PREF ACE

The Bulletin is intended to serve two main purposes:

(1) to provide prospective students of the science and engineering of aeronautics and astronautics, and of plasmadynamics, both undergraduate and postgraduate, with information concerning the programs offered at the University of Toronto in these subjects. This information should be of value to guidance counsellors as well. In th is connection, the Bulletin should be read jointly with the relevant University Calendar, i. e. that of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering (undergraduate), or that of the School of Graduate Studies (postgraduate).

(2) to serve as a yearbook for the staff and students of the Institute, containing a record of the various activities of interest, and of the student body past and present.

1. THE INSTITUTE OF AEROPHYSIC S

The University of Toronto has been associated with aeronautics from its very beginnings. The first flight by a Canadian (1908) and ihe first flight in Canada (1909) were both made by graduates of this university. The first aerodynamics laboratory in Canada was established here in 1918 and the first course in aeronautical engineering in 1928. Thirty years of aeronautical activity in the university culminated in 1949 with the founding of the Institute of Aerophysics. Dr. Gordon N. Patterson, a scientist of international reputa-tion who had recently joined the Toronto staff, initiated the idea of the Institute and was instr~mental in securing its establishment. He became its first director, a position which he still holds. The institute soon acquired an outstanding staff of specialists in Aeronautical Engineering and Aerophysics, and a student body of high calibre. lts staff and graduates have made many important contributions, and have achieved international recognition.

Organizationally the Institute is a division of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. lts staff constitutes a teaching department within the Facultyat the undergraduate level, and at the same time, forms the Department of Aeronautical Engineering and Aerophysics of the School of Graduate Studies. At the graduate level, research is the keynote of the Institute' s activities. Each graduate student carries out original research for his thesis. The individu al research projects are parts of an integrated pattern of research within the field of interest of the research supervisor. The research not only supplies the material for theses, but by virtue of its intrinsic value, attracts to the Institute funds for its support which permit the employment of students as research assistants. This financial support is a key factor in the successful operation of the Institute as a Graduate School.

3. FACILITIES.AND RESEARCH

The sites occupied by the Institute of Aerophysics are shown on the frontispiece. The new site (Dufferin St. ) consists of approximately 20 acres and presently has one building as shown on Fig. 1. The old site is on the RCAF Downsview Airport and appears in Fig. 2. In the new Galbraith Building (engineering), on the main Campus, the Institute of Aerophysics has a design and drafting laboratory, a fluid mechanics laboratory, and other space in connection with undergraduate instruction as shown on Fig. 3.

During the past year, an extension was added at the South- West corner of the new building on the Dufferin St. site. This made it possible to move some of the equipment from Downsview to Dufferin St. The facilities moved were the UTIA dynamic track, the hypervelocity launcher, and the aerosonics laboratory .

(~i~) Ph. D. Course - Studenis who have shown a marked ability for independent research may be accepted as candidates for the Ph. D. degree. A.candidate is normally required to take three subjects - a major subject (in his field of re

-search) and two minor subjects, one of which must be taken from another de-partment (physics or applied mathematics, for example). These are usually taken over a period of two years. The candidate is then required to present a thesis embodying the results of an original, independent, investigation on an approved topic selected from the general areas listed in Section 3. His work must be supervised by at least one member of the staff. The course work and the thesis research are done simultaneously.

A Ph. D. candidate is required to write a set of six general examinations in the field of aeronautics/ astronautics based on prescribed texts as outlined below. The examinations may be taken at the beginning of the first year but not later than the beginning of the second year. To assist the candidates, at least three of the examinations may be taken at the beginning of the first year and the balance at the beginning of the second year. However, candidates are encouraged to complete their examinations at the beginning of their first year, in order that they may concentrate subsequently on their research program. A candidate is only permitted to continue with his Ph. D. program if he has passed the general examinations. A candidate is expected to complete his Ph. D. work in two to three years af ter obtaining his Master's degree. Further details can be found in the Calendar of the School of Graduate Studies.

The following outline of the Ph. D. general examinations is re-produced for the guidance of Ph. D. candidates. The examinations will be held on the 4, 5, and 6, Nov., 1963, and will consist of six written papers of two -hour duration, based on the material of the prescribed references noted below. The pass mark is 60 percent on each paper.

12. IAS-CASI FIRST INTERNAT IONAL STUDENT CdNFERENCE

The First International Student Conference sponsored jointly by the Institute of the Aerospace Sciences and the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute took place on 4 and 5 May at the University of Toronto, Institute of Aerophysics. The conference was financially supported by the Minta Martin Aeronautical Student Fund of the Institute of the Aerospace Sciences, by the Canadian Aeronautical and Space Institute, and by the Institute of Aerophysics. In the spirit of past conferences, applied now internationally rather than nationally, this conference in Canada afforded a golden opportunity for neighbours on both sides of the border to become better acquainted and to take part in informal discussions. Indeed, friendliness and

cooperation were a basic theme. The messages of the presidents of the lAS and the CASI and the opening address by the Director of the Institute of Aero-physics bore this out.

