The development and application of high-critical-speed nose inlets

Description: From Summary: "An analysis of the nose-inlet shapes developed in previous investigations to represent the optimum from the standpoint of critical speed has shown that marked similarity exists between the nondimensional profiles of inlets which have widely different proportions and critical speeds. With the nondimensional similarity of such profiles established, the large differences in the critical speeds of these nose inlets must be a function of their proportions. An investigation was underta… more

On the Reversibility of Newton-Raphson Root-Finding Method

Description: Reversibility of a computational method is the ability to execute the method forward as well as backward. Reversible computational methods are generally useful in undoing incorrect computation in a speculative execution setting designed for efficient parallel processing. Here, reversibility is explored of a common component in scientific codes, namely, the Newton-Raphson root-finding method. A reverse method is proposed that is aimed at retracing the sequence of points that are visited by the f… more

Preparation of bismuth powder

Description: The principal object of this report is to record results of tests made on equipment installed in Room 232 of ``T`` Building and used to prepare bismuth powder for process operations. Another object is to establish the most favorable operating conditions for the equipment and to prepare operating instructions therefor.

SUBPICOSECOND ELECTRON BUNCH DIAGNOSTIC

Description: This is the final report of a three-year, Laboratory-Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The purpose of this LDRD project was to develop new, inexpensive, simple electron beam bunch-length diagnostics with resolutions below 1/4 picosecond (ps). Our approach to this problem was three pronged. First, it was our intent to build a streak camera with 1/2 ps resolution. This conventional diagnostic was to be used to verify the results of two … more
