Estimation of the Turbulent Schmidt Number from Experimental Profiles of Axial Velocity and Concentration for High-Reynolds-Number Jet Flows

Abstract: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is increasingly being applied to model turbulent jet flows in practical applications ranging from gas turbine combustion to noise control and thrust augmentation....

Canadian medical experiments on Shuttle Flight 41-G

Abstract: During the 41-G mission, two payload specialist astronauts took part in six Canadian medical experiments designed to measure how the human nervous system adapts to weightlessness, and how this might contribute to space motion sickness Similar tests conducted pre-flight provided base-line data, and post-flight experiments examined re-adaptation to the ground No changes were detected in the vestibulo-ocular reflex during this 8-day mission Pronounced proprioceptive illusions were experienced, especially immediately post-flight Tactile acuity was normal in the fingers and toes, but the ability to judge limb position was degraded Estimates of the locations of familiar targets were grossly distorted in the absence of vision There were no differences in taste thresholds or olfaction Despite pre-flight tests showing unusual susceptibility to motion sickness, the Canadian payload specialist turned out to be less susceptible than normal on-orbit Re-adaptation to the normal gravity environment occurred within the first day after landing

The development and testing of a full-scale piloted ornithopter

Abstract: This article summarizes the design, construction, and testing of a full-scale piloted omithopter. The project was based on the earlier development of a successful loft-span remotely-piloted proof-of-concept model, which provided the key analytical tools for assessing the feasibility of the full-scale aircraft. Also, many of the structural-design and construction methods were scaled from the model. However, there were several new development issues for the full-scale ornithopter, such as cockpit layout, pilot safety, and undercarriage design. Fully-instrumented taxi trials have been conducted in 1996,1997, and 1998, which alternated with detailed design changes and strengthening. The most recent tests have brought this aircraft to the verge of full flight, resulting in controlled hops from which in-flight load data have been obtained.
