The Numerical Propulsion System Simulation: A Multidisciplinary Design System for Aerospace Vehicles

摘要: Advances in computational technology and physics-based modeling are making large scale, detailed simulations of complex systems possible within the design environment. For example, integration computing, communications, aerodynamics has reduced time required to analyze ma or propulsion system components from days weeks minutes hours. This breakthrough enabled simulation major become a routine part process provide designer with critical information about early process. paper describes development Numerical Propulsion System Simulation (NPSS), multidisciplinary analysis tools that is focussed on extending capability full system. will product developer "virtual wind tunnel" reduce number hardware builds tests during advanced aerospace systems.
