An investigation of the aerodynamic performance of active camber morphing airfoils. Morphing is shown to provide significant increases in lift-to-drag ratio and increases in maximum lift coefficient for a wide range of airfoil across a broad spectrum of operating conditions. Comparisons are also made to traditional trailing edge flaps, with significantly improved performance predicted.

Sensitivity analysis to passive solar house with an attached sunspace

January 1989

In this paper, using the computer program PASOL-SS, the sensitivity analysis of a passive solar residential house with an attached sunspace in Chinese traditional style is carried out and the related curves are given for performance prediction. Some significant results have been obtained and more topics are suggested further study.

INITIAL SEAKEEPING NUMERICAL ANALYSIS IN IRREGULAR WAVES OF AN 800 TEU CONTAINERSHIP

January 2012

The objective of the present work is to perform an initial seakeeping analysis of an 800 TEU containership, with a total of 139,96m length. The study includes a seakeeping linear analysis, for the heave, pitch and roll motion degrees of freedom. Ship-wave heading angle covers 360 degrees with 15 deg. step. The statistical short term prediction response is carried out for an ISSC wave spectrum. ... [Show full abstract] The initial dynamic response short term statistical polar diagrams are obtained according to the limits of seakeeping criteria.

Baseband combiner for space diversity application: experimental results and a comparison with IF com...

February 2004

In the paper the basic structure of Alcatel high capacity STM-1 baseband combiner (applicable also for STM-0 applications) for space diversity application is described; its performances in term of signature are shown and compared with the ones of a traditional IF combiner, explaining how the former outperforms the latter. Moreover the result of extensive measurements, that have been carried out ... [Show full abstract] on a 10.5 GHz trial link in the northern of Italy during the summer months (that are the most affected by multipath fading), are reported. Comparison in term of outage between measured and predicted performances by theoretical models gives good agreement.

MRD-CI study of the electronic spectrum of the fluoroformyl radical FCO

May 1992 · Chemical Physics Letters

Multireference configuration-interaction calculations (MRD-CI) are carried out to obtain a theoretical prediction of the electronic spectrum of the fluoroformyl radical FCO up to energies of approximately 12 eV, including Rydberg s and p states. Furthermore, an estimation of the oscillator strengths for doublet transitions is given. The spectrum is characterized by three low-lying doublet states ... [Show full abstract] at 4.2, 5.4 and 6.1 eV, whereas the first quartet states as well as the first members of the Rydberg series are located in the energy region between 7 and 8 eV. Parallels are drawn with corresponding theoretical data obtained for the formyl radical and with available experimental findings.
