  GLENN RESEARCH CENTER
  MODELING AND PREDICTION OF THE NOISE FROM NON-AXISYMMETRIC JETS. A MODEL SHALL BE DEVELOPED THAT CAN REPRESENT THREE-DIMENSIONAL EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH SOUND GENERATION AND PROPAGATION IN AN EXHAUST JET EMANATING FROM A RECTANGULAR NOZZLE. A LONGER TERM GOAL IS TO DEVELOP SOUND SOURCE AND PROPAGATION MODELS WHICH CAN PROVIDE HIGHER FIDELITY PREDICTIONS OF THE SOUND FIELD AND YIELD NEW PHYSICAL INSIGHTS INTO THE GENERATION AND PROPAGATION OF INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL NOISE IN EXHAUST JETS FROM NOZZLES OF COMPLEX GEOMETRY. THE MAIN PURPOSE IS TO EXTEND THE CAPABILITY OF EXISTING PHYSICS-BASED JET NOISE PREDICTION CODES TO INCLUDE NON-CIRCULAR NOZZLES.

  GLENN RESEARCH CENTER
  SYNTHESIS, PROCESSING AND CHARACTERIZATION OF LOW-DENSITY POLYMER CROSSLINKED SILICA AEROGELS. OBJECTIVE: SYNTHESIS, PROCESSING AND CHARACTERIZATION OF LOW-DENSITY POLYMER CORSSLINKED SILICA AEROGELS FOR AERONAUTICS AND SPACE APPLICATIONS. SILICA AEOGELS ARE AMONG MATERIALS WITH THE LOWEST DENSITY AND THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY. HAVING NANOSTRUCTURE WITH HIGH MESOPOROSITY AND GOOD TRANSPARENCY, SILICA AEROGELS ARE POTENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR VARIOUS THERMAL, OPTICAL, AND ACOUSTIC APPLICATIONS. THESE MATERIALS ARE ALSO ATTRACTIVE FOR SPACE APPLICATIONS INCLUDING THE STARDUST PROGRAM, VEHICLES, SPACE SUITS AND INSULATED BOXES CNTAINING THE BATTERIES AND ELECTRONICS FOR MARS ROVERS. HOWEVER, THE USE OF AEROGELS HAS BEEN RESTRICTED DUE TO THEIR INHERENT FRAGILITY, HYGROSCOPIC NATURE, AND POOR MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SILICA AEROGELS HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED.
