The primary objective for this work was to demonstrate the use of the T3D in the simulation of a grand challenge problem, namely the structural acoustics problem. To do this, LLNL was to produce a parallel structural acoustics application that could be used by AETC and the LLNL structural acoustics group for the analysis of complex geometry acoustic fluid-structure interaction problems. LLNL worked on developing the acoustic fluid-structure simulation code, PING, and mapping the application to the CRAY T3D in several phases. LLNL ran the PING test problems identified in the milestones below, and assisted AETC in the running of further models they developed and wished to run. The primary deliverable was the parallel version of PING for the T3D. LLNL and AETC prepared quarterly reports and a final report at the conclusion of the project. In addition, informal working notes, technical reports, and a journal article were prepared to describe the research and simulation results. At the conclusion of the CRADA, AETC was given access to PING and was to acquire a license for its further use.
