Secondary sonic boom predictions for U.S. coastlines.
This study examines the behavior of secondary sonic booms on United States (U.S.) coastlines to have a more complete understanding of the impact of supersonic travel on communities.

A low-boom and low-drag design method for supersonic aircraft and its applications on airfoils
Sonic boom reduction has been an urgent need for the development of future supersonic transport, because of the heavy damage of noise pollution. This paper provides a novel concept for supersonic aircraft to reduce the sonic boom and drag coefficient ...

Loudness and short-term annoyance of sonic boom signatures at low levels.
Supersonic aircraft produce a sonic boom when flying faster than the speed of sound. To rule out detrimental effects for inhabitants of overflown areas, civil supersonic flights (like the Concorde) were only allowed to fly at supersonic speed when over ...

Passenger Spaceplanes and Airplanes that Have Variable Configuration for Sonic Boom Reduction [PDF]
In the last time, the interest for passenger space plane, supersonic passenger aircraft and supersonic business jets is increasing. For reducing sonic boom effects at ground level, some companies proposed airplanes having fuselage with small traversal ...

Controls on Seasonal Atmosphere-Ecosystem Carbon Dioxide Exchanges in a Temperate Salt Marsh. [PDF]
We quantified net ecosystem exchange of carbon dioxide in a Spartina alterniflora salt marsh on the eastern shore of Virginia using eddy‐covariance measurements from March 2016 to February 2017. Peak carbon dioxide uptake occurred during summer, with tidal inundation reducing both daytime assimilation and nighttime respiration, while diffuse light ...

Numerical Investigation of Influence of Mesh Property in Nearfield Sonic Boom Prediction [PDF]
To investigate the influence of mesh property in nearfield sonic boom prediction, the over-pressures of several typical configurations are commutated and analyzed with an in-house Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes solver.

The Origin and Physico-Chemical Properties of Some Unusual Earth Rock Fragments
In this paper, several researches were undertaken related to a violent phenomenon, characterized by a sonic boom, felt on an area of at least 500 km2, shortly followed by the fall of rock fragments that were then recovered from the ground.