The basic regulations enforced in previous years were adhered to. Prizes were awarded for three best papers in each of three categories and also for the best oral presentation. One category was open to under-graduate students (candidates for Bachelor's degrees).

The best paper in the Bachelor Division was "Inelastic Behaviour of a Hollow Sphere" by Mr. J. Bentson, polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn.

The first place paper in the Master Division was "Some Pertur-bation Solutions in Laminar Boundary_ Layer Theory" by Mr. H. Fox,

Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn.

The first award in the Doctor Division was for Stability of a Laminar Flame" by Mr. J. Y. Parlange, Brown University.

Two tied for the best oral award. They were Mr. J. Bentson, Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, and Mr. S. L. Quick, Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn.

Although the conference may have appeared to be basically a competition, those participating had an opportunity to develop professionally by exposing themselves to audiences when presenting papers and to new ideas and techniques presented by others. Those not presenting papers profited greatly by asking about some of the subieties and difficult parts of the papers. No one should have returned home without having gained something worth-while.

Judging from the comments of the delegates and their faculty advisors, a great deal of the credit for success of this conference belongs to Prof. E. D. Poppleton, presently with the University of Sydney, Australia. Without his guidance and support, the conference simply would not have been possible.

Everyone.continued the discussion of alL the technical

pre-sentations during the luncheon, social hour J and banquet. This was gratifying

to see, especially in the light of the thoughts expressed by Mr. C. Tilgner,

Vice-President, 1. A. S. -during his talk about the "The First Five Years of

Your Career"'. Here, true professionallsm and a driving curiosity were stressed.

The banquet proved to be in a lighter vein. Mr. R. D. Hiscocks, Chief Engineer, DeHavilland Aircraft of Canada, presented an interesting and

entertaining talk about the "The Origin of the Caribou". It was after Mr.

Hiscock's talk that the awards were presented.

The conference was attended by over 80 delegates from various universities in the north-eastern region of the United States, and Ontario

and Quebec in Canada. The program of the Conference is reproduced below,

giving the speakers and titles of all contributions.

15. PROFILES - PH.D. CLASSOF 1951

The Ph. D. class of 1951 was the second group to graduate from

UTIA, and consisted of Dr. G. V. Bull, Dr. P. Mandl and Dr.C. 1. H. Nicholl.

These graduates have made many important contributions to aeronautics, astronautics and aerophysics, as noted in the following biographical sketches, and they occupy outstanding positions in the Canadian scientific community.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH of

Dr. Gerald Vincent Bull

Dr. Gerald V. Bull holds a chair at McGill University as Pro-fessor of Engineering Sciences. He joined the McGill staff in 1961 af ter re-linquishing his post at CARDE where he was Superintendent of the Aero-Physics Wing. After achieving a most notable academie record in the Aeronautical Engineering course at the University of Toronto, he gained his doctorate at the Institute of Aerophysics in 1951, being then only twenty-three years of age. During the last year of his studies, he acted as a consultant for CARDE on the aerodynamic aspects of the air-to-air guided missile programme, and upon graduation, joined CARDE as a permanent staff member and head of the Aero-dynamics Section.

His early work at CARDE involved the aerodynamics of the missile and the building up of laboratory testing facilities. The development of aero-ballistic range techniques for the gathering of stability data was a large part of this work.

In 1957, Dr. Bull was appointed Section Head, Aero-Physics Wing, covering both the scientific and engineering programmes.

At CARDE his research activities were centred on supersonic

aerodynarnics, development of range firing techniques, and hypersonic re

-entry physics. A gifted lecturer, he was honoured in being selected to deliver one of the scientific lectures at the opening ceremonies of the Galbraith Build-ing, Faculty of Applied Science and EngineerBuild-ing, University of Toronto, in 1961. From 1954 to 1957 he held a part time teaching post as Professeur Auxiliaire, Charg~ de Cours d'Aé'rodynamique, Université Laval.

In 1957 he made a major lecture tour of four European countries and he has participated in many technical seminars at various research centres in the United States.

Dr. Bull is the author of numerous technical papers and reports and is currently preparing, as joint author, a book on firing range techniques.

An international authority in the field of aero-ballistics, Dr. Bull serves as Scientific Consultant to the Ballistics Research Laboratories, U. S. Army Ordnance; Scientific Advisor to the Department of Defence, U. S. Government; and Mernber, Associate Committee on Aerodynamics, National Research Council of Canada.

