- Description
- The USCG Engineering Logistics Center has a requirement to develop an effective hydrodynamic design evaluation tool for LPD well dock vessels. The Coast Guard?s interest in this project is related to the hydrodynamics of stern-ramp boat deployment. The first phase of this project succeeded in coupling together the time-domain sea-keeping program and a CFD program. This is the first time that these two types of analysis tools have been brought together in a functional form although further development needs to be done. The combination allows local hydrodynamic phenomena to be investigated within the environment of whole-ship sea-keeping motions. In terms of stern-ramp boat deployment, the coupled analysis tool will have the capability to model propeller wash as a current superimposed on ship motion to generate turbulent flow astern while operating in a seaway. In addition, the investigation into wave reflection characteristics within the well dock against vertical and sloping surfaces of different porosity will contribute to design and proper selection of stern ramp slope and grating porosity for the most effective wave and entrained water dissipation as a RHIB lands upon the stern ramp. It is anticipated that a non-competitive sole source purchase order will be issued for this study to: Oceanic Consulting Corporation, St. John?s, Newfoundland unless additional sources are located. All responsible and responsive sources are invited to express their interest and ABILITY to provide the above-described service via fax or e-mail to Mr. Orofino, no later than April 30, 2002. All responsive and responsible sources may submit a quote, which will be considered by this agency. ATTENTION: Minority, Women-Owned and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs)! The Department of Transportation (DOT), short-term Lending Program (STLP) offers working capital financing in the form of lines of credit to finance accounts receivable for transportation related contracts. Maximum line of credit is $500,000 with interest at the prime rate. For further information, call (800) 532-1169. Internet address: http://osdbuweb.dot.gov. See Note 22 & 26.
