Research at Georgetown Rail Equipment (GREX)
Georgetown Rail Equipment (GREX) is a private central Texas company that develops technology solutions for railroads worldwide. The GREX Emerging Technologies Team has research initiatives covering X-Ray backscatter technology, Spatial Phase Imaging, AI / Machine learning, Machine Vision, Big Data Analysis, and Automation. Members of the team are involved in all aspects of the R&D process including IP generation, patenting, proof-of-concept innovation, rapid prototyping, testing, development, customer interfacing, publications, and conference attendance / presentations. Jeb Belcher, Manager of the Emerging Technologies Team and A&M Math graduate, will be presenting on the active projects outlined above. Additionally, he will be taking a deeper dive into how GREX is adopting AI as a Quality Assurance tool to standardize x-ray performance across a production fleet. |

Code-Verification Techniques for Hypersonic Reacting Flow in Thermochemical Nonequilibrium
The study of hypersonic flows and their underlying aerothermochemical reactions is particularly important in the design and analysis of vehicles exiting and reentering Earth's atmosphere. Computational physics codes can be employed to simulate these phenomena; however, code verification of these codes is necessary to certify their credibility. To date, few approaches have been presented for verifying codes that simulate hypersonic flows, especially flows reacting in thermochemical nonequilibrium. In this work, we present our code-verification techniques for hypersonic reacting flows in thermochemical nonequilibrium, as well as their deployment in the Sandia Parallel Aerodynamics and Reentry Code (SPARC). |
