Bogoliubov-Cherenkov Radiation in an Atom Laser [PDF]
We develop a simple yet powerful technique to study Bogoliubov-Cherenkov radiation by producing a pulsed atom laser from a strongly confined Bose-Einstein condensate. Such radiation results when the atom laser pulse falls past a Bose-Einstein condensate at high-hypersonic speeds, modifying the spatial profile to display a characteristic twin jet ...

Hypersonic Weapons-Part 1: Background and Vulnerability to Missile Defenses [PDF]
Assessing the desirability of hypersonic glide vehicles (HGVs) requires understanding what capabilities they may provide compared to alternative systems that could carry out the same missions, particularly given the technical difficulties and additional costs of developing hypersonic gliders compared to more established technologies.

On the Görtler Vortex Instability Mechanism at Hypersonic Speeds [PDF]
The linear instability of the hypersonic boundary layer on a curved wall is considered. As a starting point the viscosity of the fluid is taken to be a linear function of temperature and real-gas effects are ignored. It is shown that the flow is susceptible to Gortler vortices and that they are trapped in the logarithmically thin adjustment layer in ...

Development of a high-fidelity computational tool for chemically reacting hypersonic flow simulations [PDF]
In this paper, we present a methodology to achieve high-fidelity simulations of chemically reacting hypersonic flows and demonstrate our numerical solver's capabilities on a selection of configurations. The numerical tools are developed based on previous in-house codes for high-speed simulations with improvements in both numerical and physical modeling.

Prediction of aerothermal characteristics of a generic hypersonic inlet flow [PDF]
The accurate prediction of aerothermal surface loading is of paramount importance for the design of high speed flight vehicles. In this work, we consider the numerical solution of hypersonic flow over a double-finned geometry, representative of the inlet of an air-breathing flight vehicle, characterized by three-dimensional intersecting shock-wave ...
