- Description
- AEDC is seeking an organization with the multidisciplinary engineering ability to develop a domain connectivity software application that will be utilized in a high fidelity, physics-based, multi-flow solver paradigm. The Department of Defense High Performance Computing Modernization Program (DoD HPCMP) is currently developing a Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) tool for aircraft design and analysis. The resulting program is called the Computational Research and Engineering Acquisition Tools and Environments for Air Vehicles (CREATE-AV). Two of the three physics-based simulation software products being developed as part of the program are Kestrel and Helios. Kestrel delivers virtual design test and analysis capabilities for fixed-wing aircraft (full spectrum - fighter, bomber, tanker, reconnaissance, etc), while Helios provides that same capabilities for rotary-wing aircraft. The CREATE-AV Helios and Kestrel software products utilize a "dual mesh" paradigm. Specifically, this is use of either a "strand" grid or "unstructured" grid near to a surface geometry (of an aircraft) to resolve boundary effects, and a high-order Cartesian system of grids away from the body. The desired organization must have the ability to develop the grid assembly software application that will enable efficient interpolation between the strand (unstructured) grid and the far-field (Cartesian) grid. This dual mesh combination present a novel and very powerful paradigm that none of the other commonly used domain connectivity tools is currently exploiting. Exploitation of these attributes is the critical path to development of both Kestrel and Helios. The capability captured by this unique paradigm enables true automation of domain connectivity, is highly scalable, and enables efficient memory use.
