Saddle point of attachment in horseshoe vortex system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Laminar juncture flow has been well studied experimentally and numerically in recent years. New topology upstream in terms of saddle point of attachment has been investigated by both approaches. In this work, the obstacle ... -
Skydiving control system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Skydiving, the act of a person jumping out of an airplane (or aircraft) and landing safely on the ground, has been a common practice since the early 1900's. Throughout the history of skydiving, skydivers have used parachutes ... -
