This paper presents the findings of a study conducted in 2010 by the NASA Innovation Fund Award project entitled "Elastically Shaped Future Air Vehicle Concept". The study presents three themes in support of meeting national and global aviation challenges of reducing fuel burn for present and future aviation systems. The first theme addresses the drag reduction goal through innovative vehicle configurations via non-planar wing optimization. Two wing candidate concepts have been identified from the wing optimization: a drooped wing shape and an inflected wing shape. The drooped wing shape is a truly biologically inspired wing concept that mimics a seagull wing and could achieve about 5% to 6% drag reduction, which is aerodynamically significant. From a practical perspective, this concept would require new radical changes to the current aircraft development capabilities for new vehicles with futuristic-looking wings such as this concept. The inflected wing concepts could achieve between 3% to 4% drag reduction. While the drag reduction benefit may be less, the inflected-wing concept could have a near-term impact since this concept could be developed within the current aircraft development capabilities. The second theme addresses the drag reduction goal through a new concept of elastic wing shaping control. By aeroelastically tailoring the wing shape with active control to maintain optimal aerodynamics, a significant drag reduction benefit could be realized. A significant reduction in fuel burn for long-range cruise from elastic wing shaping control could be realized. To realize the potential of the elastic wing shaping control concept, the third theme emerges that addresses the drag reduction goal through a new aerodynamic control effector called a variable camber continuous trailing edge flap. Conventional aerodynamic control surfaces are discrete independent surfaces that cause geometric discontinuities at the trailing edge region. These discontinuities promote vort

In consideration of such problems as low gas utilization ratio, large gas consumption and high carbon dioxide emissions, a method was proposed by designing a new shaft furnace with oxygen injection into the upper zone. Based on the mass and energy balances of gas and solid phases, a static model of the shaft furnace was developed to simulate the iron-making process in the shaft furnace. Calculating results show that under the typical operation conditions, the gas volume of the shaft furnace with oxygen injection is 1404.67 m3, and the oxygen volume is 20.32 m3 for per ton of direct reduction iron. In comparison with a traditional shaft furnace, the reduction potential of top gas decreases to 0.56, the carbon emission decreases by 26.25%, and the energy consumption decreases by 19.56%.

Although discrete cell-based frameworks are now commonly used to simulate a whole range of biological phenomena, it is typically not obvious how the numerous different types of model are related to one another, nor which one is most appropriate in a given context. Here we demonstrate how individual cell movement on the discrete scale modeled using nonlinear force laws can be described by nonlinear diffusion coefficients on the continuum scale. A general relationship between nonlinear force laws and their respective diffusion coefficients is derived in one spatial dimension and, subsequently, a range of particular examples is considered. For each case excellent agreement is observed between numerical solutions of the discrete and corresponding continuum models. Three case studies are considered in which we demonstrate how the derived nonlinear diffusion coefficients can be used to (a) relate different discrete models of cell behavior; (b) derive discrete, intercell force laws from previously posed diffusion coefficients, and (c) describe aggregative behavior in discrete simulations.

The Core Manufacturing simulation Data (CMSD) data interface standard from NIST was developed to facilitate the exchange of manufacturing data between disparate manufacturing applications including process planning systems and discrete event simulation software tools. The Connecticut center for Advanced Technology has developed an Application Programming Interface (API) for handling CMSD files input and output. This paper will detail how the API is structured, and how it has been used to create translators for converting process planning data and other relevant manufacturing data into CMSD data structures as well as for translating CMSD data into simulation models.
The performance of FPGA increases continually, thus in many applications they can be an interesting alternative to DSPs. The aim of this work is to present the contribution of FPGAs for electrical machines control. Th...

During every standard workshop or event, the examples of working interoperability solutions are used to motivate for 'plug and play' standards for M&S as well, like standardized batteries for electronics, or the use of XML to exchange data between heterogeneous systems. While these are successful applications of standards, they are off the mark regarding M&S interoperability. The challenge of M&S is that the product that needs to be made interoperable is not the service or the system alone, but the model behind it as well. The paper shows that the alignment of conceptualizations is the real problem that is not yet dealt with in current interoperability standards.
