Uniformly sampled images are often used to interpolate other data acquired more sparsely with an entirely different mode of measurement. For example, downhole tools enable geophysical properties to be measured with high precision near boreholes that are scattered spatially, and less precise seismic images acquired at the earth’s surface are used to interpolate those properties at locations far ...

The current study presents a low-fidelity, quasi-3D aerodynamic analysis method for Blended-Wing-Body (BWB) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) configurations. A tactical BWB UAV experimental prototype is used as reference platform. utilizes 2D panel analyses and theoretical calculations to rapidly compute lift pitching moment coefficients. philosophy the underlying semi-empirical equations of propos...
