99--TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY REDUCED-ORDER MODELS FOR EFFICIENTCOMPUTATIONAL ANALYSIS OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS

NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA solicits interest from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. THE TECHNOLOGY: NASA Langley has developed unsteady aerodynamic Reduced- Order Models (ROMs) that significantly improve the computational efficiency compared to traditional analyses of aeroelastic and other complex and unsteady systems. Traditional methods rely on the repetitive use of aeroelastic computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes and the iteration between the structural and nonlinear aerodynamic models of the aeroelastic CFD code for predicting the aeroelastic response of flight vehiclesvery time consuming and computationally expensive. The new ROMs are quite different from the traditional aeroelastic analysis tools and enable the computational aeroelastic analysis of flight vehicles at a fraction of the time and cost. To express interest in this opportunity, please respond to Sean Sullivan, Research Triangle International (RTI), at: NASA Langley Research Center, Strategic Relationships Office (SRSO), 17 West Taylor St., Mail Stop 218, Building 1212, Room 110 Hampton, Virginia, E-mail: [email protected], or phone: 757-864-5055. Please indicate the date and title of the FBO notice and include your company and contact information. For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at http://technology.nasa.gov/. RTI is responsible for aggregating and acknowledging all responses. These responses are provided to members of NASA Langleys Innovative Partnerships Office within the Office of Strategic Analysis and Business Development (OSACB) for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities. If direct licensing interest results from this posting, OSACB will follow the required formal licensing process of posting in the Federal Register. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
