A Spectral Solver to Capture Unsteady Dynamics in the Aerospike Nozzle Wake
A robust, high fidelity spectral solver for supersonic and hypersonic flow over an aerospike nozzle is presented. Numerical stability is achieved with a novel hybrid artificial viscosity (AV) - finite volume subcell element (FVSE) shock capturing method. The AV method is computational efficient. The diffusive FVSE method is locally called in elements where the AV method cannot sufficiently smooth the solution gradients, serving as a "parachute" in the context of numerical stability. The efficac…

I gotta share a clip. I was in GTA5 story mode...and found I could go to director mode and build up to the ufo above fort zancudo...then as Trevor I "walled in" the UFO and then jumped in and tested the mechanics...it is true that it pushes you away if you fall on it without a parachute...and it behaves different if you are falling with the parachute(cause then you collide with it and if not in god mode, you die)
While if you land with a parachute, it won't push you away!…

Israeli soldiers fired gunshots into the sky.
That was the signal:
Move forward.
The crowd surged as one.
There were no organized lines, no distribution points
— just scattered supplies thrown from trucks or dropped by parachute.
People climbed over each other to grab whatever they could before it was gone.
I wished I had the muscle to fight my way through, to claim a small box of pasta or a can of tuna.
But my body has been malnourished for m…

In Gaza, Aid Is a Tracking Device Distributed by People With Guns and Drones
Hunger in Gaza isn’t accidental — it’s managed. It’s enforced. And now, aid is being militarized.

The airdrops on Gaza are a PR stunt, not a humanitarian operation | Opinions | @…

This is the extremely rare Parachute penstemon, only found in a small area in northern Colorado, USA.
This penstemon grows on steep shale fields at 7,800 to 9,200 feet elevation. The flower blooms from about mid-June to mid-July each year.

Parachute: Single-Pass Bi-Directional Information Passing
Sideways information passing is a well-known technique for mitigating the impact of large build sides in a database query plan. As currently implemented in production systems, sideways information passing enables only a uni-directional information flow, as opposed to instance-optimal algorithms, such as Yannakakis'. On the other hand, the latter require an additional pass over the input, which hinders adoption in production systems. In this paper, we make a step towards enabling single-pass b…
