About 2025 Modeling Summer Visit
Welcome to the official website of the 2025 Modeling Summer Visit at NASA Ames! This program, running from July 7 to August 1, 2025, is designed to bring together professors and students from the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics, Bordeaux University, Ecole Polytechnique, and NASA collaborators to collaborate on cutting-edge research in entry systems modeling.
Participants will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on projects that contribute to NASA’s mission-critical goals. These projects focus on advancing the understanding and simulation of thermal protection systems (TPS) and aerothermal environments during atmospheric entry. The Thermal Protection Materials (ARC-TSM) and Aerothermodynamics (ARC-TSA) branches at NASA Ames Research Center have made significant strides in understanding environment and material behavior under extreme conditions, and participants will have access to key papers and research that reflect these advancements.
This visit is an international collaborative effort, focused on sharing expertise, exploring innovative approaches, and developing simulation models that push the boundaries of spacecraft entry dynamics. Together, we aim to foster collaboration across academic and government institutions, making a lasting impact on the future of spacecraft design and entry systems.
