Abstract

Special purpose simulation computer code development for analysis of dynamic fluid flow systems is a complex and time-consuming task. One alternating is the use of a simulation package entitled EASY/ROCETS, which is a concatenation of two previously existing packages along with several extensions designed for the EASY/ROCETS package. The capabilities of the package in its present form are discussed. An example turbopump simulation is presented, which compares simulation results to hardware test data obtained at Stennis Space Center
