CORVID TECHNOLOGIES, LLC — Department of Defense STTR Phase I: ABSTRACT: Corvid Technologies, in partnership with Clemson University"s combustion m

Description

ABSTRACT: Corvid Technologies, in partnership with Clemson University"s combustion modeling group, is pleased to offer a physical sub-model evaluation and development plan for turbulent combustion applications relevant to the Air Force. We will leverage the computational resources and combustion modeling expertise from both parties to evaluate the current state of combustion modeling and then transition this effort into the development and implementation of a new model compatible with current Air Force CFD code architectures. The goals of Phase I include a critical evaluation of the current turbulent combustion closure methodologies as well as the initial development of the new model. BENEFIT: The proposal"s goal is to outline the process by which Corvid Technologies will initially evaluate the current state-of-the-art in combustion closure methodologies relevant to Air Force combustion applications and ultimately develop a new combustion model that improves the predictive capabilities of current Air Force CFD codes. This type of model evaluation/development has direct consequences to the overall design process of many military propulsion systems. Corvid will also leverage the model development to become highly competitive in future Air Force and other DoD combustion related proposals.
