research teams 15 00:01:41,109 --> 00:01:39,040 whose activities are directed towards a 16 00:01:44,469 --> 00:01:41,119 common long-range vision 17 00:01:45,109 --> 00:01:44,479 of a numerical test

00:01:52,840 in turn sets the stage for new levels of 22 00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:55,119 understanding once the scientist or 23 00:01:58,709 --> 00:01:56,960 engineer is satisfied 24 00:02:01,190 --> 00:01:58,719 that the critical physics are being 25 00:02:03,830 --> 00:02:01,200 modeled in the analysis 26 00:02:04,709 --> 00:02:03,840 however confidence in computational 27 00:02:07,429 --> 00:02:04,719 science 28 00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:07,439 can only be achieved by detailed 29 00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:08,560 comparison 30 00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:11,680 with experimental data obtained in test 31 00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:12,480 cells 32 00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:16,560 or wind tunnels one such validation 33 00:02:19,589 --> 00:02:19,200 experiment was performed in the 10 by 10 34 00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:19,599 foot 35 00:02:23,589 --> 00:02:22,640 supersonic wind tunnel at the nasa lewis 36 00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:23,599 research center 37 00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:27,360 in cleveland ohio in this experiment 38 00:02:31,030 --> 00:02:29,440 instrumentation was installed in a 39 00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:31,040 supersonic inlet 40 00:02:35,190 --> 00:02:34,720 designed for mach 5 to provide detailed 41 00:02:38,710 --> 00:02:35,200 data 42 00:02:40,949 --> 00:02:38,720 for code validation a 3d 43 00:02:41,830 --> 00:02:40,959 viscous computer simulation of this 44 00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:41,840 inlet 45 00:02:46,229 --> 00:02:44,640 revealed previously unknown strong 46 00:02:48,830 --> 00:02:46,239 secondary flows 47 00:02:50,070 --> 00:02:48,840 as can be seen from these particle 48 00:02:52,949 --> 00:02:50,080 traces 49 00:02:53,990 --> 00:02:52,959 these secondary flows are formed because 50 00:02:56,390 --> 00:02:54,000 of shock wave 51 00:02:58,149 --> 00:02:56,400 interactions with the turbulent side 52 00:03:01,670 --> 00:02:58,159 wall boundary layers 53 00:03:04,149 --> 00:03:01,680 and they create additional inlet losses 54 00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:04,159 the close coupling between analysis and 55 00:03:08,470 --> 00:03:05,920 the validation experiment 56 00:03:09,509 --> 00:03:08,480 was designed to confirm both the cause 57 00:03:12,309 --> 00:03:09,519 and effect 58 00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:12,319 of these previously unknown secondary 59 00:03:17,190 --> 00:03:14,560 flows 60 00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:17,200 a second important application of 61 00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:19,680 computational fluid dynamics 62 00:03:25,830 --> 00:03:23,360 is to analyze new concepts in propulsion 63 00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:25,840 such as this supersonic fan blade 64 00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:27,680 designed using a 2d 65 00:03:32,149 --> 00:03:31,200 analysis a 3d viscous computer 66 00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:32,159 simulation 67 00:03:36,949 --> 00:03:35,040 predicted blade pressures shown here in 68 00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:36,959 varying colors 69 00:03:41,910 --> 00:03:39,280 the simulation also allowed designers 70 00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:41,920 and engineers to visualize secondary 71 00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:43,200 flow 72 00:03:46,229 --> 00:03:45,360 here particle traces show the passage 73 00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:46,239 vortex 74 00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:48,720 which can be traced to its origin as a 75 00:03:53,910 --> 00:03:50,080 horseshoe vortex 76 00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:53,920 ahead of the blade a third application 77 00:03:58,149 --> 00:03:56,400 of computational fluid dynamics at nasa 78 00:04:00,309 --> 00:03:58,159 lewis research center 79 00:04:01,990 --> 00:04:00,319 lies in the study of interactions which 80 00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:02,000 are difficult to measure 81 00:04:07,990 --> 00:04:05,360 such as this supersonic combustor 82 00:04:10,229 --> 00:04:08,000 the combustion process shown was modeled 83 00:04:12,869 --> 00:04:10,239 as two hydrogen jets 84 00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:12,879 operating at a pressure ratio of eight 85 00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:16,320 and injecting into a rectangular duct 86 00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:18,959 compression waves are generated upstream 87 00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:19,519 of each 88 00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:21,680 jet as can be seen from these color 89 00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:23,360 contours 90 00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:26,000 on the top wall the two jets create an 91 00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:28,560 adverse pressure gradient which causes 92 00:04:31,909 --> 00:04:30,400 the free stream particles to move 93 00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:31,919 outward laterally 94 00:04:38,790 --> 00:04:35,520 as well as downward the jets are bent 95 00:04:40,310 --> 00:04:38,800 by the free stream the second jet 96 00:04:42,390 --> 00:04:40,320 penetrates more deeply 97 00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:42,400 into the free stream flow than the first 98 00:04:47,909 --> 00:04:44,000 jet 99 00:04:51,749 --> 00:04:47,919 mixing of hydrogen 100 00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:51,759 and air and consequently more complete 101 00:04:57,990 --> 00:04:56,160 combustion computational fluid dynamics 102 00:05:00,469 --> 00:04:58,000 is also being used 103 00:05:01,430 --> 00:05:00,479 to study the interaction of the external 104 00:05:04,870 --> 00:05:01,440 environment 105 00:05:08,469 --> 00:05:04,880 with a propulsion system in this example 106 00:05:11,830 --> 00:05:08,479 an under expanded 3d asymmetric nozzle 107 00:05:15,430 --> 00:05:11,840 at a pressure ratio of 10 exhaust 108 00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:15,440 supersonically into quiescent air 109 00:05:21,909 --> 00:05:18,720 nozzle flow expands laterally downstream 110 00:05:22,469 --> 00:05:21,919 of the lower lip compression waves 111 00:05:25,189 --> 00:05:22,479 reflect 112 00:05:26,070 --> 00:05:25,199 off the upper and lower shear layers and 113 00:05:30,550 --> 00:05:26,080 a very thin 114 00:05:35,189

