In 1957, the percentage of space flight research rose to 23; and at the time of the meeting, 30 percent of the aerodynamic effort and 20 percent of propulsion research was applicable to astronautics problems. The committee also heard special papers on research being conducted in fluid mechanics, satellite studies, spacecraft design proposals, boost-glide and hypersonic vehicle studies, and.

The aerodynamic characteristics of the NREL 5-MW rotor were examined using two numerical simulation tools, an unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes method and a large eddy simulation method. OVERFLOW2 is a fully viscous, 3-D, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes method. SOWFA (Simulator for Offshore Wind Farm Applications) is a wind farm.

Independently, at approximately the same time, a series of papers were published by NASA Ames Research Center studying the technical challenges of various Mars rotorcraft configurations and other vertical lift planetary aerial vehicles (1, 18, 24, 20).

Aerodynamic problems are classified by the flow environment or properties of the flow, including flow speed, compressibility, and viscosity. External aerodynamics is the study of flow around solid objects of various shapes. Evaluating the lift and drag on an airplane or the shock waves that form in front of the nose of a rocket are examples of.

A joint effort between the NASA Ames and Langley Research Centers was undertaken to analyze the Mach 0.745 variant of the Boeing Transonic Truss-Braced Wing (TTBW) Design. Two different flow solvers, LAVA and USM3D, were used to predict the TTBW flight performance. Sensitivity studies related to mesh resolution and numerical schemes were conducted to define best practices for this type of.

Since then, he has worked as a postdoctoral research fellow and research investigator at the Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Laboratory at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on developing efficient numerical techniques that enable high-fidelity aerodynamic and coupled aero-structural optimizations of complex aerospace vehicles.

The papers from this symposium, that was held at the NASA Lewis Research Center on April 3-4, 1990, are presented. The theme selected for the symposium was space travel for the next millennium. It was hoped that the participants would allow their focus to consider possible advances in technologies for space travel not just for currently envisioned projects, but for possibilities beyond the.

The present study aims to clarify and to investigate experimentally the transient aerodynamic force responses in terms of quasi-steady aerodynamic forces and moments acting on heavy and light.

NASA Langley Research Center to obtain the solution to flow field and discrete-adjoint equations. The design sensitivity derivatives (the gradients) used in the optimization were obtained from the solution of adjoint equations. For the adjoint-based design optimization procedure, a cost function is defined and augmented with the flow.

Introduction. The SBIR and STTR subtopics are organized into groupings called “Focus Areas”. Focus areas are a way of grouping NASA interests and related technologies with the intent of making it easier for proposers to understand related needs across the agency and thus identify subtopics where their research and development capabilities may be a good match.

To identify areas needing additional research and development. Focus. The focus of this workshop will be the NASA Common Research Model (CRM) with wind-tunnel measured wing twist; both wing-body and wing-body-nacelle-pylon configurations will be considered. CFD predictions of absolute and incremental force and moment values will be examined and.
