A wind-tunnel study of a wing-embedded lifting fan has been conducted at the Side Wind Test Facility G{\"o}ttingen of DLR, German Aerospace Center in G{\"o}ttingen using force, pressure, and stereoscopic particle image velocimetry techniques. The study showed that a step on the lower side of the wing in front of the lifting fan duct increases the lift-to-drag ratio of the whole model by up to 25\% for all positive angles of attack. Different sizes and inclinations of the step had limited influence on the surface pressure distribution. The data indicate that these parameters can be optimized to maximize the lift-to-drag ratio. A doubling of the curvature radius of the lifting fan duct inlet lip on the upper side of the wing affected the lift-to-drag ratio by less than 1\%. The lifting fan duct inlet curvature can therefore be optimized to maximize the vertical fan thrust of the rotating lifting fan during hovering without affecting the cruise flight performance with a nonrotating fan.}, language = {en} } @article{GoettenHavermannBraunetal.2020, author = {G{\"o}tten, Falk and Havermann, Marc and Braun, Carsten and Marino, Matthew and Bil, Cees}, title = {Wind-tunnel and CFD investigations of UAV landing gears and turrets - Improvements in empirical drag estimation}, series = {Aerospace Science and Technology}, volume = {107}, journal = {Aerospace Science and Technology}, number = {Art. 106306}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1270-9638}, doi = {10.1016/j.ast.2020.106306}, year = {2020}, abstract = {This paper analyzes the drag characteristics of several landing gear and turret configurations that are representative of unmanned aircraft tricycle landing gears and sensor turrets. A variety of these components were constructed via 3D-printing and analyzed in a wind-tunnel measurement campaign. Both turrets and landing gears were attached to a modular fuselage that supported both isolated components and multiple components at a time. Selected cases were numerically investigated with a Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes approach that showed good accuracy when compared to wind-tunnel data. The drag of main gear struts could be significantly reduced via streamlining their cross-sectional shape and keeping load carrying capabilities similar. The attachment of wheels introduced interference effects that increased strut drag moderately but significantly increased wheel drag compared to isolated cases. Very similar behavior was identified for front landing gears. The drag of an electro-optical and infrared sensor turret was found to be much higher than compared to available data of a clean hemisphere-cylinder combination. This turret drag was merely influenced by geometrical features like sensor surfaces and the rotational mechanism. The new data of this study is used to develop simple drag estimation recommendations for main and front landing gear struts and wheels as well as sensor turrets. These recommendations take geometrical considerations and interference effects into account.}, language = {en} } @article{SchmitzSchmittDammann1985, author = {Schmitz, G{\"u}nter and Schmitt, H.J. and Dammann, H.}, title = {Weakly Guiding Semileaky Isolator with a Form-Birefringent Top Layer}, series = {Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics ; (5, 1985, Baltimore, Md.) ; Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO '85) ; (1985.05.21-24 ; Baltimore, Md.)}, journal = {Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics ; (5, 1985, Baltimore, Md.) ; Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO '85) ; (1985.05.21-24 ; Baltimore, Md.)}, publisher = {Optical Society of America}, address = {Washington, DC}, pages = {260}, year = {1985}, language = {en} } @article{SchirraBissonnetteBramesfeld2018, author = {Schirra, Julian and Bissonnette, William and Bramesfeld, G{\"o}tz}, title = {Wake-model effects on induced drag prediction of staggered boxwings}, series = {Aerospace}, volume = {5}, journal = {Aerospace}, number = {1}, issn = {2226-4310}, doi = {10.3390/aerospace5010014}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @article{MathiakWillneckerPlescher2005, author = {Mathiak, Gerhard and Willnecker, Rainer and Plescher, Engelbert}, title = {Vibrational effects on diffusion experiments}, series = {Microgravity science and technology : international journal for microgravity research and applications}, volume = {Vol. 15}, journal = {Microgravity science and technology : international journal for microgravity research and applications}, number = {No. 1}, issn = {0938-0108}, pages = {295 -- 300}, year = {2005}, language = {en} } @article{HeierliPurvesFelberetal.2004, author = {Heierli, Joachim and Purves, Ross S. and Felber, Andreas and Kowalski, Julia}, title = {Verification of nearest-neighbours interpretations in avalanche forecasting}, series = {Annals of Glaciology}, volume = {38}, journal = {Annals of Glaciology}, number = {1}, isbn = {1727-5644}, pages = {84 -- 88}, year = {2004}, abstract = {This paper examines the positive and negative aspects of a range of interpretations of nearest-neighbours models.

