PREFACE

The Bulletin is intended to serve two main purposes:

(1) to provide prospective students of the aerospace engineering sciences, both undergraduate and postgraduate, with information concern-ing the programs offered at the University of Toronto. This information should be of value to guidance counsellors as well. In this 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.

L THE INSTITUTE FOR AEROSPACE STUDIES

The University of Toronto has been associated with aeronautics from its very beginnings. The first flight by a Canadian (1908) and the 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 repu-tation who had recently joined the Toronto staff, initiated the idea of the Institute and was instrumental 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 the Aerospace Engineering Sciences, and a student body of high calibre. lts staff and graduates have made many import-ant contributions, and have achieved international recognition.

Organizationally, the Institute is a division of the Faculty of Applied Science andEngineering. lts staff constitutes a teaching department within the Faculty at the undergraduate level, and at the same time, forms the Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences of the School of Graduate

-Studies. At the graduate level research is the keynote of the Institute's activi-tie·s. Each Ph. D. student and most M. A. Sc. students carry out original re -:search for their theses. The individual research projects are parts of an

integrated pattern of research within the field of interest of the research sup'ervisor. 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 fellows. This financial support is a key factor in the successful operation of the Institute as a

Graduate School.

In 1964 the Institute of Aerophysics completed over a decade of progress in teaching and research. In order to keep pace with modern develop -. ments and the need and extent of advanced education, its horizons were enlarg

-ed. To give expression to this new outlook, its name was changed to the Institute for Aerospace Studies.

A generous grant from the Ford Foundation has made it possible to double the laboratory space by extending the size of the present building. The new space will make it possible to enlarge our activities in the areas of plasma physics, gas -surface interactions, hypervelocity reentry and impact,

aerosonics, flight simulation, and materials, structures and fatigue. The funds have also enabled us to relocate the 40 ft. dia. sphere and other equipment from the Downsivew airport site. The sphere will provide the driving potential for a blowdown type magnetogasdynamic power generation facility and thereby open a new area of research.

In order to keep pace with the above developments plans have been made to double the size of the staff and student body. lt is expected that in the 1970's we will have about one hundred students. In this regard the Senior

4. DEGREE PROGRAMS IN THE AEROSPACE ENGINEERING SCIENCES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTOt

A five year program of study has been designed to pre pare students for a career in Aerospace Engineering. The first four years are at the undergraduate level and provide the requisite training in the funda-mental and engineering sciences. The fifth year provides more specialized

training at the graduate level. The staff of the Institute for Aerospace

Studies undertakes the teaching of the specialized topics related to Aero-space Engineering at both levels.

Suitably qualified students in engineering, mathematics, or science who have done their undergraduate work at another University, or in another course at the University of Toronto, may enter the program at

the graduate level (see (ii) below).

(i) Undergraduate (B. A. Sc. ) Course - The student enrolls in the Engineering Science Course of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering and at the third year elects the Aerospace option (5a) of that course. The subjects taken in the final two years of this option are:

Third Year Advanced Mechanics* Differential Equations Electronics

Physics Laboratory

Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics

Theory of Functions

Mechanics of Solids and StructuresY.' Fluid Mechanics*

Physics of Metals and one of

Modern World History Politie al Science

Fourth Year Aerodynamics*

Atomie Physics Engineering Design*

Mechanics of Solids and Structures>:< Plasmadynamics* Differential Equations of Mathematical Physics Gasdynamics* Transport Phenomena* English Philosophy of Science Thesis

Lecture and laboratory instruction during the four undergraduate years are given mainly at the University campus. During the two final (option) years, the Drafting/Design room and the Fluid Mechanics laboratory in the Galbraith Building serve as "headquarters" for students in this option. Occasionally, fourth year laboratory classes are given at the Institute for Aerospace Studies in order to take advantage of the specialized experimental

equipment available there.

On the successful completion of the four year course the student receives the degree of B. A. Sc. in Engineering Science.

* Courses given by the UTIAS staff.

(ii) M. A. Sc. Course - The student continues his five year program of

studies at the Institute for Aerospace Studies by enrolling in the Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences, School of Graduate Studies, as a candi-date for the degree of M. A. Sc. in Aerospace Engineering. In this final year of the five -year program the student is normally required to complete a thesis based on research or development, and to take at least two courses selected from those listed below. Additional courses offered outside the department mayalso be taken subject to the approval of the departments con-cerned. Alternatively, a student may elect to substitute a combination of lectures and a design project for a research thesis. (In this case, the stu-dent is not eligible for a UTIAS research assistantship. It should also be noted that since this is not a research program, additional prerequisites would be required to take the Ph. D. degree.)

