Fluid flow research is a rapidly growing technological field, with extensive research in many areas. This compilation of technical papers explores recent avenues of research in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows—and the different aspects of both electroconductive and nonconductive fluids—in one complete volume. Drawing from the Eighth Beer-Sheva International Seminar on MHD Flows and Turbulence, Branover and Unger review more than 65 technical papers covering such topics as turbulent flows, energy conversion, and hydrodynamic and MHD flows. Held every three years since 1975, the Beer-Sheva se

Since the dawn of spaceflight, advocates of a robust space effort have argued that human activity beyond Earth makes a significant difference in everyday life. Assertions abound about the “impact” of spaceflight on society and its relationship to the larger contours of human existence. Fifty years after the Space Age began, it is time to examine the effects of spaceflight on society in a historically rigorous way. Has the Space Age indeed had a significant effect on society? If so, what are those influences? What do we mean by an “impact” on society? And what parts of

To stay on the forefront of aerospace design, you need state-of-the-art knowledge on the computational power now in use. Applied Computational Aerodynamics goes beyond the theories to focus on real world applications. Richly illustrated chapters feature geometric types of problems ranging from the classic airfoil problem to the complexity of complete aircraft such as the 737, 7J7, the F-16, and the Space Shuttle launch configuration. Plus, applications for components are also detailed, including wings, high-lift systems, propulsion system components, and rotors. Featuring a complete overvi

DRAFT Supersonic combustion ramjet (SCRJ) engine research and development begun some 40 years ago is the key to airbreathing hypersonic flight. Many unexpected complexities of SCRJ engine combustion and combustor-inlet interaction have been continuing challenges. However, valuable progress has been made in several aspects. In the next few years, it would appear that significant flight testing will take place in several countries and this should lead to further understanding of SCRJ processes in engine design for cruise and accelerator vehicle applications. This volume-the third and final in

The basics of aerothermodynamics are treated in this book with special regard to the fact that outer surfaces of hypersonic vehicles primarily are radiation cooled. The implications of this fact are different for different vehicle classes. In any case the properties of both attached viscous and separated flows are of importance in this regard. After a discussion of flight environment and transport phenomena in general, the most important aerothermodynamic phenomena are treated. Thermal surface effects are particularly considered, taking into account both radiation cooling and/or active cooling

This book contains the invited papers presented at the Mars Exploration Past, Present, and Future Conference in Williamsburg, Virginia, in July 1991. Past missions are reviewed in terms of science returned and systems, operations, and management lessons learned. Present missions are examined briefly, and future missions are examined in the context of the Space Exploration Initiative. Of particular interest are the papers on the Viking mission. They provide valuable management lessons learned for future program and project managers.
