Panel methods: An introduction

Panel methods are numerical schemes for solving (the Prandtl-Glauert equation) for linear, inviscid, irrotational flow about aircraft flying at subsonic or supersonic speeds. The tools at the panel-method user's disposal are (1) surface panels of source-doublet-vorticity distributions that can represent nearly arbitrary geometry, and (2) extremely versatile boundary condition capabilities that can frequently be used for creative modeling. Panel-method capabilities and limitations, basic concepts common to all panel-method codes, different choices that were made in the implementation of these concepts into working computer programs, and various modeling techniques involving boundary conditions, jump properties, and trailing wakes are discussed. An approach for extending the method to nonlinear transonic flow is also presented. Three appendices supplement the main test. In appendix 1, additional detail is provided on how the basic concepts are implemented into a specific computer program (PANAIR). In appendix 2, it is shown how to evaluate analytically the fundamental surface integral that arises in the expressions for influence-coefficients, and evaluate its jump property. In appendix 3, a simple example is used to illustrate the so-called finite part of the improper integrals

PAN AIR analysis of the NASA/MCAIR 279-3: An advanced supersonic V/STOL fighter/attack aircraft

PAN AIR is a computer program for predicting subsonic or supersonic linear potential flow about arbitrary configurations. The program was applied to a highly complex single-engine-cruise V/STOL fighter/attack aircraft. Complexities include a close-coupled canard/wing, large inlets, and four exhaust nozzles mounted directly under the wing and against the fuselage. Modeling uncertainties involving canard wake location and flow-through approximation through the inlet and the exhaust nozzles were investigated. The recently added streamline capability of the program was utilized to evaluate visually the predicted flow over the model. PAN AIR results for Mach numbers of 0.6, 0.9, and angles of attack of 0, 5, and 10 deg. were compared with data obtained in the Ames 11- by 11-Foot Transonic Wind tunnel, at a Reynolds number of 3.69 x 10 to the 6th power based on c bar

Proceedings of the Thirty-first Annual Biochemical Engineering Symposium

The Thirty-First Annual Biochemical Engineering Symposium was held on September 7 and 8, 2001, at Kansas State University. The program included 10 oral presentations and 3 posters; however the paper by Boyack and Gilcrease was not presented because the presenter was ill and unable to come. Some of the papers describe work that is in progress while others describe completed projects. Many of the authors intend to submit their work for publication elsewhere in a more complete form. A listing of those who attended is given below. The activities began on Friday evening with an indoor picnic because of rain and wind.

The Granular Layer Thickness in Atopy and Ichthyosis Vulgaris

Our data confirm the finding that the granular cell layer is markedly decreased in thickness in ichthyosis vulgaris. The granular layer cannot be used as an index of dry skin in the atopic state because no significant differences in granular cell layer thickness were present in skin specimens from atopic patients with normal skin or dry skin

Energy, Transportation, Air Quality, Climate Change, Health Nexus: Sustainable Energy is Good for Our Health

Citation: Erickson, L. E., & Jennings, M. (2017). Energy, Transportation, Air Quality, Climate Change, Health Nexus: Sustainable Energy is Good for Our Health. Aims Public Health, 4(1), 47-61. doi:10.3934/publichealth.2017.1.47The Paris Agreement on Climate Change has the potential to improve air quality and human health by encouraging the electrification of transportation and a transition from coal to sustainable energy. There will be human health benefits from reducing combustion emissions in all parts of the world. Solar powered charging infrastructure for electric vehicles adds renewable energy to generate electricity, shaded parking, and a needed charging infrastructure for electric vehicles that will reduce range anxiety. The costs of wind power, solar panels, and batteries are falling because of technological progress, magnitude of commercial activity, production experience, and competition associated with new trillion dollar markets. These energy and transportation transitions can have a very positive impact on health. The energy, transportation, air quality, climate change, health nexus may benefit from additional progress in developing solar powered charging infrastructure

An assessment of the adaptive unstructured tetrahedral grid, Euler Flow Solver Code FELISA

A three-dimensional solution-adaptive Euler flow solver for unstructured tetrahedral meshes is assessed, and the accuracy and efficiency of the method for predicting sonic boom pressure signatures about simple generic models are demonstrated. Comparison of computational and wind tunnel data and enhancement of numerical solutions by means of grid adaptivity are discussed. The mesh generation is based on the advancing front technique. The FELISA code consists of two solvers, the Taylor-Galerkin and the Runge-Kutta-Galerkin schemes, both of which are spacially discretized by the usual Galerkin weighted residual finite-element methods but with different explicit time-marching schemes to steady state. The solution-adaptive grid procedure is based on either remeshing or mesh refinement techniques. An alternative geometry adaptive procedure is also incorporated

Formation and Stability of Substituted Pyromorphite: A Molecular Modeling Study

Soils contaminated with lead pose significant risk to human as well as terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Theoretical phase relationships and field observations suggest that the interaction of lead and phosphorus to form pyromorphites Pb5(PO4 )3 X (X= OH-, Br-, Cl-, or F-) is an important buffer mechanism controlling the migration and fixation of lead in the environment. We report a molecular modeling approach to investigate the formation and stability of the substituted pyromorphites, which involved evaluating the lattice energy of the minerals using ab initio quantum mechanics. The lattice energy values are used in a Born-Haber thermodynamic cycle to calculate the heat of formation of the minerals. The Gibbs free energy of the substituted pyromorphites is then calculated from the change in entropy and heat of formation. The systems investigated in this study include partial and total substitution of Pb2+ by Cd2+ and Zn2+ cations in chloropyromorphite (Pb5(PO4 )3Cl ). Results indicate the unstable nature of the substituted Pb pyromorphite. The stability of the substituted minerals is found in the order Pb-pyromorphite \u3e Cd-pyromorphite \u3e Zn-pyromorphite