Qualified students with backgrounds in other branches of

Engineering, or in Mathematics or Science, are invited to apply for admission to the course at this stage. Individual programs of study will be arranged to make up prerequisites. Such students may need two academic sessions to complete the requirements for the M. A. Sc. degree.

(iii) Ph. D. Course - Students who have shown a marked ability for inde

-pendent research may be accepted as candidates for the Ph. D. degree. A candidate is normaUy required to take three subjects - a major subject (in his field of research) and two minor subjects, one of which must be taken

from another department (Physics or Applied Mathematics, for example).

These are usuaUy taken over a period of two years. The candidate is then required to present a thesis ernbopying the results of an original, independ-ent investigation on an approved topic selected from the general areas list-ed in Section 3. His work must be supervislist-ed by at least one member of the

staff. The course work and the thesis research are done concurrently.

Advanced Courses

The foUowing advanced courses are offered as Ph. D. major

subjects: 2001 2002 2003 2004 2101 2102 2103

A Ph. D. candidate is required to write a set of six general

ex-aminations in the field of aerospace engineering sciences 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 beginn

-ing of the first year and the balance at the beginn-ing of the second year. How

-ever, candidates are encouraged to complete their examinations at the beg

inn-ing of their first year, in order that they may concentrate subsequently on

their research program. A candidate is perrnitted to continue with his Ph. D.

program only if he has passed the general examinations. A candidate is e

x-pected to complete his Ph. D. work in two to three years after obtaining his

Master's degree. Further details can be found in the Calendar of the School

of Graduate Studies.

The foUowing outline of the Ph. D. general examinations is re

-produced for the guidance of Ph. D. candidates. The examinations wiU be held on Nov. 1, 2 and 3, 1965, and wi11 consist of six written papers of two-hour duration, based on the material of the prescribed references noted be-low. The pass mark is 60 percent on each paper and an average of 68% on the six papers. Nine papers are listed. The two papers in Gasdynamics (8)

Ph. D. aral Examinations

In addition to the above general examinations, Ph. D. candidates are required to take three oral examinations as follows:

1. Departmental Thesis Review - not later than one year following re-gistration for the Ph. D. The purpose of this examination is to assess the candidate's aptitude for research and to ensure that he has a good research problem. He will be expected to demonstrate basic understanding and com-petence in his: research field and to have made enough progress on his pro-blem to show research capability. The examination will usually be conduct-ed with some of the final Ph. D. comm ittee members from other departments being present.

2. Departmental aral Examination - as soon as the candidate' s thesis research appears to be completed, and subject to the approval of the staff supervisor. The purpose of this examination is to ensure that the work has been carried to a satisfactory conclusion and th at it will be accepted by the Department. If not, the candidate is requested to meet whatever additional requirements the Committee may stipulate.

3. Seminar and Final Ph. D. aral Examination - The candidate will de-fend his thesis (provided that it has been recommended as acceptable by three appraisers, two of whom must be outside of the Department) before the

Committee in Charge of the School of Graduate Studies. The presentation will be conducted along the lines of a sciéntific meeting where the candidate is expected to give a lucid presentation of his work limited to about half an hour, followed by a question period. Preceding the finaloral by a few days, the candidate shall present his thesis as a UTIAS Seminar followed by a similar question period.

NASA Summer Institute: ASurnmer Institute on Space Studies offering a 5 week course was held in July and August 1964 at Columbia Uni-versity in New York. The course, sponsored by NASA, was conducted by Dr. R. H. Jastrow from the Institute of Space Studies at Goddard Space Flight Centre with the purpose of interesting students in space physics.

Two options were offered th is year for the first time. Stu-dents attended a common lecture in the morning in space physics with em-phasis on planetary atmospheres and energy transport. Each afternoon, those with Engineering backgrounds attended a lecture in Space Engineering inc1uding Fluid Mechanics, Communications, and Guidance and Control while the others attended another lecture in Space Physics.

One student from the University of Toronto, Mr. J. 1.

Macpherson from the third year Aerospace Engineering, was selected to attend the Summer Institute, along with 90 others from 9 countries.

Stu-dents participated in a 4 day field trip via ~C -7 to Marshall Space Flight

Centre, Huntsville, Alabama; Cape Kennedy, Florida; Goddard Space Flight Centre, Maryland; NASA Headquarters in Washington; and Langley Research Centre, Virgina.

Mr. Macpherson stood third in the Engineering Option with

an A average .

Annual Spring Banquet: On Saturday, April 4, Dr. and Mrs.

