A -- HYDROCODES FOR PREDICITION OF BLAST LOADS INSIDE STRUCTURES. SOL n4740896R-MW01 DUE 113095 POC CONTRACTING OFFICER, RITA D. PALMORE, (805) 982-5093 POC Javier Malvar, Code ESC63, (805) 982-1447 or Kevin Hager, Code ESC62, (805) 982-1382. The Government is seeking technical information and sources which may or may not lead to procurment and/or revision of software and user support for modeling the internal blast load environment from detonation of explosives inside containment structures. The software must model the detonation of the explosives, aerosolization of water strategically deployed in the near proximity of explosive, the heat of detonation or combustion absorbed in converting the water from a liquid to a vapor state, and the resulting reduction in gas pressures inside the structure. Thus the software must model detonation of explosives, fluid-structure interaction of a water jacket, aerosolization of the water inside the structures, heat transfer from hot detonation/combustion gases to the water, phase changes in the water, and the resulting shock and gas pressure time history inside the structure. Required numerical capabilities include Lagrange, Euler and/or Arbitrary Lagrange Euler (ALE) processors, and pre- and post- processing interface. Interested parties must provide sufficient technical literature for in-house evaluation of the software capabilities. Closing date is 30 November 1995. All material shall be provided at no cost to the Government. This notice is not a request for proposals and no contract will be awarded solely on the basis of the responses hereto, or any follow-up information subsequently solicited. Persons interest in submitting a proposal should sent it to Commanding Officer, Code 2711 Bldg 41, 1000 23th Ave Port Hueneme, CA 93043-4301.(0300)
