The majority of problems in aircraft production and operation require decisions made in the presence of uncertainty. For this reason, aerodynamic designs obtained with traditional deterministic optimization techniques seeking only optimality in a specific ...
A detailed study of the interaction between high-speed gas flows and surface dielectric barrier discharges (DBD) is presented. In the present paper, it is demonstrated that a DBD can be sustained in transonic airflows, up to isentropic Mach numbers of 1.1. ...
This study presents calibrated vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopic measurements and filtered cyanogen violet band images for steel, cold graphite, and preheated graphite models at three reentry-relevant conditions in the X2 Expansion Tube. An analysis of thes ...
In this work we present an efficient Multi Level Monte Carlo (MLMC) algorithm capable of propagating operational uncertainties, due to atmospheric variability of external aerodynamics flows and geometrical uncertainties due to manufacturing tolerances and ...
