Test Rig for Effective Reproduction of Inlet Distorted Supersonic Flows
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: AF19BT012The subsonic diffuser duct of a modern tactical aircraft is the most difficult component to verify performance at off-design conditions, because of the large cost of testing/modeling complete installations at large scale. It is desirable to effectively reproduce the flow at the end of a supersonic inlet for interfacing with a direct-connect subsonic duct rig. The CFDRC team proposes to deliver a r ...

Optimized Substrate Orientation for 4H-SiC Epitaxy
SBC: MAINSTREAM ENGINEERING CORP Topic: AF19BT015SiC devices are limited in application due to high substrate manufacturing costs. High temperatures are required to make high quality 4H-SiC substrates, limiting throughput and imposing large maintenance costs on equipment. Lowering the process temperature will make SiC devices more economical, but difficulties with maintaining useful growth rates remain; altering CVD gas precursor chemistry alone ...

Transfer Learning and Deep Transfer Learning for Military Applications
SBC: Arete Associates Topic: AF19CT004Aided Target Recognition (AiTR) algorithms augment human decision-making, but require a large database of labeled targets for training. Applied to new domains, these algorithms fail to transfer knowledge and require substantial retraining. Areté and University of Alabama Huntsville (UAH) propose the development of the Domain Extracted Feature Transfer (DEFT) Network to transfer knowledge from a ...
