ABSTRACT: High-performance computing (HPC) programmers and domain experts, such as those in the Air Force's research divisions, develop solvers for a wide variety of application areas such as modeling next generation aircraft and weapons designs and advanced image processing analysis. When developing software for HPC systems, the programmer should not spend the majority of their time optimiz ...

Applied Physical Sciences Corp. (APS) proposes the Phase II development of an Acoustic Intensity Localization System (AILS). AILS utilizes a vector hydrophone to measure the latitude-longitude offset to an acoustic projector attached to surface buoy whose position is known via GPS. A major advantage of the AILS concept is that it can operate with extreme precision even at relatively low frequenc ...

The objective of the efforts being proposed is to develop high energy density and power density batteries with long cycle life by high-speed additive manufacturing technologies.

The objective of Phase II is to develop the AM process investigated in Phase I to fabricate optical components. The resulting optical components will be evaluated in terms of geometrical, mechanical, microstructural and optical properties to validate the effectiveness of the developed process. The objectives of the Phase II Base are to: 1. Naval optical component design, selection of material tail ...

Storagenergy proposes a novel methodology that allows for the 3D printing of different thermally cured thermosets in a fast and precise additive manufacturing process. The proposed approach has several advantages over other technologies for additive manufacturing of thermoset polymers including (1) High feature resolution and structure complexity (2) Fast fabrication speed (3) No post therma ...

A battery is proposed that utilizes a Li+ conducting, solid-electrolyte separator, LiSICON, Li metal anode and high-capacity cathode. The LiSICON ceramic is fabricated using state of the art tape casting methods which allows composite structures of porous and dense layers ~100ƒÝm thick. The layered structure increase mechanical strength and decrease interfacial and bulk resistances. The high-ene ...

The Air Force and other government and private entities must safely dispose of Aqueous Film-Forming Foam Waste (AFFF).The waste is problematic due to a high fluorine content.The thermal decomposition of AFFF by supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) was accomplished in a continuous flow reactor during Phase I demonstrating >99% AFFF conversion efficiency.Phase II will build on the bench-scale work b ...

ABSTRACT: The objective of the Phase II effort is to extend the mathematical model investigated in the Phase I to include wind speed as well as temperature modeling, continue its development for a University of Notre Dame Wind Tunnel Facility, and demonstrate utility by adopting the model to a government facility specified by AFOSR. Specifically, the Phase II will include developmental work in ma ...

The objective of the proposed Phase II STTR effort is to develop a validated computational tool to predict the afterburning of non-ideal munitions containing metal and hydrocarbon fuels. The activities outlined devise a well-coordinated collaboration among researchers from Reaction Engineering International (REI) and the State University of New York at Buffalo (UB). The activities proposed will bu ...
