OPERATIONALIZING THE EDUCATION BASE
Includes Supplementary MaterialNaval Special Warfare (NSW), in accordance with strategic level guidance issued over the last few years, is shifting its focus from the counter-terrorism missions of the last two decades to preparing to respond to threats posed by developed nation-states such as China and Russia. It will be important to identify and fill any critical gaps in operational capability that would prevent NSW from achieving anticipated objectives against said adversaries.
One particularly valuable—yet underutilized—asset that should be leveraged to accomplish this goal is the personnel that NSW sends to Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) as students. They are in a unique position to conduct in-depth analysis to better understand, characterize, and identify solutions to current and anticipated real-world operational problems.
Establishing official and sustainable mechanisms for coordination between NSW and its students at NPS is a task of principal importance for ensuring that both organizations are maximizing the school’s utility. This capstone project provides deliverables intended to enact and codify mechanisms for coordination between NSW, NPS, and the National Security Innovation Base.Senior Chief Petty Officer, United States NavyApproved for public release.

Dust flux within dust devils: Preliminary laboratory simulations
Laboratory simulations using the Arizona State University Vortex Generator (ASUVG) were run to simulate dust flux in dust devils. These tests used particles 2 μm in diameter and 2600 kg m−3 in density, and the results were compared with data from natural dust devils on Earth and Mars. Typically, the cores of dust devils (regardless of planetary environment) have a pressure drop of ∼0.2–1.5 percent of ambient atmospheric pressure. Core pressure drops in our experiments ranged from ∼0.01 to 5.00 percent of ambient pressure (10 mbar Mars cases and 1000 mbar for Earth cases). Flux experiments were run at vortex tangential wind velocities of 1 to 42 m s−1; typically ∼35–50 percent above threshold values for the particles used. Dust flux was determined by time averaged measurements of mass loss for a given vortex size. Dust fluxes of ∼10−3 kg m−2 s−1 were obtained, similar to estimates for flux for dust devils on Earth and Mars, regardless of core size. Vortex strength appears to be closely related to the strength of the pressure drop in the core (ΔP) and is less determined by size of the vortex. This is critical in scaling the laboratory results to natural dust devils
