CHARM
Comprehensive hierarchical aeromechanics software that models rotorcraft aerodynamics and dynamics across general flight conditions, suitable for high-fidelity design and research and operable on desktop processors.
Sim Modules
A family of physics-based software modules derived from a comprehensive rotorcraft code for use in high-fidelity real-time flight simulations, including wake/panel, real-time blade/aero, multiple-aircraft simulation and degraded-visibility (brownout) modules.
CGE
General-purpose steady/unsteady adaptive cut-cell octree Cartesian-grid flow solver for air and ground vehicle analysis, with automatic grid generation and extensions for URANS and internal flow analysis.
CPB
Adaptive Cartesian grid Poisson-Boltzmann solver for biomolecular electrostatics supporting nonlinear and size-modified PBE forms, post-processing of energetic quantities, and visualization output.
AGDISPpro
Aerial application dispersion model using Lagrangian particle methods to predict droplet behavior, drift, wake interaction, and deposition from manned aircraft and UAVs; validated against field studies.
FJSIM
Fuel jettisoning simulation combining evaporation models, meteorology and aircraft characteristics to estimate groundfall metrics and support policy and operational review.
