Induced turbulence in aerosol-loaded atmospheres

Description: This paper considers the effects of a pulse of radiation from a high-energy laser beam on the ambient turbulence that exists in the atmosphere. The atmosphere is considered as a compressible, perfect gas being heated by the high-energy laser pulse. We compute correlation functions of the temperature in the isobaric regime. The two-point correlation function is changed by a multiplicative factor that grows exponentially in time while the pulse is on Empirical formulas permit us to connect temper… more

Central Calorimeter Thermal Gradient Module Connection Analysis

Description: Two 20 kW condensing and one 10 kW steady state cooling coils will be used to cool and condense gaseous argon in the Central Calorimeter (CC) Cryostat. Since this cool down (300K to 90K) will inevitably cause shrinkage in the modules contained inside the cryostat, the connections between the modules have to be designed to withstand the increase in forces and moments induced by this contraction. This paper presents finite element analysis (ANSYS{reg_sign}) results to aid in the design or modific… more
