realistic approach to 1D computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This
entry must be quantifiable and representative of an advance in
system level thermo-fluid analysis and modeling. The submission
must demonstrate a relevant, clear and practical approach to system
design and must be within the public domain and circulated publicly
within 12 months prior to the award entry closing date. Applicants
must have permission from their organization, or have relevant
authority to apply. All entries, including the supporting
materials, must be submitted by April 30,
