Calculation of Viscous Compressible Flows in Small Gas Turbines

The NASA Lewis Research Center is conducting a program to develop improved technology for the space shuttle main engine (SSmE). This program requires not only a component test program, but also the development of accurate and reliable analyses to support the program. Thus a computer analysis for the prediction of the flow of hot gases, composed of a variety of exhaust products, through rocket and gas turbine components would support this program and also would be suitable for a wide variety of other applications.
