The goal of this investigation is to study the effect of wing sweep angle on the horizontal wing-body- tail configurations in subsonic flow. For this purpose, a series of wind tunnel tests were conducted on a model having a moveable horizontal tail and a wing planform with different sweep angles. Tests were performed at different tail deflection angles. Static surface pressure distribution over...

We present a sweep-based approach to modeling and deformation of three-dimensional objects. We approximate the deformable parts of an object using sweep surfaces. The vertices on the object boundary are bound to the sweep surfaces and then follow their deformation. For practical applications, we apply this approach to 3D human body modeling and deformation, and then extend it to the freeform de...

This paper investigates the application of the Red-Black Half-Sweep Gauss-Seidel (HSGS-RB) method by using the half-sweep triangle finite element approximation equation based on the Galerkin scheme to solve two-dimensional Poisson equations. Formulations of the full-sweep and half-sweep triangle finite element approaches in using this scheme are also derived. Some numerical experiments are cond...

The Voronoi diagram is an important data structure in computational geometry. Given n sites in the plane, the Voronoi diagram partitions the plane into n regions. The region of a site p consists of all those points that lie closer to p than to any of the other sites. For a survey on Voronoi diagrams and their applications we refer to Aurenhammer [1]. A generalization of the sweep line method of...

Summary: We present a new optical frequency domain reflectometry technique which permits high frequency sweep repetition rates without sacrificing range. This technique could thus be adapted for remote and distributed acoustic sensing over long

OBJECTIVE To determine if sweep visual evoked potential (VEP) acuity is predictive of recognition acuity in children with albinism. METHODS A retrospective review was performed in children with albinism who underwent sweep VEP testing from 1992 to 2003. All patients had a complete ophthalmologic examination with either binocular or monocular sweep VEP testing and at least 5 years of follow-up...

This paper presents a survey as well as a new sweep-circle algorithm, on plane sweep algorithms for computing the Delaunay triangulation. The algorithms examined are: Fortune’s sweep-line algorithm, Zalik’s sweep-line algorithm, and a sweep-circle algorithm proposed by Adam, Kauffmann, Schmitt, and Spehner. We test implementations of these algorithms on a number of uniform and none-uniform dist...

We propose a sweep-based approach to the freeform deformation of three-dimensional objects. Instead of using a volume enclosing the whole object, we approximate only its deformable parts using sweep surfaces. The vertices on the object boundary are bound to the sweep surfaces and follow their deformation. Several sweep surfaces can be organized into a hierarchy so that they interact with each o...
