An evaluation of preliminary Doppler global velocimetry measurements

A review of Doppler Global Velocimetry (DGV) data obtained during wind tunnel tests on a 75 degree swept delta wing was performed. High frequency variations observed in normalized data files are attributed to image alignment problems. Unfortunately, initial DGV velocity data compared poorly with baseline reference data. Nonlinear DGV system operation during the tests is the likely source of this problem. Corrected data compares much more favorably and suggests that DGV is a valid measurement technique. Future DGV investigations should include a method or means for monitoring laser frequency relative to the ALF transfer function behavior.

Overview of the LaNCETS Flight Experiment and CFD Analysis. Supplemental Movies

This presentation focuses on nearfield airborne pressure signatures from the Lift and Nozzle Change Effect on Tail Shocks (LaNCETS) flight test experiment. The primary motivation for nearfield probing in the supersonic regime is to measure the shock structure of aircraft in an ongoing effort to overcome the overland sonic boom barrier for commercial supersonic transportation. LaNCETS provides the opportunity to investigate lift distribution and engine plume effects. During Phase 1 flight testing an F-15B was used to probe the F-15 LaNCETS aircraft in order to validate CFD and pre-flight prediction tools. A total of 29 probings were taken at 40,000 ft. altitude at Machs 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6. LaNCETS Phase 1 flight data are presented as a detailed pressure signature superimposed over a picture of the LaNCETS aircraft. The attenuation of the Inlet-Canard shocks with distance as well as its forward propagation and the coalescence of the noseboom shock are illustrated. A detailed CFD study on a simplified LaNCETS aircraft jet nozzle was performed providing the ability to more accurately capture the shocks from the propulsion system and emphasizing how under- and over-expanding the nozzle affects the existence of shock trains inside the jet plume. With Phase 1 being a success preparations are being made to move forward to Phase 2. Phase 2 will fly similar flight conditions, but this time changing the aircraft's lift distribution by biasing the canard positions, and changing the plume shape by under- and over-expanding the nozzle. Nearfield probing will again be completed in the same manner as in Phase 1. An additional presentation focuses on LaNCETS CFD solution methodology. Discussions highlight grid preprocessing, grid shearing and stretching, flow solving and contour plots. Efforts are underway to better capture the flow features via grid modification and flow solution methodology, which will help to achieve better agreement with flight data. An included CD-ROM provides animations of the nearfield probing procedure and of real data from one of the probings integrated with GPS positional and velocity data. An additional in-flight video from the rear seat of the probing aircraft is also provided.

Pressure Drop Across Woven Screens Under Uniform and Nonuniform Flow Conditions

Tests were conducted to determine the experimental pressure drop and velocity data for water flowing through woven screens. The types of materials used are dutch twill and square weave fabrics. Pressure drop measures were made at four locations in a rectangular channel. The data are presented as change in pressure compared with the average entry velocity and the numerical relationship is determined by dividing the volumetric flow rate by the screen area open to flow. The equations of continuity and momentum are presented. A computer program listing an extension of a theoretical model and data from that computer program are included.

Laser-velocimeter surveys of merging vortices in a wind tunnel: Complete data and analysis

The merger of two corotating vortices was studied with a laser velocimeter designed to measure the two cross-stream components of velocity. Measurements were made at several downstream distances in the vortex wake shed by two semispan wings mounted on the wind-tunnel walls. The velocity data provided wall-defined contours of crossflow velocity, stream function, and vorticity for a variety of test conditions. Downstream of the merger point, the vorticity was found to be independent of the downstream distance for radii smaller than r/b = 0.05. For larger radii, the vorticity depended on the distance from the wing. Upstream of the merger, a multicell vorticity pattern was found.

The role of drop velocity in statistical spray description

The justification for describing a spray by treating drop velocity as a random variable on an equal statistical basis with drop size was studied experimentally. A double-exposure technique using fluorescent drop photography was used to make size and velocity measurements at selected locations in a steady ethanol spray formed by a swirl atomizer. The size-velocity data were categorized to construct bivariate spray density functions to describe the spray immediately after formation and during downstream propagation. It was found that a statistical treatment of drop velocity was supported by the data. Spray density function shapes and modal characteristics depended strongly on position and the amount of droplet-gas interaction that had occurred. Bimodal density functions were formed by environmental interaction during downstream propagation. Large differences were also found between spatial mass density and mass flux size distributions at the same location.

Luminosity-velocity diagrams for Virgo Cluster spirals. I - Inner rotation curves

Optical rotation curves are presented for the innermost portions of nine spiral galaxies in the Virgo Cluster. The emission-line (H-alpha and forbidden N II) velocity data are to be used in combination with new CCD photometry to construct luminosity-velocity diagrams, in a continuing investigation of an apparent initial linear branch and its potential as a distance indicator. Compared to recent H I data, the present optical rotation curves generally show systematically steeper inner gradients. This effect is ascribed to the poorer resolution of the H I data and/or to holes in the gas distribution.

A Full Field, 3-D Velocimeter for NASA's Microgravity Science Program

One of NASA's new Advanced Technology Development projects is stereo imaging velocimetry. Using multiple CCD cameras, the velocimeter will digitize and store images of microscopic seed particles suspended in flowing transparent fluid systems. The data will be processed to obtain full-field, three-dimensional, quantitative velocity data. With successful evolution of the technology, the velocimeter will become part of NASA's flight hardware arsenal, available to both established experiments and new proposals.

Rayleigh Scattering Diagnostic for Simultaneous Measurements of Dynamic Density and Velocity

A flow diagnostic technique based on the molecular Rayleigh scattering of laser light is used to obtain dynamic density and velocity data in turbulent flows. The technique is based on analyzing the Rayleigh scattered light with a Fabry-Perot interferometer and recording information about the interference pattern with a multiple anode photomultiplier tube (PMT). An artificial neural network is used to process the signals from the PMT to recover the velocity time history, which is then used to calculate the velocity power spectrum. The technique is illustrated using simulated data. The results of an experiment to measure the velocity power spectrum in a low speed (100 rn/sec) flow are also presented.

Introduction

This report provides a comprehensive overview of metadata to describe sensor signals in wastewater treatment plants and methods to obtain such metadata. In this introduction, we explain the original motivation behind the MetaCO task group. This includes a description of historical challenges (data volume, data velocity) for which mature technology is now available, and newer challenges, which relate to data structure (data variety) and data quality (veracity). We conclude the chapter with an expression of gratitude to all involved.

Winds in collision. I - Geometric implications of the emission lines for V 1016 Cyg and HM Sge

Emission line profiles and radial velocity data obtained from spectra in the visual region are presented for V1016 Cyg and HM Sge. The profiles of the forbidden emission lines are found to be inconsistent with spherical symmetry for the hot nebular material. It is argued that part of the nebular material in a detached binary system where both stars have spontaneous winds will naturally assume the shape of a curved, roughly conical, shell. The data can be satisfactorily interpreted in terms of the interaction of a low-velocity wind from a red giant with a high-velocity wind from a white dwarf in a detached binary system. This scheme provides a natural assignment of emission line forming regions to different portions of the interaction shell and the two winds, explaining both the profiles and the velocities of the features.
