The Interdisciplinary Consulting Corporation (IC2), in partnership with the University of Florida (UF) and Innoveering, LLC, proposes to develop an innovative precision micro-scale surface-mountable sensor for measuring local wall shear stress in [a] high speed flow field (approximately 0.8 < M < 5) to enable characterization of critical boundary layer flows in ground and flight tests in response ...

ABSTRACT: Global Engineering and Materials, Inc. (GEM) along with Columbia University propose to develop a simulation tool for modeling mixing process of multi-particle composite systems and generating the ultimate microstructure. A combined theoretical, numerical, and experimental approach will be developed to create a high fidelity software product with a reduced order modeling capability for an ...

Structural energetic materials or multifunctional energetic materials offer the ability to combine the high energy release rates of traditionalhigh explosives with structural strength. When successfully formulated therefore they can lead to light-weight, high-performance and hithertoinaccessible designs of munitions. The key feature of structural energetic materials (SEMs), perhaps even more so th ...

Current scene projection hardware is challenged to simultaneously meet the requirements for high peak temperature (> 2000K), high resolution (2Kx2K), response time < 4 ms, cryogenic and temporally uniform photon flux. MEMS, Resistor arrays, liquid cr...

An experiment to obtain validation data on the transient aerothermoelastic response of a curved panel in hypersonic flows will be designed and evaluated for its feasibility. Significant challenges must be overcome for a successful experimental campaign i...

The Air Force is interested in developing technology that would enable long duration hypersonic flight with reusable aircraft. Hypersonic flow presents many design challenges that can be encapsulated into an aerothermoelastic problem, i.e., a complex dyn...

Kalos Technologies Inc. (Kalos) and Temple University submit together this STTR Phase I proposal entitled Securing the Internet of Things in Tactical Environments to the Air Force in response to solicitation topic AF16-AT10: Securing the Internet of Things. It is the Kalos and Temples effort in the development of hardware-based security, embedded system security, secure communication, and secure I ...

The US Air Force requires quantitative spatially and temporally resolved measurements of key rate-controlling intermediate species in reacting flows at elevated pressures for Air Force advanced propulsion systems. Such information is critically needed fo...

The objectives of this research effort (combined Phase-I and Phase-II) are to experimentally derive the scaling laws up to 30 bar for key combustion species and temperature for reactions involving various hydrocarbon fuels in such a way so that the measu...

Next-generation turbulent combustion models must enable accurate prediction of lean blow-out and flashback for complex geometries, fuels and operating conditions relevant to the Air Force. Improved models are needed to better predict kinetically and hydr...
