A computer program predicts the noise and ignition over pressure in the vicinity of a rocket during launch. The program has been developed to complement the vibroacoustic-prediction effort for rockets now in use and to provide the capability for prediction of vibroacoustic loads associated with next-generation rockets. Programs like this one are vital parts of the implementation of NASA's "better, faster, cheaper" philosophy; they are needed because full-scale acoustic and vibration testing of launch vehicles or payloads is often difficult, time-consuming, and prohibitively expensive.
