control system used to adjust wall boundary conditions may be used to select a wide variety of flow fields. These flow fields, in turn, maybe directly related to many useful unconfined or semiconfined flows. The generalized adaptive-wall concept is demonstrated for both two- and three-dimensional flows using simple analytical techniques.

    Catalog of double lunar swingby orbits for exploring the Earth's geomagnetic tail (1980)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Forty three orbits, which are periodic in geocentric reference frames rotating at lunar and at solar rates were found using a patched conic technique. The different orbits provide coverage of different parts of the distant geomagnetic tail. The parameters for 43 sun synchronous double lunar swingby orbits and plots of the sun synchronous double lunar swingby orbits are included.

    Intelsat VI (F-3) reboost mission (1992)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: As the result of a launch vehicle malfunction, the Intelsat VI(F-3) communications satellite failed to achieve geostationary orbit. The satellite is presently safe in a low-earth orbit pending a NASA Space Shuttle Program (SSP) mission to retrieve it and attach a solid rocket. This paper describes the recovery hardware design and the overall mission efforts undertaken to recover and reboost the satellite.
