The final product developed during Phase II will be a computational toolkit to model damage profiles in EBCs. The software modules will be linked to the CFD and FEM modeling tools currently in use at NASA Glenn Research Center, directly interfacing with their current turbine materials research programs. These modules will combine automated scripts with high-fidelity simulation programs to model and analyze EBC material behavior.
Rolls-Royce and Lockheed Martin Corporation are advising the direction and application of the Phase II project. CFDRC will develop the modules for industrial turbine problems and apply expert support based on their guidance
