one of the most common methods for controlling and increasing maneuverability of projectiles, especially the ones which move at high altitude and in low density air, is using lateral or reaction jets. the resultant force of the reaction jet is related to the jet and flow parameters. for finding their relation experimental, numerical, and analytical methods have been used. in order to change the...

This paper numerically studies the steady Coanda effect for drag reduction and airwake manipulations on Chalmers ship model (CSM) using large eddy simulation with wall-adapting local-eddy viscosity model. Numerical methods are validated by experimental data acquired from baseline CSM. In creating flow control model, hanger base of CSM is modified surfaces injection slots along its roof edge two...

Traveling through several time zones results in a constellation of symptoms known as jet lag. These include reduced alertness, daytime fatigue, loss of appetite, reduced cognitive skills, and disruption of the sleep/wake cycle. In susceptible air travel passengers, jet lag may exacerbate affective illness and result in psychiatric morbidity. Dysregulation of circadian rhythms and melatonin secr...

We report the first detection, with Chandra, of X-ray emission from the jet of the powerful narrow-line radio galaxy 3C 346. X-rays are detected from the bright radio and optical knot at which the jet apparently bends by about 70 degrees. The Chandra observation also reveals a bright galaxy-scale atmosphere within the previously-known cluster, and provides a good X-ray spectrum for the bright c...

BACKGROUND Bio-jet fuels compatible with current aviation infrastructure are needed as an alternative to petroleum-based jet fuel to lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Cradle to grave life cycle analysis is used to investigate the global warming potential and fossil fuel use of converting poplar biomass to drop-in bio-jet fuel via a novel bioconversion platfor...
