I will present a new fabrication method that uses surface tension and boundary elements to drive a volume of liquid polymer into a desired structural element in a simulated zero-gravity environment. This method creates rigid elements with extremely smooth surfaces,...

Jet flows arise in a wide range of engineering and environmental applications, including particle transport, combustion, and mixing. In this experimental research, the near-field flow and fiber dynamics of turbulent, round coaxial jets were examined. Coaxial jets are characterized by...

Future long-duration space missions will require in-situ, on-demand manufacturing of tools and components. Photopolymer-based processes are attractive for this purpose due to their low energy requirements and volume efficiency. However, photopolymerization generates significant heat, which is difficult to dissipate in...

The progression of war is filled with surprises, misjudgments, and complex interactions. This deep uncertainty makes it difficult for traditional predictive models to capture the true dynamics of warfare, often rendering predictions highly unreliable and posing a critical challenge to...
