Hello,
I'm a volunteer with Team FREDNET, the only Open Source contestant in the Google Lunar X PRIZE competition to land a robotic rover on the surface of the Moon. I'm considering the use of open source CFD such as OpenFOAM for development of our mission. Can you kindly tell me if you think there may be any applications for this software on such a mission? Some of the possible applications that I can think of (but is not sure of) includes: Modeling of exhaust plume interaction with the lunar surface? Modeling of soil mechanics for rover mobility? Modeling of lunar dust dynamics? Thermodynamics / thermal management modeling? What do you think? Would software like OpenFOAM be of use for any of the above or similar applications? Any help greatly appreciated. Best regards, Anders Feder Team FREDNET Volunteer |
