The Integrated High Performance Turbine Engine Technology (IHPTET) Program and the Numerical Propulsion System Simulation (NPSS) Program are two aeropropulsion multidisciplinary efforts at NASA Lewis that complement each other. The IHPTET initiative is an experimental program to advance engine development and double propulsion system capability by the turn of the century. NASA Lewis is contributing, with the Department of Defense and seven major aerospace contractors, to the development of these advanced, military, high-performance engines in the areas of compressors, combustors, turbines, nozzles, controls, mechanical systems, instrumentation, materials, structures, and computational fluid dynamics. The NPSS effort is a computational, long-range program with the goal of reducing the cost and time of development for advanced-technology propulsion systems. This goal will be achieved through a cooperative effort of NASA, industry, universities, and other government agencies to develop the necessary technologies for integrating disciplines, components, and high-performance computing into a user-friendly simulation environment. This simulation allows for comprehensive evaluation of new concepts early ing the design phase, before a commitment to hardware is made. It also allows for rapid assessment of field-related problems, particularly where operational problems are encountered during conditions that are difficult to simulate experimentally. Data generated from the IHPTET engines will be used to help validate NPSS computations.
