LAVA Simulations for the 3rd AIAA CFD High Lift Prediction Workshop with Body Fitted Grids

In response to the 3rd AIAA CFD High Lift Prediction Workshop, the workshop cases were analyzed using Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes flow solvers within the Launch Ascent and Vehicle Aerodynamics (LAVA) solver framework. For the workshop cases the advantages and limitations of both overset-structured an unstructured polyhedral meshes were assessed. The workshop included 3 cases: a 2D airfoil validation case, a mesh convergence study using the High Lift Common Research Model, and a nacelle/pylon integration study using the JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) Standard Model. The 2D airfoil case from the workshop is used to verify the implementation of the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model along with some of its variants within the solver. The High Lift Common Research Model case is used to assess solver performance and accuracy at varying mesh resolutions, as well as identify the minimum mesh fidelity required for LAVA on this class of problem. The JAXA Standard Model case is used to assess the solver's sensitivity to the turbulence model and to compare the structured and unstructured mesh paradigms. These workshop cases have helped establish best practices for high lift flow configurations for the LAVA solver.

Standard Isotherm Fit Information for Dry CO2 on Sorbents for 4-Bed Molecular Sieve

Onboard the ISS, one of the systems tasked with removal of metabolic carbon dioxide (CO2) is a 4-bed molecular sieve (4BMS) system. In order to enable a 4-person mission to succeed, systems for removal of metabolic CO2 must reliably operate for several years while minimizing power, mass, and volume requirements. This minimization can be achieved through system redesign and/or changes to the separation material(s). A material screening process has identified the most reliable sorbent materials for the next 4BMS. Sorbent characterization will provide the information necessary to guide system design by providing inputs for computer simulations.

Fitting a Model to Floating Gate Prompt Charge Loss Test Data for the Samsung 8 Gb SLC NAND Flash Memory

A recent model provides risk estimates for the deprogramming, of initially programmed floating gates, via prompt charge loss produced by an ionizing radiation environment. The environment can be a mixture of electrons, protons, and heavy ions. The model requires several input parameters. Parameters intended to produce conservative risk estimates for the Samsung 8 Gb SLC NAND flash memory are given, subject to some qualifications.
