Abstract:

     A computational fluid dynamics tool that offers significant
improvements in computational speed for modeling high speed
chemical reacting flows will be developed. Phase I will
demonstrate the capabilities of the CFD techniques for modeling
flows in the Reacting Shear Layer Facility at NASA Lewis Research
Center. The computed results will be compared against the
available data. Based on the results of numerical experiments,
Phase II will develop specifications for the computer program, a
plan for additional required capabilities, and the delivery of the
completed computer program to NASA.

Potential Commercial Application:

Potential Commercial Applications:  A predictive tool that can
model propulsion systems is important to NASA and commercial
aircraft and rocket engine manufacturers. With such predictive
tools, development of new engines will be accomplished more
quickly and economically.
