UDRI performs Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling of hypersonic flows in order to better guide the design process. CFD allows iteration and flexibility within a given design space, thus ...

The key to the project is the use of hypersonic sound arrays. These essentially use high-frequency sound beyond the human range of hearing to carry a lower-frequency sound signal. By essentially ...

Chinese scientists have allegedly discovered a major flaw with one of NASA’s main hypersonic aerodynamics modeling software programs. The scientists claim that the Vulcan-CFD software can not ...

He received his Ph.D from the University of Minnesota in 2018. His dissertation work used quantum chemistry data to design reduced-order thermochemical kinetics models for CFD, designed to study the ...

There is a theoretical and experimental collaborative effort underway at CU, which seeks to provide evidence of radio emission from hypersonic objects. Modeling is handled by the NGPDL and is ...

The delivery of the first prototype hypersonic hardware to soldiers of the 5th Battalion, 3rd Field Artillery Regiment, 17th Field Artillery Brigade is completed on Oct. 7, 2021, with a ceremony ...

While CFD provides valuable insights, physical wind tunnel testing validates these digital simulations, ensuring accuracy and reliability. As aerospace projects grow in complexity, including ...

This successful flight of Erinyes™ expanded the vehicle’s performance envelope and demonstrated the utility of the platform as a low-cost, rapidly configurable test bed for hypersonic ...
