INVITATION TO THE THIRD ESPSS WORKSHOP Location: Maritim Hotel, Cologne (Germany) Dates: 22nd of May 2014 Following the needs of the European Space Propulsion Community, a first workshop on ESPSS was collocated with the ESA Space Propulsion 2012 Conference at Bordeaux. Due to its success and on users’ request, ESAESTEC responsible for the ESPSS development is now preparing a 3rd ESPSS workshop in co-location with the Space Propulsion 2014 Conference covering the following topics: - Latest improvements of ESPSS v3.0 - Industrial validation and simulations - Problems’ handling and suggestions - Next steps towards ESPSS 3.2 To start, a general overview of the European Space Propulsion System Simulation will be given by ESA and EAI, where the main capabilities of the EcosimPro tool and the ESPSS libraries will be explained, as well as the status of the main developments that are currently ongoing in ESPSS. The floor will be then opened to industrial and researcher institution users providing the opportunity to present their application and validation test cases while highlighting strengths and weaknesses of the code. ESA and EAI will be glad to receive during the problems’ handling session different suggestions and questions stated by the different users and attendants, based on their experience and wishes. The workshop will end up with a round table session where all the users can address their new needs for future applications. The main goal of this meeting is to reinforce the constructive feed-back on the simulation tool in which the experience of developers and users are put together to plan future improvements for the EcosimPro/ESPSS tool environment. Therefore this event is set up as workshop rather than a conference for which attendees are invited to orient their presentations towards modelling, validations, extensions and followed approaches of the ESPSS-tool. Organizing Committee J. Steelant and F. Di Matteo Section of Aerothermodynamics and Propulsion Analysis ESA-ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands. ESPSS Tool The ESPSS (European Space Propulsion System Simulation) is an ESA initiative that aims to create an European simulation platform for spacecraft and launch vehicle propulsion systems under transient and steady (design & off-design) conditions. It consists of a set of libraries based on the EcosimPro simulation environment, developed jointly with the European space propulsion community. ESPSS provides a state-of-the-art tool for analysing different phenomena in space propulsion systems. Currently ESPSS is in development Phase-3; one of the main goals is to add the capability of computing steady calculations for Design purposes. EcosimPro Tool EcosimPro is a commercial multi-disciplinary modelling and simulation environment developed by Empresarios Agrupados Internacional (EAI). It is currently used in several areas such as environmental control and life support in manned spacecraft, loop heat pipes, power plants systems, gas turbine systems and spacecraft power systems. EAI is the official distributor of the ESPSS libraries Workshop Tentative Agenda: The workshop will take place at Maritim Hotel, Cologne (Germany), Thursday 22nd of May. Tentative agenda: (will be updated pending on the attendee’s inputs) • • Morning: ESPSS General Information and Status Overview o EAI: ESPSS overview o ESA: On going and planned developments: status of ESPSS-3 phase o Feedback from users Afternoon: Interactive session with users o Problems handling o Round table discussion The workshop is free for registered attendants at the Space Propulsion 2014 Conference. For people attending only the workshop there is a fee of 100€ to cover coffee breaks and lunch. Users interested in attending, and/or showing their test cases, are invited to register via the Space Propulsion 2014 Conference website www.propulsion2014.com and provide [email protected] the attached form filled by 22nd of April. An updated agenda will be sent out shortly afterwards.
