Calm before the storm: Comparing the initial stages of tornadic vs. non-tornadic supercells
Bunting, Lydia M.; Jacob, Jamey D. (Oklahoma State University, 2019-04-26)Supercells are one of the most dramatic displays of weather in Oklahoma, and it is from this type of storm that the majority of tornadoes are produced. But while most tornados are produced by supercells, not every supercell ... -
Characterization of cavity wakes
Kidd, James Allan (2011-07)Scope and Method of Study: This research focused on flow over deep cavities at subsonic speeds with emphasis on the wake downstream of the cavity. Cavity wake behaviors have not been studied in detail and are a major concern ... -
Closed cycle propulsion for small unmanned aircraft
Hays, Thomas Chadwick (2015-07)This study evaluates the merit of closed cycle propulsion systems for use in unmanned systems. The complexity and added weight of closed cycle engines is offset by benefits in high altitude performance, operation in polluted ... -
Computational and experimental investigation of Brazilian Free-Tailed bat ear tubercles on an airfoil leading edge
Fisher, Sara Joy Fresella (2020-05)Preliminary experimental data has indicated that the tubercles on Brazilian Free-Tailed bat ears, when applied to an airfoil leading edge, reduce drag and delay aerodynamic stall. This study's objective was to investigate ... -
Connecting Winding Codes to Quality Control Devices
Mistry, Dipesh Dilip (Oklahoma State University, 2010-07-01)The goal of this study was to develop an extension to the winding models which can convert the outputs of pressures and stresses to units that can be measured using existing quality control devices, the Rho meter in this ... -
Design and analysis of Bellwether: A flying wing featuring the bell-shaped spanload
Weekley, Scott (2021-05)This body of work details the design and analysis, as well as discussion of requirements for eventual fabrication and flight testing, of a flying-wing aircraft. The design presented is focused primarily on matching the ... -
Design and Development of a Severe Storm Research UAS
Avery, Alyssa Shearon (2015-05-01)A small unmanned aircraft system (SUAS) was designed and developed to be utilized for meteorological data collection, specifically information useful for severe storm and tornado prediction. The system will operate prior ... -
Design and development of a water observatory: An autonomous environmental sampling system for in-situ sensing of lakes and rivers
Jdiobe, Muwanika (2020-12)This project focuses on the design, development, and implementation of an autonomous system, or unmanned surface vessel (USV), known as MANUEL (Mobile Autonomously Navigable USV for Evaluation of Lakes). MANUEL is an ... -
Design and Installation of a High Reynolds Number Recirculating Water Tunnel
Daniel, Libin (Oklahoma State University, 2014-07-01)The High-Reynolds Number Fluid Mechanics Laboratory has recently been established at Oklahoma State University (OSU). The three primary components of the laboratory are 1) a recirculating water tunnel, 2) a multiphase pipe ... -
Design of a Rocket Launched Sounding Uas
Fehrenbach, Shea Donald (2016-07-01)Current diagnostic tools used to sample the thermodynamic structure of the AtmosphericBoundary Layer (ABL) include radiosondes, manned aircraft, radar, andtowers. One objective, for sampling the atmosphere, is to supplement ... -
Development and evaluation of a 360° differential pressure gust sensor for extreme weather environments
Cole, Andrew (2022-07)Measuring rapidly fluctuating high wind speeds and direction in the extreme weather environments of severe storms proves to be a difficult task with current sensors. For example, mechanical anemometers do not provide ... -
Development of a Low Cost Unmanned Aircraft System for Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Leak Detection
Mitchell, Taylor Austin (2015-05-01)Carbon sequestration, the storage of carbon dioxide gas underground, has the potential to reduce global warming by removing a greenhouse gas from the atmosphere. These storage sites, however, must first be monitored to ... -
