Designing and developing new aerospace propulsion systems is time-consuming and expensive. Computational simulation is a promising means for alleviating this cost, but requires a flexible software simulation system capable of integrating advanced multidisciplinary and multifidelity analysis methods, dynamically constructing arbitrary simulation models, and distributing computationally complex t...

An advanced LES code, named SPARK-LES, is currently under development at CIRA within the frame of the HYPROB program. The general goal of the HYPROB program, coherently with CIRA programmatic guidelines in the field of Aerospace Propulsion, is to improve CIRA design and research capabilities on Liquid Rocket Engines, and in particular on the LOx/CH4 oxidizer-fuel mixture. One of the objectives ...
