Show moreThe study of oil films can be an approach to determine the friction velocity of turbulent channel flows. In experimentation, the oil film motion and the shear stresses can be measured using oil film interferometry. Similarly, these techniques can be set up to obtain the equivalent numerical simulation of these kinds of flows, also displaying the evolution of an oil droplet in such configurations. A two-dimensional simulation had been obtained using the Nek5000 code provided by Argonne National Laboratory. In this work, it was aimed to check the accuracy of such a simulation and to extend it to a uniform three-dimensional case to see whether the solver could be used to solve such problems. A new two-dimensional simulation was set up and gave preliminary results. A better achievement was made using tuned inputs that allowed comparing it with an available theory. The simulation and its accuracy were justified in specific cases. It was then extended to two uniform three-dimensional cases and compared with the previously obtained two-dimensional results. This allowed an extension of the use of the solver in specific cases and therefore provides an easy-to-implement method to determine the friction velocity in a flow and also to access some flow information such as velocity profiles or by extension pressure gradients.

Show moreSince the inception of GPS, satellite navigation has been a widely used means of navigation for both military and civilian users on the ground and in the air. GPS is capable of providing highly accurate positioning and timing information to users around the globe. However, for certain applications, providing high-accuracy position estimates is not sufficient. Because satellites are susceptible to faults, the safety, or integrity, of the position estimates is also of concern, especially in civilian aviation where safety is critical. As such, receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) can be used in order to detect and potentially exclude these faults and guarantee the safety of the position estimate. RAIM has been capable of supporting horizontal aircraft navigation using GPS for decades and has proven to be a useful tool. Now, as more global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) become available, the potential for advanced RAIM (ARAIM) to support vertical guidance for aircraft using multiple constellations has become an area of great interest. In this work, the ARAIM methodology is discussed, and the procedure is outlined, including protection level calculation, fault detection, and exclusion. The procedure is then implemented in a real-time ARAIM prototype. While GPS and Galileo aim to provide worldwide coverage for vertical guidance by 2020 when Galileo is fully operational, ARAIM performance can be examined at present using the current full-strength GPS and GLONASS constellations. This prototype performs position estimation and ARAIM using measurements from the current GPS, GLONASS, and partial Galileo constellations. ARAIM results in a variety of different GNSS scenarios are examined. Furthermore, this work investigates two methods of improving the computational efficiency of the ARAIM algorithm: satellite selection and fault mode grouping.

Show morePulsed combustion is one of the most energy-efficient and less polluting ways to produce a hot gas stream for heating purposes. It is usually limited, however, by the need to confine the combustion within a resonant tube. In the experiments presented here, pulsed combustion was achieved in the open air by means of upstream acoustic forcing of a porous matrix burner. Using metal matrices at least 20 mm thick, with pore densities of 60 pores per inch, a stoichiometric mixture of air and natural gas at a constant rate of 217.5 standard cubic feet per hour was forced by a speaker mounted on the plenum upstream of the matrix by means of sinusoidal waves of variable amplitude, at 10 to 150 Hz. Instantaneous surface temperature, as well as pressures upstream and downstream of the matrix were acquired. Phase-locked photographs of the combustion zone were acquired by means of a mechanical stroboscope synchronized to the forcing signal. It was found that, as the forcing amplitude increases, the mode of combustion switches from continuous to oscillating flame, to pulsed combustion consisting of a series of ignitions and extinctions. The change of combustion mode was accompanied by substantial changes in matrix surface temperature, with the pulsed mode reaching temperatures 170°C higher than steady-state combustion and 70% increase in radiant heat flux emitted. This was usually accompanied by a contraction in the size of the hot part of the matrix, resulting in an overall increase in radiant heat output of 5%, for our experiments. Maximum surface temperature was reached for a 35 mm thick matrix, which is hereby recommended for practical radiant heaters using this process. The mechanism hypothesized earlier was nearly proved with pending confirmation from reverse velocity measurements.
