Transient Acoustic Environment Prediction Tool for Launch Vehicles in Motion during Early Lift-Off
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: T102Launch vehicles experience extreme acoustic loads dominated by rocket exhaust plume interactions with ground structures during lift-off, which can produce damaging vibro-acoustic loads on the vehicle and payloads if not properly understood and mitigated against. Existing capabilities for modeling the turbulent plume physics during early lift-off are too dissipative to accurately resolve the propag ...

Multiphase Modeling of Solid Rocket Motor Internal Environment
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: T102Solid rocket motor (SRM) design requires thorough understanding of the slag accumulation process in order to: predict thrust continuity, optimize propellant conversion efficiency, predict coning effects from sloshing, and assess potential orbital debris (slag) hazard. Current state-of-the-art models for SRM environment do not have the capability to simulate the accumulation and dynamics of slag in ...

Multiphysics Framework for Prediction of Dynamic Instability in Liquid Rocket Engines
SBC: ATA ENGINEERING, INC. Topic: T102Mitigation of dynamic combustion instability is one of the most difficult engineering challenges facing NASA and industry in the development of new continuous-flow combustion systems such as the combustion chambers in liquid-fueled rocket engines (LREs). Combustion instabilities are spontaneous, self-sustaining oscillations that tie the combustor acoustics to the combustion reaction itself. These ...

Regolith to Steel Powder, Oxygen & Water with Small Equipment
SBC: Olsen, Rolf M Topic: T402This proposal covers processing of raw Martian regolith to both an enriched iron ore and liberated water, and also iron ore reduction and oxygen production, metal purification and steel powder making. Our proposal uses heat re-cycling to improve the energy efficiency of both regolith-to-ore enrichment and iron ore reduction. This heat re-cycling creates a bonus, the liberation of water (formerly b ...
