Application of Advanced Laser Diagnostics to High Impact Technologies. Delivery Order 0001: Laser Diagnostics Applications

摘要

The technical effort for this program was divided into six major tasks, covering advanced diagnostic techniques, modeling and simulations, fundamental combustion research, high-impact-technology component studies, advanced-propulsion-system concept studies, and advanced-concept high-impact- technology demonstrations. The objectives of this ambitious program were to: Develop and apply advanced diagnostic techniques to the investigation of advanced-concept technologies for future-generation propulsion systems. Develop and apply advanced computational-fluid-dynamics (CFD)-based simulations and models to the investigation of advanced-concept technologies for future- generation propulsion systems. Utilize advanced diagnostics and models to design and conduct fundamental experiments that will provide a database for evaluation and application of advanced-concept technologies for future- generation propulsion systems. Identify, evaluate, and apply high-impact technologies that have the potential to reduce cost, improve performance, and reduce emissions in future-generation propulsion systems. Identify, evaluate, and apply advanced-propulsion-system cycles that will result in high-impact, revolutionary technologies for future-generation propulsion systems. Demonstrate the advanced technologies in small-engine tests and innovative low- cost flight tests. The research conducted during the program resulted in more than 325 publications and presentations.
