- Description
- The Virginia Contracting Activity, on behalf of the Defense Intelligence Agency/ Missile and Space Intelligence Center (DIA/MSIC), Building 4545, Fowler Road, Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5500 intends to award a purchase order to Mississippi State University. The objective of the effort is to have the contractor perform a computational aerodynamic analysis of a subsonic missile with side exhaust plumes that interact with tail control surfaces. The analysis shall be performed using U2NCLE, an unstructured tetrahedral body fitted grid Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code that can model plume exhaust effects. These simulations are intended to provide insight into the impact of viscous effects, plume interaction, and grid resolution on aerodynamic performance prediction accuracy. The contractor shall: a. construct an unstructured body fitted computational grid with emphasis on capturing the effect of plume characteristics on missile performance; b. determine the optimal grid resolution by performing a grid refinement study; c. perform calculations with and without plume exhaust for one rotation rate, one Mach number, and two angles of attack to be specified by the Government...this will involve a total of four cases; examine the flowfields and visually display relevant parameters influencing aerodynamic performance; quantify the impact of the plume exhaust on aerodynamic performance by determining the forces and moments acting on the missile; d. document the results of the analysis; discuss the impact of plume exhaust on predicting the aerodynamic performance of subsonic missiles with tail controls and include computational requirements. This effort will require three 1-day, 1-person trips to Huntsville, Alabama. The contractor shall have twelve months to perform the requirements of this effort. All documentation shall be assembled in Microsoft Word or [Acrobat (Portable Document Format) and HTML (HyperText Markup Language)] with graphics, data and text placed together. The final report shall be in both hardcopy and CD-ROM. It will also be necessary for the contractor to provide monthly cost and progress reports by email. No solicitations shall be issued other than this notice. Only those proposals received by the MSIC contracts office by March 29, 2002 shall be considered. Direct all contractual questions to Donna Tignor at 256-313-7625.
