Accession numbers cited in this issue are: STAR (N-10000 Series) N92-10001 - N92-11965 IAA (A-10000 Series) A92-10001 - A92-13248 The coverage includes documents on the engineering and theoretical aspects of design, con- struction, evaluation, testing, operation, and performance of aircraft (including aircraft engines) and associated components, equipment, and systems. It also includes research and develop- ment in aerodynamics, aeronautics, and ground support equipment for aeronautical vehicles. Each entry in the publication consists of a standard bibliographic citation accompanied in most cases by an abstract. The listing of the entries is arranged by the first nine STAR specific categories and the remaining STAR major categories. This arrangement offers the user the most advantageous breakdown for individual objectives. The citations include the original ac- cession numbers from the respective announcement journals. Seven indexes—subject, personal author, corporate source, foreign technology, contract number, report number, and accession number—are included. A cumulative index for 1992 will be published in early 1993. Information on availability of documents listed, addresses of organizations, and NTIS price schedules are located at the back of this issue.

COSATI CODE PRICE CODE Theoretical analyses and computer codes are being developed for predicting compressible unsteady inviscid and viscous flows through blade rows. Such analyses are needed to determine the impact of unsteady flow phenomena on the structural durability and noise generation characteristics of turbomachinery blading. Emphasis is being placed on developing analyses based on asymptotic representations of unsteady flow phenomena. Thus, flow driven by small-amplitude unsteady excitations in which viscous effects are concentrated in thin layers are being considered. The resulting analyses should apply in many practical situations, lead to a better understanding of the relevent physics, and they will be efficient computationally, and therefore, appropriate for aeroelastic and aeroacoustic design applications. Under the present phase (Task 3), the effort was foucused on providing inviscid and viscid prediction capabilities for subsonic unsteady cascade flows.

TITLE -PROBE SHAPES FOR STREAMWISE MOMENTUM AND CROSS-STREAM TURBULENCE INTENSITY AUTHOR -VERNON ROSSOW, J. (NASA, Ames Research Center, Moffett - AUTHORS' AFFILIATION Field, CA) Journal of Aircraft (ISSN 0021-8669), vol. 28, Nov. 1991, p. 741-749. refs Copyright JOURNAL TITLE When the highly turbulent flowfields at the edges of jets, in augmentors, and in other jet-mixing devices are surveyed with conventional pilot probes, the values indicated by the instruments may contain a significant increment brought about by the dynamics of the eddies. Although the influence of turbulence on the measurements is usually negligible in streams where the turbulence level is 1 percent or less, the effect of turbulence on static and total pressure measurements can be around 20 percent when the turbulence level exceeds 40 percent. This paper describes a theoretical study that develops probe shapes that directly measure the time-averaged total pressure based on the streamwise component of the velocity vector to obtain a direct measurement of the streamwise momentum. The difference between the time-averaged pressure indicated by such a probe and one that measures the total head based on the entire velocity vector yields the cross-stream turbulence intensity. Author VII AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING A Continuing Bibliography (Suppl. 275) FEBRUARY 1992 01 measured properties of currently available balloon construction materials. The resulting strains induced for various sized balloons is calculated and shown to be acceptable for a large variety of AERONAUTICS (GENERAL) sizes. The disadvantages of the production method are described and weighed in comparison to the advantage of decreased change-over time and increased production efficiency. Future plans for production equipment modernization to take full advantage of the ST process are presented.
