Hypersonic Vehicle Aerodynamics and Propulsion

Due: May 1, 2025

$99,200

Description

The unique physics associated with flying at hypersonic speeds create a challenging operational environment for any prospective vehicle design. From an aerodynamics standpoint, the incredibly high temperatures encountered in this environment pose a significant thermal loading on the vehicle and excite internal vibrational energy modes within the gas molecules themselves that can lead to dissociation and other chemical reactions in the air and on the vehicle surface. From a propulsion standpoint, the most efficient means of genera...

Grantor Contact InformationDavid Allen Kessler, Phone: 202.767.3196Grantor Emaildavid.a.kessler6.civ@us.navy.milOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
