Balloon-Based Disturbance Measurements in the Upper Atmosphere
SBC: Tao Of Systems Integration Inc Topic: AF16AT02For prediction of hypersonic aerothermodynamics, knowledge of the relevant disturbance levels is required to determine transition locations in flight at the altitudes of interest. Tao Systems and University of Maryland (UMD) propose to develop a flight platform and measurement system capable of acquiring pressure, temperature, density, velocity fluctuations, and particulates using a miniaturized, ...

High-Altitude Atmospheric Characterization for Validation of Ground Testing Facilities
SBC: PHYSICS, MATERIALS, AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS RESEARCH L.L.C. Topic: AF16AT02Optimal design and successful operation of high-altitude (near-space range of 100-200kft) hypersonic flight vehicles hinges, among other factors, on accurate characterization of prevailing atmospheric freestream and disturbance conditions. This is due to the fact that drag, heat and structural loads experienced by the vehicle can vary significantly depending upon the nature of the flow over the ve ...

Fast Response Heat Flux Sensors and Efficient Data Reduction Methodology for Hypersonic Wind Tunnels
SBC: Ahmic Aerospace LLC Topic: AF17AT001Accurate knowledge of heat flux is critical in assessing the performance and survivability of hypersonic aerodynamic systems. Under these flow regimes extreme pressures, temperatures, and vibrations make it difficult to quantify even the most basic aerothermodynamic properties. Ahmic Aerospace and Virginia Tech propose an innovative new approach to develop robust heat flux sensors and a data reduc ...

An Immersed Boundary Framework for Topology Optimization of Nonlinear Thermoelastic Structures with Internal Radiation
SBC: SPECTRAL ENERGIES LLC Topic: AF17AT015Thermoelastic structures poses a critical challenge to designers due to the inherent proportionality of the thermal loading on the structural thickness. This is further exacerbated by structural nonlinearity where any out-of-plane deformation further increases the effective loading on the structure. As a result of this, conventional design optimization procedures, which are typically based on line ...
