Research abstract
Spectral Sciences, Inc. (SSI), proposes to develop the Enhanced Particle Simulation Toolkit (EPSilon Toolkit) software. The Epsilon Toolkit is a set of consistent, validated, physics-based particle models in a single software-library that can be easily accessed from existing MDA plume signature codes. The primary application will be to improve the modeling capabilities of BMDS propulsion and plume codes for cases including aluminized propellant systems, soot formation, and liquid condensates. Specifically, the EPSilon Toolkit will integrate many of today's state-of-the-art thermodynamic and radiation transport models for heterogeneous particulates, such as soot covered Al2O3 or ice-covered soot, into a single code.