00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:38,400 materials 118 00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:40,560 the study of which can greatly benefit 119 00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:43,680 from computational material science 120 00:05:48,310 --> 00:05:47,440 metals ceramics polymers and composites 121 00:05:51,110 --> 00:05:48,320 of these 122 00:05:52,070 --> 00:05:51,120 are all employed to satisfy the high 123 00:05:55,350 -->

00:06:23,520 made this process involves injecting a 137 00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:24,800 nutrient gas 138 00:06:28,710 --> 00:06:27,600 into a reactor in which the gas then 139 00:06:31,670 --> 00:06:28,720 undergoes several 140 00:06:32,870 --> 00:06:31,680 gas phase chemical reactions as it 141 00:06:36,550 --> 00:06:32,880 passes across 142 00:06:39,510 --> 00:06:36,560 a heated susceptor subsequent surface 143 00:06:43,590 --> 00:06:39,520 reactions deposit the needed materials 144 00:06:46,390 --> 00:06:43,600 in this case silicon on the susceptor 145 00:06:49,830 --> 00:06:46,400 the computer simulation shown includes 146 00:06:52,309 --> 00:06:49,840 the 3d aspects of the reactor 147 00:06:54,710 --> 00:06:52,319 strong natural buoyancy causes 148 00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:54,720 substantial distortions of convecting 149 00:06:58,390 --> 00:06:55,680 fields 150 00:07:00,710 --> 00:06:58,400 shown here as path lines of neutrally 151 00:07:02,469 --> 00:07:00,720 buoyant particles 152 00:07:05,270 --> 00:07:02,479 subsequent distortions in both the 153 00:07:07,950 --> 00:07:05,280 temperature and reacting species fields 154 00:07:09,270 --> 00:07:07,960 are evident resulting in severe 155 00:07:13,110 --> 00:07:09,280 non-uniformities 156 00:07:15,830 --> 00:07:13,120 in coating thickness and structure 157 00:07:17,909 --> 00:07:15,840 additional analyses show an excellent 158 00:07:19,990 --> 00:07:17,919 agreement between the experimental and 159 00:07:21,990 --> 00:07:20,000 numerical deposition rates on the 160 00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:22,000 susceptor 161 00:07:25,670 --> 00:07:24,160 this study shows that computational 162 00:07:28,469 --> 00:07:25,680 material science 163 00:07:29,430 --> 00:07:28,479 can provide

codes 173 00:07:52,550 --> 00:07:51,680 for propulsion systems will require 174 00:07:55,749 --> 00:07:52,560 increases 175 00:07:58,469 --> 00:07:55,759 in computing power that is speed 176 00:08:00,070 --> 00:07:58,479 and memory these advances will have to 177 00:08:01,990 --> 00:08:00,080 be matched by improvements in 178 00:08:04,230 --> 00:08:02,000 computational support 179
