TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of streamwise slots on the interaction of a normal shock wave with a turbulent boundary layer has been investigated experimentally at a Mach number of 1.29.
Abstract: The effect of streamwise slots on the interaction of a normal shock wave with a turbulent boundary layer has been investigated experimentally at a Mach number of 1.29. The surface-pressure distribution for the controlled interaction was found to feature a distinct plateau. This was caused by a change in shock structure from a typical unseparated normal shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction to a large bifurcated lambda-type shock pattern, which led to a reduction of total pressure losses. A strong spanwise variation of boundary-layer properties was observed downstream of the slots, whereas the modified shock structure was relatively two-dimensional. Surface flow visualization confirmed that the slots introduced a region of recirculation into the boundary layer, similar to passive control with uniform surface ventilation. Surface flow visualization revealed the presence of a pair of counter-rotating vortices, confirmed by crossflow velocity measurements. Because of the reduction of total pressure losses, streamwise slots can reduce aircraft wave drag at transonic cruise while incurring only small viscous penalties. A similar control device can also be of use in supersonic intakes where total pressure losses limit engine performance

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of a delamination crack along the facesheet/core interface of a sandwich structure which is submitted to transverse loading is considered. And the energy release rate is studied for a virtual crack growth by means of Irwin's crack closure integral within a finite element modelling.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the detections and measurements of two binary stars from observations of microlensing events MOA-2011-BLG-090 and OGLE-2011 BLG-0417 and determined the binary masses by simultaneously measuring the Einstein radius and the lens parallax.
Abstract: Despite the astrophysical importance of binary star systems, detections are limited to those located in small ranges of separations, distances, and masses and thus it is necessary to use a variety of observational techniques for a complete view of stellar multiplicity across a broad range of physical parameters. In this paper, we report the detections and measurements of two binaries discovered from observations of microlensing events MOA-2011-BLG-090 and OGLE-2011-BLG-0417. Determinations of the binary masses are possible by simultaneously measuring the Einstein radius and the lens parallax. The measured masses of the binary components are 0.43M(circle dot) and 0.39M(circle dot) for MOA-2011-BLG-090 and 0.57M(circle dot) and 0.17M(circle dot) for OGLE-2011-BLG-0417 and thus both lens components of MOA-2011-BLG-090 and one component of OGLE-2011-BLG-0417 are M dwarfs, demonstrating the usefulness of microlensing in detecting binaries composed of low-mass components. From modeling of the light curves considering full Keplerian motion of the lens, we also measure the orbital parameters of the binaries. The blended light of OGLE-2011-BLG-0417 comes very likely from the lens itself, making it possible to check the microlensing orbital solution by follow-up radial-velocity observation. For both events, the caustic-crossing parts of the light curves, which are critical for determining the physical lens parameters, were resolved by high-cadence survey observations and thus it is expected that the number of microlensing binaries with measured physical parameters will increase in the future.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized the economic arguments in favour of regulation and analyzed the operational and strategic developments among European airlines in response to regulatory liberalization, identifying four kinds of response: a search for size and market dominance; efforts to reduce operating costs; the use of new market- ing tools; and the introduction of new operating practices.
