A detailed numerical investigation of the interaction between a lateral jet and the external flow has been performed for a variety of missile body geometries. These include non-finned axisymmetrical bodies and finned bodies with either strakes or aft-mounted tail fins. The computations were performed at Mach numbers 2, 4.5, and 8. To obtain the numerical results, both Reynolds- averaged Navier-Stokes and Euler techniques were applied. The computational results were compared with results from a previously published wind tunnel study that consisted primarily of global force and moment measurements. The results show significant interactions of the jet-induced flow field with the fin surfaces, which produce additional effects compared with the body alone. In agreement with the wind tunnel study, in some cases the presence of lifting surfaces resulted in force and/or moment amplification of the jet interaction with the missile surfaces. The results indicate deamplification of the jet force at Mach 2 for all three bodies. Amplification of the jet force was also observed for high Mach numbers, particularly for the body with strakes. For the results examined here, there were only minor differences in the global force and moment predictions when viscous or inviscid techniques were used. The dependence of the interaction parameters on angle of attack and jet pressure was well predicted by both methods. The numerical techniques showed good agreement with the experiments at supersonic Mach numbers but only fair agreement for the hypersonic, Mach 8 case.

**Winner, Choice Magazine Outstanding Academic Title 2015** This Japanese design book presents the arts, aesthetics and culture of Japan with over 160 stunning color photos and extensive historical and cultural commentary. The Japanese sensibility often possesses an intuitive, emotional appeal, whether it''s a silk kimono, a carefully raked garden path, an architectural marvel, a teapot, or a contemporary work of art. This allure has come to permeate the entire culture of Japan—it is manifest in the most mundane utensil and snack food packaging, as well as in Japanese architecture and fine art. In Japanese Design, Asian art expert and author Patricia J. Graham explains how Japanese aesthetics based on fine craftsmanship and simplicity developed. Her unusual, full-color presentation reveals this design aesthetic in an absorbing way. Focusing on ten elements of Japanese design, Graham explores how visual qualities, the cultural parameters and the Japanese religious traditions of Buddhism and Shinto have impacted the appearance of its arts. Japanese Design is a handbook for the millions of us who have felt the special allure of Japanese art, culture and crafts. Art and design fans and professionals have been clamoring for this—a book that fills the need for an intelligent, culture-rich overview of what Japanese design is and means. Topics explored in Japanese Design include: The Aesthetics of Japanese Design The Cultural Parameters of Japanese Design Early Promoters of "Artistic Japan" 1830s-1950s

Thermodynamics and information touch theory every facet of chemistry. However, the physical chemistry curriculum digested by students worldwide is still heavily skewed toward heat/work principles established more than a century ago. Rectifying this situation, Chemical Thermodynamics and Information Theory with Applications explores applications dra

The Population, Health and Development project of The International Development Research Centre''s Social Sciences Dvision was created in 1983 as a temporary mechanism to support and to strengthen the capacity of developing country researchers in carrying out interdisciplinary investigations of the persistent problems of high levels of infant and child mortality and poor health. This review illustrates the potential utility of existing health data in four West African countries (Mali, Senegal, the Gambia, and Sierra Leone), data other than population surveys and censuses that can be used to complement and evaluate more standard sources of demographic data. The larger purpose of the document is to make researchers rethink and improve their use of existent data collected in African health institutions.