This is particularly the case if samples are collected by non-conventional techniques such as those required for aquatic subglacial environments. In this paper we present the first analysis of a subglacial brine from Taylor Valley, (~ 78°S), Antarctica for the trace metals: Ba, Co, Mo, Rb, Sr, V, and U. Samples were collected englacially using an electrothermal melting probe called the IceMole. This probe uses differential heating of a copper head as well as the probe's sidewalls and an ice screw at the melting head to move through glacier ice. Detailed blanks, meltwater, and subglacial brine samples were collected to evaluate the impact of the IceMole and the borehole pump, the melting and collection process, filtration, and storage on the geochemistry of the samples collected by this device. Comparisons between melt water profiles through the glacier ice and blank analysis, with published studies on ice geochemistry, suggest the potential for minor contributions of some species Rb, As, Co, Mn, Ni, NH4+, and NO2-+NO3- from the IceMole. The ability to conduct detailed chemical analyses of subglacial fluids collected with melting probes is critical for the future exploration of the hundreds of deep subglacial lakes in Antarctica.}, language = {en} } @article{BlomePriester1985, author = {Blome, Hans-Joachim and Priester, Wolfgang}, title = {Vacuum energy in cosmic dynamics}, series = {Astrophysics and Space Science. 117 (1985), H. 2}, journal = {Astrophysics and Space Science. 117 (1985), H. 2}, isbn = {0004-640X}, pages = {327 -- 335}, year = {1985}, language = {en} } @article{WittmannGillessenOttoetal.1996, author = {Wittmann, Klaus and Gillessen, F. and Otto, G. and R{\"o}stel, R.}, title = {Undercooling and solidification of metallic melts suspended in a non-nucleating matrix: Experiment NUCAL of the German Spacelab Mission D-2}, series = {Acta Astronautica. 38 (1996), H. 1}, journal = {Acta Astronautica. 38 (1996), H. 1}, isbn = {0094-5765}, pages = {63 -- 68}, year = {1996}, language = {en} } @article{Esch2010, author = {Esch, Thomas}, title = {Trends in commercial vehicle powertrains}, series = {ATZautotechnology}, volume = {2010}, journal = {ATZautotechnology}, number = {10}, publisher = {Vieweg \& Sohn}, address = {Wiesbaden}, issn = {2192-886X}, doi = {10.1007/BF03247185}, pages = {26 -- 31}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Low emission zones and truck bans, the rising price of diesel and increases in road tolls: all of these factors are putting serious pressure on the transport industry.

RAMMS is based on a model similar to shallow water equations with a Coulomb friction relation and the velocity dependent Voellmy drag. It is used for snow avalanche risk assessment in Switzerland. The snow avalanche simulation relies on back calculation of observed avalanches. The calibration of the friction parameters depends on characteristics of the avalanche track. The topographic curvature terms are not yet included in the above mentioned classical model. Here, we fundamentally improve this model by mathematically and physically including the topographic curvature effects. By decomposing the velocity dependent friction into a topography dependent term that accounts for a curvature enhancement in the Coulomb friction, and a topography independent contribution similar to the classical Voellmy drag, we construct a general curvature dependent frictional resistance, and thus propose new extended model equations. With three site-specific examples, we compare the apparent frictional resistance of the new approach, which includes topographic curvature effects, to the classical one. Our simulation results demonstrate substantial effects of the curvature on the flow dynamics e.g., the dynamic pressure distribution along the slope. The comparison of resistance coefficients between the two models demonstrates that the physically based extension presents an improvement to the classical approach. Furthermore a practical example highlights its influence on the pressure outline in the run out zone of the avalanche.
