We describe a compact finite difference scheme to solve div v − q 2 u = 0, v = ϱ grad u , which does not depend upon first eliminating v , so as to obtain a single, higher-order equation. The finite difference equations can be efficiently solved by standard iterative methods, however, by first algebraically eliminating the flux components from the compact form. Energy estimates show that u is approximated to second-order accuracy.
A nonconforming finite element method is described for treating linear equilibrium problems, and a convergence proof showing second order accuracy is given. The close relationship to a related compact finite differenc...

Two‐dimensional dissipative magnetohydrodynamic turbulence is randomly driven at small spatial scales and is studied by numerical simulation in the presence of a strong uniform external magnetic field. A novel behavior is observed which is apparently distinct from the inverse cascade that prevails in the absence of an external magnetic field. The magnetic spectrum becomes dominated by the three longest‐wavelength Alfvén waves in the system allowed by the boundary conditions: those which, in a box size of edge 2π, have wavenumbers (kx,ky) =(1,0),(1,1), and (1,−1), where the external magnetic field is in the x direction. At any given instant, one of these three modes dominates the vector potential spectrum, but they do not constitute a resonantly coupled triad. Rather, they are apparently coupled by the smaller‐scale turbulence.

In this paper we state results on the existence of Chandrasekhar equations for linear time invariant systems defined on Hilbert spaces. An important consequence of this is that the solution to the evolutional Riccati equation is strongly differentiable in time and one can define a 'strong' solution of the Riccati differential equation. A discussion of the linear quadratic optimal control problem for hereditary differential systems is also included.

Inc. He received a bachelor of electrical engineering degree from College of the City of New York in 1960. Mr. Stern joined Dynell Electronics Corporation in 1971 and became part of the Robotic Vision Systems
Inc. staff at the time of its spin-off from Dynell. He was program manager of the various three-dimensional sensing and replication systems constructed by Dynell and Robotic Vision Systems. As program manager his responsibilities encompassed technical administrative and operational areas. The first two portrait sculpture studio systems and the first three replication systems built by Robotic Vision Systems Inc. were designed manufactured and operated under his direction. Before joining Dynell
Mr. Stern was a senior engineer at Instrument Systems Corporation and chief engineer of the Special Products Division of General Instrument Corporation. Prior to these positions Mr. Stern was chief engineer of Edo Commercial Corporation. At General Instrument and Edo Commercial he was responsible for the design and manufacture of military and commercial avionics equipment. Mr. Stern is presently responsible for directing the systems design and development for all of the company's programs.Robert J. Metzger:is currently engineering group leader at Robotic Vision Systems

Ship's propellers are currently measured by manual procedures using pitchometers, templates and gauges. This measurement process is extremely tedious, labor intensive and time consuming. In an effort to provide increased accuracy, repeatability and cost effectiveness in propeller manufacture, an automated propeller optical measurement system (APOMS) has been built which rapidly and automatically scans an entire ship's propeller using a 3-D vision sensor. This equipment is integrated with a propeller robotic automated templating system (PRATS) and the propeller optical finishing system (PROFS) which robotically template and grind the propeller to its final shape, using the APOMS-derived data for control feedback. The optical scanning and the final shape are both controlled by CAD/CAM data files describing the desired propeller shape. An automated propeller balancing system is incorporated into the PROFS equipment. The APOMS/PRATS/PROFS equipment is expected to provide lower propeller manufacturing costs.

The upwind difference schemes of Godunov, Osher, Roe and van Leer are able to resolve one-dimensional steady shocks for the Euler equations within one or two mesh intervals. Unfortunately, this resolution is lost in two dimensions when the shock crosses the computing grid at an oblique angle. To correct this problem, a numerical scheme is developed which automatically locates the angle at which a shock might be expected to cross the computing grid then constructs separate finite difference formulas for the flux components normal and tangential to this direction. Numerical results are presented which illustrate the ability of this new method to resolve steady oblique shocks.

This paper describes a multiyear program to make an operational assessment on the feasibility of a year-round Arctic marine transportation system to serve Alaska. Specifically, the three objectives were to: collect meteorological and ice data along potential marine routes; instrument the hull and propulsion machinery to improve design critera for ice-worthy ships; and demonstrate that ships can operate in midwinter Alaskan Arctic ice conditions. The U.S. Coast Guard's Polar class icebreakers were used to make the operational assessment by annually extending the route northward and by operating throughout the winter season. This paper reviews some of the operational and technical achievements to date, as well as plans for future Arctic deployments.

A ship design methodology is presented for developing hull forms that attain improved performance in both seakeeping and resistance. Contrary to traditional practice, the methodology starts with developing a seakeeping-optimized hull form without making concessions to other performance considerations, such as resistance. The seakeeping-optimized hull is then modified to improve other performance characteristics without degrading the seakeeping. Presented is a point-design example produced by this methodology. Merits of the methodology and the point design are assessed on the basis of theoretical calculations and model experiments. This methodology is an integral part of the Hull Form Design System (HFDS) being developed for computer-supported naval ship design. The modularized character of HFDS and its application to hull form development are discussed.
