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 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 Note: no official Abstract listing exists of selected NASA Phase II SBIR projects for this year. Hence, this abstract is modified by idi from relevant Phase I data. The specific Phase II work statement and objectives may differ
