One Fall intern needed to help develop CFD combustion modeling and analysis of Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) technology using NASA’s OpenNCC program. The student will contribute in creating a new chemistry model that includes cryogenic, supercritical propellants. A skillset in CFD coding and a knowledge of combustion is required. The intern will learn how to use and code in Fortran using Linux and learn how to use Pointwise to create meshes for this project. It is preferred that applicants have a knowledge and an understanding of detonation combustion. This internship is ideal for students who want to focus on a CFD career path applied to liquid combustion of NASA space missions. The future of this technology may be part of NASA’s Artemis Program for Mars missions. A selected intern must be able to work on an engineering team and be self-motivated to complete assigned tasks. This person will be part of all NASA meetings and discussions on this project, working alongside leading experts in the field. This opportunity will include regular meetings with NASA team members that are part of the Early Career Initiative (ECI) program from the Glenn Research Center and Marshall Space Flight Center.
