Dynamics of high-bypass-engine thrust reversal using a variable-pitch fan
The test program demonstrated that successful and rapid forward-to reverse-thrust transients can be performed without any significant engine operational limitations for fan blade pitch changes through either feather pitch or flat pitch. For through-feather-pitch operation with a flight inlet, fan stall problems were encountered, and a fan blade overshoot technique was used to establish reverse thrust
Engage D3.5 Opportunities for innovative ATM research (interim report)
This document reports on the topics and academic disciplines of past Exploratory Research projects, notably SESAR Workpackage E (long-term and innovative research) and SESAR Exploratory Research (ER) with a view of tracing the evolution of research as well as opportunities for future research. This analysis is complemented with relevant activities in Engage, such as the Engage thematic challenges
Engage D2.7 Annual combined thematic workshops progress report
This deliverable reports on the organisation and results obtained from the third and fourth editions of the Engage thematic challenge (TC) workshops held in 2021. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the third editions of the TC2 and TC3 workshops, initially scheduled to be held in 2020, were delayed to the beginning of 2021. The TC1 and TC4 workshops reached their third edition in 2021, while TC2 and TC3 closed with the fourth edition. The main lessons learned relate to data availability, collaboration opportunities, machine learning and artificial intelligence methodologies and approaches, and incentives for future ATM implementations
Modeling the momentum distributions of annihilating electron-positron pairs in solids
Measuring the Doppler broadening of the positron annihilation radiation or
the angular correlation between the two annihilation gamma quanta reflects the
momentum distribution of electrons seen by positrons in the
material.Vacancy-type defects in solids localize positrons and the measured
spectra are sensitive to the detailed chemical and geometric environments of
the defects. However, the measured information is indirect and when using it in
defect identification comparisons with theoretically predicted spectra is
indispensable. In this article we present a computational scheme for
calculating momentum distributions of electron-positron pairs annihilating in
solids. Valence electron states and their interaction with ion cores are
described using the all-electron projector augmented-wave method, and atomic
orbitals are used to describe the core states. We apply our numerical scheme to
selected systems and compare three different enhancement (electron-positron
correlation) schemes previously used in the calculation of momentum
distributions of annihilating electron-positron pairs within the
density-functional theory. We show that the use of a state-dependent
enhancement scheme leads to better results than a position-dependent
enhancement factor in the case of ratios of Doppler spectra between different
systems. Further, we demonstrate the applicability of our scheme for studying
vacancy-type defects in metals and semiconductors. Especially we study the
effect of forces due to a positron localized at a vacancy-type defect on the
ionic relaxations.Comment: Submitted to Physical Review B on September 1 2005. Revised
