IAP Variants

In this episode, Alfred Belen dives into the potential naval applications for internal atmospheric propulsion (IAP). With the US Navy and other navies already experienced in nuclear propulsion, could IAP be used for even more silent and efficient propulsion systems? Join us in exploring these exciting possibilities and the potential of IAP to revolutionize naval propulsion systems as well as outer space transportation.To learn more about supporting the development of IAP please go to https://belenaerospace.com/Podcast Production Services by EveryWord Media

In this episode of Jets in Space, host Alfred Belen and intern Aabhushan Regmi update listeners on the team's progress in creating an internal atmosphere propulsion system using OpenFOAM. They discuss the steps taken so far, such as narrowing down the geometry and CAD models.The potential of an all-electric propulsion system is also explored, along with the technical aspects of its development. Join in the conversation and follow along as we design and build our first IAP prototype.Timestamps:(01:37) - Aabhushan's background in engineering and Open FOAM. (05:44) - overview discussion on variables that we can change within the IAP system and thrust generation.(11:41) - Changes in atmospheric pressure and how it affects thrust generation.(13:51) - Reaching the sonic barrier on spinning fan blades(16:06) - Is there a limit on how many engines we can add to the system?(19:52) - The challenge of designing and connecting opposing corridors.Resources Mentioned:OpenFoamSpoken Tutorial on OpenFOAMComputational Fluid Dynamicshttps://www.belenaerospace.com/Podcast Production Services by EveryWord Media

In this episode, we dive into the cutting-edge world of propulsion technology. Our guest, Dr. Jozsef Nagy, is a leading expert in the field of computational fluid dynamics and the open-source simulation platform OpenFOAM. Together with our host, Alfred Belen, they will explore a revolutionary new propulsion concept that uses compressed gas within a closed container to generate thrust. We'll delve into the complexities of simulating real-world conditions, including material properties, thermal effects, and more.But we'll also discuss the potential benefits of this system, including the ability to use different gases and how this would affect thrust production. And, of course, we'll be talking about the all-important thrust calculation.Are you ready for a journey into the future of propulsion technology?Tune in to this episode of "Jets in Space" and discover the possibilities that await us in the world of compressed gas propulsion. With Dr. Jozsef Nagy's expertise in OpenFOAM, this episode is bound to be an engaging and informative listen that will have you wanting to know more.Notable LinksJozsef Nagy's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OpenFOAMJozsefNagyJozsef Nagy's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=15620295Jozsef Nagy's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jozsef-nagy-2b37a0a9/Jozsef Nagy's Research project: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/82332559/admin/1Podcast Production Services by EveryWord Media
