- GFSSP is a finite-volume based general-purpose computer program for analyzing steady state and time-dependent flowrate, pressure, temperature and concentrations in a complex flow network. The program has a large built-in library of fluids and flow components such as pump, valve, pipes of various cross-section, orifices, bends and seal passages. The program is capable of modeling phase changes (liquid-vapor), compressibility, mixture thermodynamics, conjugate heat transfer including conduction, radiation and phase change (solid-liquid), water hammer and external body forces such as gravity, centrifugal and surface tension. The visual pre and post processor of the code greatly simplifies the task of model building, running and viewing the results in an user friendly window environment. GFSSP’s modular code structure allows user to incorporate customized model of new physical or chemical processes through User’s Subroutine. GFSSP, winner of the NASA Software of the Year award, has been developed at Marshall Space Flight Center for flow analysis of Rocket Engine Turbopump and Propulsion System. This 1-Day course will offer a comprehensive training on the latest version (5.0) of the code. The participants will learn the mathematical framework, specific capabilities, and will build, run and interpret model results for several example problems during the course.

NOTE: This course will be presented in two parts; a lecture format in the morning session followed by a hands-on session in the afternoon.
