Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the submission of a novel nosecone geometry for research and potential application in aerodynamics. The user expresses a desire for a knowledgeable expert to evaluate and develop their idea, which is distinct from existing geometries like parabolic or ogive shapes. They emphasize the importance of professional appraisal and research to validate the concept. However, there is a cautionary note regarding the frequency of non-expert submissions and the skepticism experts may have towards unsolicited ideas. Ultimately, the user seeks acknowledgment if their concept proves viable.

And how do I go about submitting a proposal of a new type of nosecone geometry I'm pretty sure has not been considered so far so that someone else may study it, test it, appraise it and write a paper on it?

I just want someone more knowledgeable and smarter than myself (an complete layman in aerodynamics) to pick up the kernel of the idea and do some professional, in depth research to develop it to a state where it becomes employed technology.

I just want a footnote mention somewhere if it all pans out. :)

My nosecone geometry is NOT parabolic.

And NOT ogive, secant, ogive, conical, hemispherical or elliptical, power series, Haack series, Von Kármán, Aerospike or any combination thereof.

Chances are still good it has been considered (multiple times) and discarded.
You can find experts and send them a mail. Be aware of their view, however: experts often get various "ideas" from non-experts and most of them are completely worthless. Most ideas of experts are not good as well, but experts check their ideas (and know how to check them) before they share them.
 

Thread 'What mathematics software should engineering students use?'

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
