Pilot reports from special turbulence-reporting periods were used t o investigate methods of analyzing and forecasting clear-air turbulence over the United States. Meteorological analyses for the special reporting periods were made objectively by computer using only standard upper air rawinsonde measurements. The wind analyses were built upward from the 400-mb level to the 200-mb level using th...

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...

in this paper, construction of triplet atmospheric plasma jet using argon, air, oxygen and nitrogen gases is reported. bactericidal effect of the plasma jet is also investigated. to that end, longitudinal geometric configuration for the electrodes was chosen because it would increase the jet length. electrical characteristics, jet length dependencies on the applied voltage and gas flow rate wer...

Most physically-based simulation systems for computer graphics target only a single simulation domain, such as particle systems, rigid bodies, cloth, and liquids. By using “layering” techniques, one-sided interactions between different domains are easily produced. For example, one-sided particle system/rigid-body simulation is achieved by first running a rigid-body simulator and then injecting ...

an experimental study has been performed to investigate the flow physics of an under-expanded axisymmetric supersonic jet exhausting transversely from a flat plate into a subsonic compressible cross flow. the goal was to study the effects of boundary layer thickness ratio (δ/d) and the jet to free stream dynamic pressure ratio (j) on surface pressure. the resulting measurements distinctly show ...

in this study, the effect of suction and the parameters such as suction amplitude, suction coefficient and suction jet length on naca0012 was evaluated. the turbulence employed model was the rsm model. suction jet is located in 10% of the chord length. the range of suction jet entrance velocity was selected from 0.1 to 0.5 of freestream velocity. the maximum increase in lift to drag ratio was s...

one of the world's major mineral dust source regions lies along the border between iran and afghanistan. in this studyit is hypothesized that a low-level jet may play in role in generating the intensity of this source region. the presence of alow-level jet east of the seistan mountains is documented here for the first time. the jet exists mainly from may toseptember and has a core at 850 mb. ma...
