Abstract:

A report is presented of technical activities and results for the period 1 September 1969 - 30 June 1974, during which the Polytechnic Aerophysics Institute was engaged in continued support of the program of the Strategic Technology Office of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Areas of concern involved atmospheric and flow-generated plasmas and flow characteristics as they related to high speed flight and explosions in the field and laboratory, and to lasers and undersea simulation. Specific topics of theoretical and experimental nature included numerical analysis of flows, ion-collecting probes, laser-Raman-scattering and laser-Doppler diagnostics, near-wake behavior, turbulent mixing, surface-cooling, a novel aerodynamic test method, plume gas-dynamics, plasma diffusion and diagnostics, laser brightness and stratified-flow undersea simulation in an air wind-tunnel.
