Plume-Surface Interaction (PSI) between lander engine plumes and native regolith soil presents primary hazards in obscuration and contamination by particle clouds, high-energy ejecta streams, and landing area cratering damage. The MSFC Fluid Dynamics Branch has assembled a portfolio of simulation tools to develop a predictive PSI capability for NASA customers such as the Human Lander System (HLS) and Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS). These tools are matured via funding by NASA’s STMD Game Changing Development Program and the NASA SBIR/STTR Program.