His present research activihes at McGill involve the direction of two major programmes. , One is the theoretical and experimental study of the effectiveness of thin bumper plates in protecting space vehicles from meteoroid impact. This work functions as part of the Apollo space vehicle programme. of the National Aeronautics and Space Agency. The other is the development of a versatile high altitude research facility, capable of use in a wide range of aero-space work, which is located at a McGill research station in Barbados.

Dr. Bull is a Canadian, born in North Bay, Ontario. He is married and has four sons. His wife is the former Noemie Gilber of Quebec City. Their home is at Woodland Circle, St. Bruno, P. Q.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH of

Dr. Paul Mandl

-Dr. Paul Mandl was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1917, where

he received his early education. Because of the political conditions prevailing im mediately after 1938, he left Austria and continued his education at the University of Wales (Aberystwyth) and the University of Toronto where he re-ceived his B. A. degree (with first-c1ass honours) in Mathematics and Physics in 1945 and his M. A. degree in 1947.

Under the guidance of Dr. G. N. Patterson, Director of the Institute of Aerophysics, he worked on the problem of "The Transition Through a Weak Shock Front", for which he received the Ph. D. degree in 1951.

Except for the time when he did graduate work at the University of Toronto, he has been with the Aerodynamics Laboratory of the National Research Council, Ottawa, where he is now a Senior Research Officer. His early work was concerned with problems on wind tunnel interference. Being on loan to N. R. C. 's Flight Research Section, he worked on theoretical problems in connection with repeating (rotating) parachutes. He was invited by the

Massachusetts Institute of Technology to lecture at a symposium on parachute technology (1955). As a joint author of a paper on repeating parachutes he received the W. Casey Baldwin award of the Canadian Aeronautical Institute in 1956. In recent years he has written papers on the theory of aerofoils with split flapsJ reflection of blast waves by spherical obstacles J and unsteady flow of heat through wedges. These papers have appeared as N. R. C. publications. Currently he is working on problems of wing-body interaction in hypersonic flow.

In addition to his research work, he has been active as a part-time lecturer at Carleton University. Under the auspices of the McGill Extension Courses J he taught subjects such as Applied Mathematics for Engineers and Physicists and Modern Operational Calcuius. He has just finished giving a graduate course on Three-Dimensional Wing Theory.

Dr. Mandl is a reviewer of papers on compressible flow for the journal "Mathematical Reviews "J and is a member of the C. A. S. I. and the Canadian Mathematical Congress.

Dr. Mandl is married to the former Elsje EsselaanJ of

NymwegenJ the Netherlands. Their home is at 162 Camelia Avenue,J Manor ParkJ Ottawa.

Dr. C. 1. H. Nicholl was born in Winnipeg, Man., on 22 May,

1922. He completed his secondary schooling at Ridley College in St. Catha-rines in 1940, winning two open scholarships to Queen's University, where he enrolled in the Faculty of Applied Science. He completed the Engineering Physics course in this Faculty in 1947, after 3 years out during the war,

when he served as pilot and captain of Lancaster aircraft with 514 Squadron of the Royal Air Force.

After a year with the Aerodynamics Laboratory of the National Research Council, during which he developed a hot-wire anemometer for the measurement of turbulent air flows, he enrolled as a graduate student at the University of Toronto, taking his M. Sc. in Engineering Physics in 1949 and his Ph. D. in Aeronautical Engineering at the Institute of Aerophysics in 1951. Ris principal contribution while at the Institute was the development of a

piezo-electric pressure gauge and diaphragm rupturing mechanisms which made

possible the study of shock wave-rarefaction wave collisions. Af ter graduation

from Toronto he proceeded to Cam bridge University in England on an NRC

Post Doctoral Overseas Fellowship. At Cambridge, he worked fór 3 years in the turbulence group headed by Dr. A. A. Townsend, and wrote ~ secoI1-d

doctoral dissertation on the;effects of density gradients in a turbulent boundary

layer. .

In 1954 he returned to the National Research Council, from which he was seconded in 1956 to Laval University to establish courses and to develop teaching and research facilities in Fluid Mechanics in the Faculty of Science. He is now Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Head of the Aero-dynamics Laboratory at Laval.

Dr. Nicholl serves as a member of the Associate Committee on Aerodynamics of the National Research Council. He is also a member of the C. A. S. 1., the A. S. M. E. and a Senior Member, and member of the Fluid Dynamics Sub-Committee, of the Technical Section of the Canadian Pulp & Paper Association. He is an occasional consultant to the paper and chemical industries. The only recreation for which he can now find time is music.

He is married to the former Margaret Harding, of Port Credit, anq has four children: John, 9, Katherine, 7, Christina, 5, and Sar ah, 1. Their home is at 2527 des HospitaUères, Sillery, P. Q.
