Physics Faculty Publications

The twin-axis cavity is a new kind of rf superconducting cavity that consists of two parallel beam pipes, which can accelerate or decelerate two spatially separated beams in the same cavity. This configuration is particularly effective for high-current beams with low-energy electrons that will be used for bunched beam cooling of high-energy protons or ions. The new cavity geometry was designed to create a uniform accelerating or decelerating fields for both beams by utilizing a TM110 dipole mode. This paper presents the design rf optimization of a 1497 MHz twin-axis single-cell cavity, which is currently under fabrication.


A Wind Tunnel Technique For The Identification Of Ship Airwake/Rotor Downwash Coupling, Stargel R. Doane Jul 2011

A Wind Tunnel Technique For The Identification Of Ship Airwake/Rotor Downwash Coupling, Stargel R. Doane

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations

A wind tunnel study is performed to analyze the interaction between ship airwakes and helicopter rotor downwash. This interaction is of interest to naval aviators and researchers as this phenomenon is thought to limit helicopter flight envelopes and increase the overall difficulty of maritime rotorcraft operations. In this study, a 1/50th scale simplified naval frigate model and appropriately scaled rotor model are used for all experimental work. A rotor thrust survey was conducted in the immediate vicinity of the landing deck. Two dimensional and stereo particle image velocimetry surveys and rotor thrust measurements with various rotor and ship configurations were …
