v3.5_December2023 1 STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) (AFRL Cavity Measurements) 1.0 Background Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT), Code 85 is being funded by the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) to execute a 6.1 basic research project investigating the physics of high-speed water entry. One sub-task of this effort involves measurement of the cavity physics of canonical body water entry. Brigham Young University is on contract in Fiscal Year (FY) 25 to perform these measurements. This Statement of Work (SOW) describes a follow-on contract in alignment with new requirements. The requirements include generating new data over a different range of sphere radius and impact velocity, as well as measuring properties of the splash above the free-surface. These data are required to continue advancing models being developed in support of the AFRL program. 1.1 Places of Performance The experiments shall be performed at Brigham Young University 1.2 Authorized Users Code 85 1.3 Sponsors Air Force Research Lab 1.4 Types of Funding Research, Development, Testing and Evaluation (RDT&E) 2.0 Scope The Contractor shall use the custom apparatus designed and fabricated in Calendar Year (CY) 24 for performing cavity pressure measurements in the wake of a spherical body entering the water in atmospheric and reduced ambient pressure conditions. The Contractor shall also perform planar laser induced florescence (PLIF) measurements to determine the thickness of the splash sheet. The Contractor shall use said apparatus to perform further measurements over an expanded range of sphere radius and speeds in excess of 300 m/s. 3.0 Applicable Documents RESERVED 4.0 Technical Requirements -- 1 of 4 -- v3.5_December2023 2 4.1 Generation of Experimental Data Set The contractor shall: 4.1.1 Propose an experimental test matrix with variations in sphere radius and impact speed in excess of 300 m/s. Matrix shall include any raw high speed video, hydrophone and pressure sensor data. The test matrix is subject to approval by the Government prior to execution of testing. Deliverable: CDRL A001 – Technical Report – Raw Data. 4.1.2 Perform experiments in accordance with the conditions in the approved test matrix. Experimental data to be collected shall include pressure measurements in the cavity formed in the wake of spheres entering the water, and high speed imaging of the same. Deliverable: CDRL A002 – Test Report 4.1.3 (OPTION YEAR). Perform PLIF measurements to determine time-varying splash thickness for the high speed impact conditions studied in 4.1.2. Deliverable: CDRL A003 – Test Report 5.0 Progress Reports The Contractor shall communicate progress to the Government in the form of phone conversations, e-mails, and test reports. 5.1 Bi-weekly progress update The contractor and the Government shall discuss progress on a bi-weekly basis. 6.0 Government Furnished Information The following Government Furnished Information (GFI) will be made available under this contract.
