Advancing Challenging Aerothermodynamic and Propulsion System Phenomena via Hypersonic Vehicle Simulation
Dr. Russ Cummings -
Managing Director, DoD HPCMP Hypersonic Vehicle Simulation Institute,
United States Air Force Academy
Scott Morton - DoD HPCMP CREATE Air Vehicles Project Manager, US Army ERDC Information Technology Laboratory
Dr. Graham Candler - Associate Department Head, Aerospace Engineering & Mechanics Department, University of Minnesota
The Hypersonic Vehicle Simulation Institute is a national effort aiming to bring together DoD, DoE, NASA, academic and industry hypersonic research to address current shortcomings and advance the state-of-the-art in hypersonic vehicle simulation. With the overall goal of accelerating technology development to transition superior defense capabilities for the US, HSVI’s efforts in the hypersonic flight are tangential to this total Force effort.