PattersoI}.; were hosts of a dinner and dance at the Bayview Country Club

for all Institute personnel. A committee (Kurt Graf, Peter Hughes, Jean Mackworth, and Dave Surry) used the solar system as a theme for decora-tions over the dining area, and filled the space above the dance floor with balloons. The evening was such a success that it was decided to make the banquet an annual affair.

Annual Christmas Party: As in past years, a Christmas party was organized by Mrs. Patterson for the staff, students and their

families at UTIAS. Af ter several short films, the children (and most of

the adults) were held spell-bound by the talents of a magician. Gifts were distributed to the children, and refreshments enjoyed by all.

11. INSTITUTE ACTIVITIES

Î

On July 14-17, tl1e Institute for Aerospace Studies was host to the Fourth International Symposium on Rarefied Gas Dynamics. The symposium is held biennially, Nice, Berkeley and Paris being the previous sites. This year, over 300 scientists from many countries attended, includ -ing for the first time a ftussian - Academician Sedov. They met to report and discuss progress in the various aspects 9f aerospace research involving rarefied gases - transition flow, surface interactions, kinetic theory, mo -lecular beams, rarefied plasmas. and related experimental topics.

The symposium was jointly sponsored by AFOSR. NASA. ONR and the University of Toronto,' and took place at the Royal York Hotel. Dean McLaughlin presented the opening address. and Dr. G. N. Patterson was the symposium chairman.

Over 70 papers were pre:sented, from 15 to 30 minutes in length. each followed by discussion. Double sessions were necessary on Thursday and Friday morning. Papers were presented on work at the Institute by Prof. J. H. deLeeuw, Prof. J. B. French, D. J . Marsden.

J. Laframboise, D. R. O'Keefe. S. A. Gordon, P. C. Hughes. S. J. Townsend, Prof. G. N. Patterson and S. R. M. Sinclair. The symposium proceeqings will be published in two volumes, edited by Prof. J. H. deLeeuw.

Highlights of the non-technical program included the symposium dinner at the Seagram's Tower, Niagara Falls. and a visit to Stratford on the Friday evening to see Shakespeare's King Richard Il. A program for the wives of the attendees to get acquainted and to visit places of interest in Toronto was also organized, with the wives of the Institute staff assisting.

To coincidf= with the symposium, the Institute, working in conjunction with the Royal Ontario Museum, sponsored an Aerospace Exhi -bition open to the public through the summer months at the Museum. This exhibition was opened officially by the President on June 29. Staff members at the Institute developed exhibits to explain facets of their research to the non-technical public, with emphasis placed on working or audience-partic i-pation experiments. Contributions to the exhibition were obtained from De

-fence Research Telecommunications Establishment (DRTE), Canadian Bristol Aerojet, NRC, DeHavilland and NASA (who also provided a model of the Mercury Space craft and a mannequin in full space garb).

At frequent intervals during the year, the Institute offers guided tours of its facilities to various university groups and to visiting groups from public organizations and professional societies. The tour is preceded by an informative illustrat'ed lecture by the Director of the Institute, Prof. G. N. Patterson, designed to familiarize the group with some aspects of aerospace research in Canada. During the tour, smal! informal groups are guided about the laboratory and are able to ask questions at first hand of those students who carry out research work. At the conc1usion of the

1954, and later became Assistant Professor and continued in active

re-search in addition to lecturing. He authored various reports on shock-tube flow and blast-wave phenomena during 1954 to 1958. In particular, he contributed to the section of the Handbook of Supersonic Aerodynamics:, edited by Johns Hopkins University, dealing with shock-tube flows.

In 1958 he joined the staff of the Aerodynamic Research De-partment of the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, Inc., and in 1961 became the Assistant Department Head. While at the Cornell Aeronautical Labora-tory he actively participated in developing the shock tunnel into a success-ful hypersonic research tooI. In addition his research program relating to flat-plate flows at high Mach numbers proved to be an outstanding con-tribution.

The theoretical and experimental program on nonequilibrium expansion flows at Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory has benefited much from the leadership of Dr. Hall. Vnder his guidance the first solutions to ex-panding nozzle flows involving complex chemistry were obtained. His work has been supplemented by an active experimental program. In addition, Dr. Hall contributed to the development of nonequilibrium sealing laws which resulted from the information obtained in these programs.

While this résum{ is very brief, it is indicative of the leader-ship in research which has characterized his career.

He married the former Erla Inez Holmes of Ottawa in 1950. They have two children, ages 7 and 10, and presently are residing at 55 Deepwood Drive, East Aurora, New York.
