Computationally Efficient Framework for 3D Flow-Coupled Radiative Calculations

Completed TRL 3 (started at 2, targeting 3)

Description

The current proposal will accrue significant speedups by implementing state-of-the-art methods for spatial, angular, and spectral integration of radiative intensity: Spatial, Angular, Spectral (stretch goal)

Benefits

Implement game-changing algorithms for flow-coupled radiative calculations which provide orders-of-magnitude efficiency gains and ensure high accuracy.

How to get involved

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 3) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
