reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA378304 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The NPARC Alliance is a partnership between NASAs Glenn Research Center, the Air Forces Arnold Engineering Development Center, and industry. We have been working together since the early 90s to produce flow solvers for use in advanced aerospace applications. This flow simulation system WIND is continuously being improved and validated by the NPARC Alliance to address the U.S. aerospace communitys requirements for an efficient general-purpose tool. The Alliance provides support to all user organizations, serves as the national focal point for NPARC software developmentvalidation, and ensures that these efforts remain customer focused by actively seeking feedback from the user community. This paper provides an overview of the capabilities of the NPARC Alliance simulation system, a description of the development process, and discusses the history and progress of the Alliance to date.
