Advanced CFD Capability for Store Separation

"The work will identify the most promising long-term approach to upgrading the CFDmodeling of store separation for Air Force flight vehicles. Two likely optionsare identified in the Phase I proposal, and the relative merits of these methodswill be studied in depth in the Phase I work. Both concepts use dynamic oversetgridding; the algorithms needed for the overset interpolation will be producedand evaluated in the effort. CFD for complex dynamical problems remains a serious technical challenge in manyfields, including weapons systems, explosive problems, and rotorcraft, for example.The proposed methods will yield significant benefits to the state-of-the-artin simulating these problems. The algorithms and software developed in thiswork can be licensed to organizations performing research in these areas"
