A study of the flow over a 45 degree sweptback wing-fuselage combination at transonic Mach numbers

Report presenting pressure distributions, tuft patterns, and schileren surveys of a sweptback wing-fuselage combination in the 8-foot transonic tunnel at a range of Mach numbers and angles of attack. The wing had 45 degrees of sweepback, an aspect ratio of 4.0, a taper ratio of 0.6, and an NACA 65A006 airfoil section. Results regarding an angle of attack of 0 degrees, 4 degrees, 6 degrees, 8 degrees, 12 degrees, and 20 degrees are provided.

Theory and Procedure for Determining Loads and Motions in Chine-Immersed Hydrodynamic Impacts of Prismatic Bodies (open access)

Theory and Procedure for Determining Loads and Motions in Chine-Immersed Hydrodynamic Impacts of Prismatic Bodies

"A theoretical method is derived for the determination of the motions and loads during chine-immersed water landings of prismatic bodies. This method makes use of a variation of two-dimensional deflected water mass over the complete range of immersion, modified by a correction for three-dimensional flow. Equations are simplified through omission of the term proportional to the acceleration of the deflected mass for use in calculation of loads on hulls having moderate and heavy beam loading" (p. 1025).

Flux Distributions and Critical k [infinity] Values for Cylindrical Reactors Simulation the MTR (open access)

Flux Distributions and Critical k [infinity] Values for Cylindrical Reactors Simulation the MTR

From summary: "In order to estimate the effect of placing bismuth and thorium layers near the MTR core, radial flux distributions and k[infinity] values were calculated for cylindrical reactors having cylindrical layers of these materials of the same height as the core and beryllium reflector and placed either next to the core or embedded in the beryllium reflector."
