Computational Chemistry Studies of HEDM

Abstract

The program objective is to identify and develop advanced chemical propellants for rocket propulsion applications. Computational chemistry plays a critical role in HEDM research. It guides the choice of target compounds and possible synthetic routes, and provides verification of successful synthesis. CC is addressing an ever wider range of Air Force applications. New methods are under development (e.g. modeling chemistry in solution or on surfaces). Parallel computing technology has greatly expanded the scope of problems which can be modeled.
