CONSTITUTIONAL LAW-COMMERCE CLAUSE-STATE TAXATION OF VESSELS ENGAGED IN INTERSTATE COMMERCE

The Standard Oil Company, an Ohio corporation, owned boats and barges which it employed in transporting oil on the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. These vessels were registered in Ohio but stopped in Ohio only occasionally for fuel or repairs. The maximum distance traversed by these vessels on waters bordering Ohio was 17½ miles. An ad valorem personal property tax levied by the Tax Commissioner of Ohio on all these vessels was upheld by the Supreme Court of Ohio. On appeal, held, reversed, Justices Black and Minton dissenting. Since these vessels are subject to the property taxes of other states on an apportionment basis, the domiciliary state is precluded from taxing the entire value of the vessels. Standard Oil Co. v. Peck, 342 U.S. 382, 72 S.Ct. 309 (1952)

Development and application of the GIM code for the Cyber 203 computer

The GIM computer code for fluid dynamics research was developed. Enhancement of the computer code, implicit algorithm development, turbulence model implementation, chemistry model development, interactive input module coding and wing/body flowfield computation are described. The GIM quasi-parabolic code development was completed, and the code used to compute a number of example cases. Turbulence models, algebraic and differential equations, were added to the basic viscous code. An equilibrium reacting chemistry model and implicit finite difference scheme were also added. Development was completed on the interactive module for generating the input data for GIM. Solutions for inviscid hypersonic flow over a wing/body configuration are also presented
