DEVELOPMENT OF TWO-POINT FOCUSED LASER DIFFERENTIAL INTERFEROMETRY FOR APPLICATIONS IN HIGH-SPEED WIND TUNNELS
(2022)Focused laser differential interferometry (FLDI) and its relative two-point focused laser differential interferometry (2pFLDI) are completely non-intrusive (i.e. seedless) optical techniques for measuring density fluctuations ... -
SCRAMJET COMBUSTOR MODE TRANSITION BY CONTROLLING FUEL INJECTION DISTRIBUTION
(2022)Dual-mode scramjets are able to expand the operable Mach number range of the simplescramjet through manipulation of a thermal throat. Using the thermal throat, the scramjet can operate in either thermally-choked mode or ... -
Effect of Cooling on Hypersonic Boundary-Layer Stability
(2022)The prediction of boundary-layer transition on hypersonic vehicles has long been considered a primary design concern due to extreme levels of heating and dynamic pressure loading this transition induces. While it has been ... -
Full Blade Digital Image Correlation (DIC) Test Apparatus
(2022)The objective of this study was to design a Digital Image Correlation (DIC) apparatuscapable of measuring sectional stiffness properties of full scale helicopter blades within preexisting facilities. To do so, this study ... -
SIMULATION OF MAGNETIC GRANULAR MEDIA USING OPEN SOURCE SOFT SPHERE DISCRETE ELEMENT METHOD
(2021)Magnetic granular media were investigated using a mutual dipole magnetic model integrated into the open source Soft Sphere Discrete Element Method (DEM) framework LAMMPS and LIGGGHTS. Using the magnetic model and the contact ...
