Computational Fluid Analysis Of G-12 Parachute, Jesus Lucio Valles
Computational Fluid Analysis Of G-12 Parachute, Jesus Lucio Valles
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
The main focus is on the Computational fluid interaction of the effect of parachutes in use on stresses and forces in the material. Constant research is being done to understand how air behaves when it interacts with parachutes. Due to the high turbulence and chaotic air behavioral, it is difficult to predict the behavior of the parachute. The stresses and pressure measurements are nearly impossible to take when in actual use. By simulating such problem in a computer software major advancement is made. The measurements are now taken and the behavior of the parachute is obtained. Rather than having to …

Metaphors, Metonymies, Modes And Linear Algebra, Persis Samanta Beaven
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
The analysis focused on the presence of different thinking modes, metonymies, and metaphors found on the interview responses to questions related to linear independence, span, and spanning sets of four students taking their first linear algebra course at the college level. The findings provide insight of how first year linear algebra students move from one thinking mode to another and what kind of metonymies and metaphors are used to construct new knowledge. The main purpose of this research was to document and determine the main characteristics that categorize the four students' reasoning.
