To reach the end user, oil and gas production at the wellhead must be transmitted through the country and distributed to a wide range of customers. This logisticalsystem requires natural gas gathering lines, processing facilities,product storage tanks and Jots of other equipment. What results is air pollution caused by industry losses during these operations and the use of continuous or intermitte ...

Accurate prediction heat transfer in gas turbine components subject to cooling requires high fidelity modeling of heat transfer in the presence of high Reynolds number turbulent flow. The cooling internal to the blades results in sustained temperature gradients within the structural parts, from low temperature in the interior of the structure to increasingly higher temperature closer to the surfac ...

The Naval Air Technical Data and Engineering Service Center (NATEC) maintains extensive, separate data sets for logistics and engineering in multiple formats which would be more valuable if the data could be integrated and shared to a greater degree.AVNIK Defense Solutions, Inc. proposes, with our subcontract team members Instrumental Sciences, Inc. (ISI) and Engenix, a Concurrent Engineering Logi ...

The requirements for thermal management on tactical aircraft systems have reached a level at which integrated system design must be considered early in the aircraft design process. An integrated propulsion, power and thermal modeling and simulation design approach is necessary for reduced size, weight and power requirements. At the same time, there is an urgent need for capabilities that enable an ...

Current mission planning systems allow strike planners and operations centers to perform time-sensitive strike planning, execution monitoring, and validate mission effects using XML-based tools that visualize time critical attack plan and track plan status vs. execution. In this proposed STTR Phase I design for the Next Generation Navy Mission Planning (NGNMPS) system, we will identify expanded op ...

The overall goal of the project is to develop a mathematically rigorous multi-fidelity surrogate modeling (MFSM) and data analytics tool to fuse data from sources of varying facility (computations and flight tests) for accurate aircraft structural buffet load prediction. The salient aspects of the proposed solution are: (1) an adaptive framework to systematically tackle fusion and consolidation of ...

This effort will develop and demonstrate methods for remotely assessing the status of electrical grids based on the illumination from lights powered by those grids. It will lead to the development of low-cost sensors which can be passively assess grid health over a large scale. This effort will assess grid health by exploiting recent advances in high-spatial, high-temporal resolution imaging and t ...

Cross Deck Pendants (CDP) used to recover aircraft onboard aircraft carriers are exposed to a challenging environment of physical impact, abrasion, and strain which limit life expectancy to approximately 125 arrestment cycles. Three primary effects are known to contribute to CDP failure including tail hook impact, hook slip, and final bending around the hook, although the precise contributions of ...

Our innovative 3D Motion Analysis technology allows for fast and efficient screening of running technique in military personnel that has previously not been available to this scale. We propose providing education and training on our portable 3D Motion Analysis technology to military personnel to explore new ways to utilize this technology. The education and training will focus on ways to identify ...

The seeds of failures of Defense projects can often be traced back to poor quality requirements and a lack of portfolio level coherence between associated projects. Because projects have become so complex, 100% paper-based methods are no longer suitable for requirements management. In June 2018, the DoD released its Digital Engineering Strategy which calls on the services to “move the primar ...
