NASCART-GT

NASCART-GT adapted Cartesian grid and computed pressure over spacecraft and towed toroidal ballute at Mach=26.3.

NASCART-GT is a solution adaptive, Cartesian-grid based flow solver.  NASCART-GT first generates an orthogonal, Cartesian grid around complex single or multiple geometries in an automated fashion.  Several geometry input formats are available including simple x,y,z coordinates of surface nodes, Catia^TMV5 files, or PLOT3D^TM surface files.  Structured-grid based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) programs often require significant person-hours, substantial human interaction and expertise for grid generation.  NASCART-GT’s automated grid generation and flow solver minimizes these issues while conducting high-fidelity flow analysis.

NASCART-GT is under development by the Aerothermodynamics Research and Technology Lab in the School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech.
