Development of advanced models and acceleration of Monte Carlo methods for<br />
Title:<br />
simulation of rarefied gas dynamics<br />
The objective of this activity is to improve the DSMC tools for analysis and design of tree molecular and transitional fluid<br />
dynamic phenomena such as oftware plume contamination, plume interaction and heating, vehicle reentry and/or destruction<br />
ATD, satellite environment assessment, and Mems analysis (micro thrusters). The following taks will be done: - Development<br />
and implementation of advanced models for chemistry and relaxation (diatomic and polyatomic gases) that take into account<br />
the quantum nature of internal energy modes and vibration-dissocciation coupling. Verification and validation of developed<br />
models via comparisons with available experimental data- Creation of majorant frequency schemes based on master kinetic<br />
equation (MKE) for an implicit treatment of the collision processes.- Development hybrid approaches combining continuum<br />
and kinetic descriptions of the flow, kinetic schemes of gas dynamics should be used to facilitate the automatic domain<br />
decomposition and coupling of MC solution with continuum equations. A unified computer code should automatically switch<br />
between kinetic and continuum models to maximize computational efficiency and ensure numerical stability.- Creation of an<br />
object-oriented software (OOS) system using C++ language and based on RGDAS software. This OOS system should include<br />
above mentioned models and approaches and permit to compute 2D, axisymmetric and 3D plume flows and their interactions<br />
with the spacecraft; incorporates pre- and post-processing systems that enable the use by non-expert users; re<strong>du</strong>ces the time<br />
to set-up + run complex simulations from months to days.The proposed activity is aimed at the development of a single<br />
European DSMC code for realistic 3d configurations, physically accurate, for simulation of rarefied flows ranging from<br />
suborbital to ground-test-facility conditions. The code could be developed as a mo<strong>du</strong>lar, possibly object-oriented, program, in<br />
a open-source environment and with an open architecture which will allow maximum flexibility and mo<strong>du</strong>larity.<br />

Title:<br />
Feasibility Demonstration of a European Space Propulsion Simulation Tool<br />
The purpose is to demonstrate, as an extension of an already existing common environment, a mechanical engineering<br />
simulation tool for transient multi-disciplinary systems and cycles (e.g. spacecraft systems, chemical and electrical propulsion<br />
cycles, ground support equipment & operations, ground/qualification tests,...) to be used by European space in<strong>du</strong>stries,<br />
research institutes and universities. Due to the intrinsic complexity of this activity, the feasibility of the concept should first be<br />
demonstrated, allowing:The proof of concept to couple several mechanical disciplines (fluid flow, thermal, machinery,<br />
electrical, chemistry...) into one single engineering analysis tool.The proof of concept to re<strong>du</strong>ced modelling of particular<br />
physical processes in space environments along with appropriate validation.The proof of concept to run in a temporally<br />
unsteady way a system and/or a cycle where the different demonstration models and discipline couplings are integrated.<br />
Deliverables:<br />
Demonstration model.<br />
