The NPARC Alliance: A Science and Technology/Test and Evaluation Partnership Example

Abstract

The NPARC Alliance is a partnership between NASA's Glenn Research Center, the Air Force's 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 community's requirements for an efficient general-purpose tool. The Alliance provides support to all user organizations, serves as the national focal point for NPARC software development/validation, 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.
