AIAA Aviation UAS DAA Demonstration-Mini HITL Week 2 Stats

The UAS-NAS Project demo will showcase recent research efforts to ensure the interoperability between proposed UAS detect and avoid (DAA) human machine interface requirements (developed within RTCA SC-228) and existing collision avoidance displays. Attendees will be able to view the current state of the art of the DAA pilot traffic, alerting and guidance displays integrated with Traffic advisory and Collision Avoidance (TCAS) II in the UAS-NAS Project's research UAS ground control station (developed in partnership with the Air Force Research Laboratory). In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to interact with the research UAS ground control station and "fly" encounters, using the DAA and TCAS II displays to avoid simulated aircraft. The display of the advisories will be hosted on a laptop with an external 30" monitor, running the Vigilant Spririt system. DAA advisories will be generated by the JADEM software tool, connected to the system via the LVC Gateway. A repeater of the primary flight display will be shown on a 55" tv/monitor mounted on a stand at the back of the booth to show the pilot interaction to the passersby.

An experimental investigation of the separating/reattaching flow over a backstep

This progress report covers the grant period from March until the end of January 1993. Extensive data reduction and analysis of single and two-point measurements for a backward-facing experiment were performed. Pertinent results are presented in two conference papers which are appended to this report. The titles of the papers are as follows: (1) 'Two-point correlation measurements in a recovering turbulent boundary layer'; and (2) 'An experimental study on the recovery of a turbulent boundary layer downstream of the reattachment'.

An experimental investigation of the separating/reattaching flow over a backstep

Transport characteristics of the turbulent kinetic energy, k, and the shear stream, bar(-uv), were studied in an incompressible boundary layer downstream of the reattachment of the separated flow behind a backward facing step. Hot-wire measurement techniques were used to measure three Reynolds stresses and higher order mean products of velocity fluctuations. These quantities were used to evaluate advection, turbulent diffusion, and production terms of the k and bar(-uv) transport equations. The dissipation rate and pressure-strain terms were obtained as the difference of all the other terms. The Reynolds number based on the step height was 37,000 and the upstream oncoming flow was fully developed turbulent boundary layer with the R(sub theta) = 3600.

An experimental investigation of the separating/reattaching flow over a backstep

Reynolds number effects on the evolution of the turbulence structure in the recovery region of a turbulent separated flow generated by a backward-facing step were studied experimentally. Five different flow conditions and four Reynolds numbers were investigated. All single point measurements were conducted on the plane of symmetry of the wind tunnel starting at approximately x/h = 10 for each flow condition. The upper limit of the measuring domain depends upon the physical size of the tunnel and ranged from 50 to 114 step heights. It is apparent that most of the boundary layer recovery was captured by the experiment. Normal stresses, shear stress, mixing length scales and eddy viscosity are shown, while the higher order velocity products related to the diffusion of the turbulence energy are planned for latter stages of the data analysis.
