The NPARC Alliance

The Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC) and the NASA Lewis Research Center (LeRC) have formed a government alliance aimed at establishing and supporting a national, application-oriented computational fluid dynamics (CFD) capability, centered around the NPARC flow simulation software. The Alliance is supported by and responsive to an association made up of more that 100 active users at over 60 government, industry, and academic institutions. This paper discusses the history, structure, and philosophy of the NPARC Alliance.Copyright © 1995 by ASME
