Development and characterization of plasma actuators for high-speed jet control

Active control of high Reynolds number and high-speed jets has been hampered due to the lack of suitable actuators. Some of the attributes that would make an actuator suitable for such flows are: high amplitude and bandwidth; small size for distribution around the jet; phase-locking ability for jet azimuthal mode forcing; and sufficient ruggedness for hot jets. We have been developing a class of actuators termed localized arc filament plasma actuators, which possess such characteristics. In this paper, we present the development and characterization of these actuators as well as preliminary results on their applications in high Reynolds number Mach 0.9 and ideally expanded Mach 1.3 jets.Patent pending     

Construction and properties of sub-miniature pressure pickups

Summary Two manometers for dynamical measurements (up to frequencies of the order of 50 Hz) are described which were developed for measuring blood pressure in cardiac catheterization studies and for measurements in pneumatic controllers respectively. The principle of a differential transformer was used in which the core was entirely borne by a phosphorbronze membrane. The diameter of the blood pressure manometer is 2 mm (fitting to no. 6 catheter), its length 10 mm. The most important properties of the manometers are to be found in § 4.     

Conjugate-point conditions for variational problems with delayed argument

A variational problem with delayed argument is investigated. The existing necessary conditions are first reviewed. New results, two conjugate-point conditions, are then derived for this problem. The method of proof is similar to that used by Bliss for the classical problem. An example shows that the two conditions are not equivalent, and that the first-order necessary conditions, the strengthened Legendre conditions, and the conjugate-point conditions do not in general constitute a set of sufficient conditions for the delay problem. It is shown that a special case, referred to as the separated-integrand problem, leads to considerable simplification of the results for the general problem.
