PHYSICS COLLOQUIUM IS DEC. 5

Alan Garscadden of the Wright-Patterson Air Force Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio, will discuss Air Force propulsion research during a department of physics' colloquium at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 5, in room 200 of the Oceanography and Physics Building.

The Air Force's research and development programs on propulsion are centered around two large development programs for turbines and rockets. However there are many allied efforts such as ignition, thermal management and electrical propulsion that relate to fuels and often involve plasma interactions.

Refreshments will be served in the atrium at 4 p.m. More information is available at http://www.physics.odu.edu/.
