It will take some thinking before I can respond intelligently, but I must tell you that some of my inspiration for what I am doing came from hearing about fluidic computers used on B52s to avoid EMP. So, interesting line of thought.
My other inspiration was a paper comparing the effiencies of augmenters in different flow regimes, I need to try and find it. |
