A digital model based on a random walk was used in an experiment to determine how well such a model is able to simulate alluvial-fan deposition. The model is in three dimensions and is dynamic with respect to both time and space. Two principal stochastic events were employed, (1) a relative uplift of the mountain area that is the source of the fan sediments, and (2) a storm event of sufficient magnitude to result in the deposition of material on the fan. These two events are assumed to follow independent Poisson processes with exponentially distributed interoccurrence times. The pattern of deposition is determined by a random walk from the canyon mouth at the mountain front, and each depositional event is assumed to occur instantaneously. The direction that each step in the walk takes is determined probabilistically by the gradient in the direction of flow, the momentum of flow, and the boundary conditions stipulated in the model. The type of flow, whether a depositing debris or water flow, or eroding water flow, depends upon the thickness of erodible material in the source basin. Deposition is assumed to occur over the entire route of flow either as a bed tapered in the direction of flow or as a bed of uniform thickness. The particle-size distribution of the water-flow deposits is governed by the slope in the direction of flow. Erosion is considered negative deposition and results from the exponential decline in elevation of the main stream channel at the fan apex during periods of no uplift, or from water flows containing little basin sediment. Results from the computer runs were printed as geologic maps of the fan surface, and geologic sections through the deposits; these indicate that, at least qualitatively, a random-walk model provides a reasonable basis for simulating alluvial-fan deposition.

Approved for public release, distribution unlimited / A 12-inch diameter, 1.5-inch span crossflow fan test apparatus was constructed and tested using the existing Turbine Test Rig (TTR) as a power source. Instrumentation was installed and a data acquisition program was developed to measure the performance of the crossflow fan. Performance measurements were taken over a speed range of 1,000 to 7,000 RPM. Results comparable to those measured by Vought Systems Division of LTV Aerospace in 1975 were obtained. At 6,000 RPM, a thrust-to-power ratio of one was determined; however, at 3,000 RPM twice the thrust-to-power ratio was measured. Flow visualization was conducted using dye-injection methods. Performance and flow visualization results were compared to predictions obtained from 2-D numerical simulation conducted using Flo++, a commercial PC-based computational fluid dynamics software package by Softflo. A possible design for a light civil V/STOL aircraft was suggested using a similar crossflow fan apparatus for both lift and propulsion. / Lieutenant, United States Navy

Sport fans develop strong loyalties to their favorite teams, but there has been little research conducted on when this loyalty is formed. Previous research suggests that loyalty can form at very young ages, but it is difficult to classify young children based on age due to their rapid development over short periods of time. This is why it is necessary to use cognitive development stages to classify groups of young subjects in order to accurately group their predictive actions and abilities. Very little research has been done on sport loyalty development, especially using cognitive development as a categorizing tool. It is this report’s suggestion that more research must be done on this subject to truly understand the implications of this measurement tool and its effects on the development of loyalty. / text
