ACCOMPLISHMENTS

1. Computational Method for Aeroelastic Problem in Turbomachinery Small Business Innovation Research Continuum Dynamics, Inc Ewing, NJ INNOVATION A state-of-the-art nonlinear code for cascades and rotors • ACCOMPLISHMENTS • Developed software to predict turbomachinery flutter. The software was developed into 2-D and 3-D versions • Adopted software to analyze unsteady transport of vapor/liquid mixtures into complex internal flow geometries • Developed aeroelastic and structural modeling technologies for dynamic modeling of helicopter rotor systems • COMMERCIALIZATION • Received $475,500 from New Jersey pharmaceutical companies for adapting the software for inhaler design to deliver medication • Used the 3-D flow code in consulting with Washington Public Power Supply System. Received $96K • The aeroelastic and structural modeling codes have generated $113K in licensing and $270K in contract research support. An additional 56K is expected • GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE APPLICATIONS • Code has application to rotorcraft design and has submarine application • Applicable to sonic boom penetration studies in coastal waters for environmental impact on marine life • Useful to higher order compact algorithm for studying acoustic problems 1988 & 1993 Phase II, NAS3-98024 &NAS3-27631, 6/01 NASA Contact – John M.
