Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).

  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Meme title: "Preliminary analysis of unexpected wobble in a rigidly non-wobbling system"

Actual title: "Analysis of the dynamic response of a supersonic inlet to flow-field perturbations upstream of the normal shock"

The design of these shock-position control systems requires knowledge of the shock-position dynamic response to perturbations in the inlet.

They need to control the position of the shockwave in the inlet ducts of supersonic craft using variable geometry ducting. To have precise control they need to understand how the unintended wobbling of the non-wobbling system affects the shockwave.

Seems to check out.
