内容記述 | The program goals were determined after consideration of the weaknesses in our understanding of atmospheric effects on sonic boom waveforms left in the wake of the cancellation of the U.S. SST in the 70's and the advancements in acoustics and atmospheric science since that time. For example, a considerable body of knowledge on molecular absorption has built up in the acoustics community over the last 15 years and this has not been incorporated into the sonic boom theory. Further, it was felt that the understanding of atmospheric turbulence had also advanced considerably during that time period. Therefore, key elements of the current program are the development of an improved atmospheric absorption model and an improved atmospheric turbulence model. The advances made in computer power over the last 15 years were also considered, and will be utilized to remove restrictions on the analytical model for turbulence effects on sonic boom waveforms. Although the majority of disturbing sonic booms will not occur at focuses or caustics, it was felt that this was an area that required further understanding, thus it will be looked into. Finally, in order to insure that the current effort, which is basically analytical in nature, retains a firm grasp on reality, a data base of sonic boom waveforms and associated weather data is being compiled, and a set of scale model experiments is being planned to guide the overall efforts. |
