Here is a link to my new blog, which I will be posting any cool projects I'm working on along with interesting thoughts and fun things I've learned.

I am Samuel "Red" Otto. This blog documents my progress on projects in propulsion and CFD. In Research Science with Graig Marx, my focus is on the regression behavior of liquefying hybrid rocket fuels, determining the dependence of regression rate coefficients on the Thermal Properties of n-paraffin fuels. In ACSI with David Nassar, I am investigating core flows in a hybrid rocket motor using a MUSCL scheme in conjunction with the Advection Upstream Splitting Method (AUSM) for flux evaluation.

The "Final" Product
First, I want to apologize for not continuing to update this blog as my research progressed last year. The good news is I was able to run several more test of the rocket motor and also complete my 2D axisymmertric gas dynamics code in order to write my two research papers. I would have liked to keep you updated on my progress, but I ran up against my school's deadlines and was forced to streamline the process and make some tough decisions. The work was too important to take shortcuts and the papers I have posted represent my progress at the end of my senior year. Now at Purdue University, I have continued doing research in computational gas dynamics and will try to post what I'm working on -- possibly on another blog which I will link to this one.
