One of the goals of the Controls and Dynamics Branch is to provide public domain simulations of various types of aircraft engines so that researchers in academia, industry and other organizations can evaluate their advanced controls and diagnostics algorithms against realistic systems. To that end, the Controls and Dynamics Branch has developed and made for public release a simulation of an advanced military aircraft engine as well as two simulations representative of modern large commercial aircraft engines. These simulations are described in greater detail under the Modular Aero-Propulsion System Simulations link below and are available to U.S. citizens via the NASA GRC software repository. The Controls and Dynamics Branch has also made available other propulsion-related tools related to compressible flow, unsteady propulsion analysis, sensor selection and diagnostic algorithm benchmarking.

Available Simulations and Software Packages

• Modular Aero-Propulsion System Simulations – MAPSS, C-MAPSS, C-MAPSS40k
• Compressible Flow Toolbox
