BRUTE

Description: BRUTE is an algorithm to derive the implied boundary of a piecepart from the part's wireframe representation. BRUTE's input is an IGES file. The geometry is extracted and used to derive the edge-vertex (EV) topology. BRUTE then uses a divide-and-conquer method to derive all reasonable face-edge-vertex (FEV) topologies from the EV topology. The final step is to determine the geometry of each face by using the geometry of its edges. Any FEV topology that contains a face that is not a valid surfac… more

Analytic flux formulas and tables of shielding functions

Description: Hand calculations of radiation flux and dose rates are often useful in evaluating radiation shielding and in determining the scope of a problem. The flux formulas appropriate to such calculations are almost always based on the point kernel and allow for at most the consideration of laminar slab shields. These formulas often require access to tables of values of integral functions for effective use. Flux formulas and function tables appropriate to calculations involving homogeneous source region… more

Radial Wire Drift Chambers for CDF Forward Tracking

Description: We describe the design, construction, and operating experience of unique drift chambers with radially strung wires for the Collider Detector of Fermilab (CDF) [1] which cover forward ad backward cone angles between 2{sup o} and 10{sup o} and 170{sup o} to 178{sup o}. The chambers are capable of operating in our high rate and high track multiplicity environment with excellent multitrack resolution of 2-3 mm and high tracking accuracy of 140 {micro}m per wire. Results from the recent running expe… more

LOVEL: a low-velocity aerodynamic heating code for flat-plates, wedges, and cones

Description: The LOVEL computer program calculates the boundary-layer edge conditions for subsonic and supersonic flow over flat-plate, wedge, and cone geometries for freestream Mach conditions (M/sub infinity/ < 3. Cold-wall heat-transfer calculations use reference temperature correlations based on boundary-layer edge Mach number to compute fluid properties. The first part of this report describes the theory used in the computation of the cold-wall heat-transfer rates; the second part describes in detail t… more
