Accession numbers cited in this issue are: S7/4.f?(N-10000 Series) N91-10001 -N91-11665 IAA (A-10000 Series) A91-10001 - A91-12944 The coverage includes documents on the engineering and theoretical aspects of design, con- str(uction, 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 1991 will be published in early 1992. Information on availability of documents listed, addresses of organizations, and NTIS price schedules are located at the back of this issue.

The method . makes use of fully unstructured meshes throughout the entire flow- field, thus enabling the treatment of'arbitrarily complex geometries and the use of adaptive meshing techniques throughout both viscous" and inviscid regions of flow-field. Mesh generation is based on a locally mapped Delaunay technique in order to generate unstructured meshes with highly-stretched elements in the viscous regions. The flow equations are discretized1 using a finite element Navier-Stokes solver, and rapid convergence to steady-state is achieved using an unstructured multigrid algorithm.. Turbulence modeling is performed 'using an inexpensive algebraic- model, implemented for use on unstructured and adaptive meshes. Compressible turbulent flow solutions about multiple-element airfoil geometries are computed and compared with experimental data.

In particular, the role played by large-scale organized fluctuations in the flow evolution and acoustic production processes was examined in detail. The experimental conditions were chosen as low-Reynolds- number (Re = 8000) Mach 1.4 and 2.1 underexpanded jets exhausting from convergent nozzles. A consequence of performing the experiments at low Reynolds number is that the broad and shock- associated noise is suppressed. The focus of the present study is on the generation of noise by large-scale instabilities in the presence of strong shock cell structures. It is demonstrated that the production of screech is related to the modulation and decay of large-scale turbulence structures.
