General Overview: The common file library is a set of routines that provide access to a file structure hereafter called the common file. The common file structure is a third generation attempt to provide a unifying file structure for storing CFD data. It provides a flexible and extendable mechanism for storing CFD and other data as well. The purpose of the common file library is to insulate the applications programmer from the nuances of dealing with the myriad of differ...

Excerpt: Flight According to Principle. One very cold and windy morning on a North Carolina beach, a lonely group of men huddled on the sand near their pride and joy: a kite like contraption, built of cloth and wood and outfitted with bicycle parts. On the count of three, with the motor turning and heavy wind gusting, one man started to run alongside and guide the craft; in an instant, the pilot lying on the wing steered the craft to flight a few feet above the ground. T...
Excerpt: Fiscal Year 2001 was a year of challenge and accomplishment for NASA. The Space Shuttle turned 20 as NASA launched a new initiative to find better and cheaper access to space, while facing new fiscal realities that could fundamentally change the way the Agency does business. As part of NASA?s implementation of the President?s Management Agenda, we are placing particular emphasis on efforts to improve financial management. NASA?s ability to continue to achieve gr...

Chapter 1: Simulation in Design; Modeling human performance. Computer simulation has come to play an increasingly central role in the design of many different kinds of devices and systems. For some automobile engines, airplane wings, and electronic circuits, for example simulation has long been an integral part of the design engineering process. By allowing engineers to evaluate designs at an early stage in this process, simulation postpones the need for a physical proto...
