ATDM report to ECP AD FY18Q4

Pennington, Aaron M.

A comprehensive V&V study of hypersonic flow in SPARC validated against several experiments was produced. This work was successfully completed as an official ASC L2 milestone with an external review of the team's work. Our work has provided a basis for utilizing SPARC as credible analysis tool for hypersonic re-entry flows. The V&V process has been exercised in full breadth including applicable frameworks, professional standards, code and solution verification, calibration, sensitivity analysis and parametric uncertainty.
