Modeling, Simulation, Stimulation, and Analysis Support SBAR's team member, Oceaneering International, Inc. (OII), is designing, fabricating, installing and testing a full size, in-water simulator of the ASDS Lock-in/Lock-out and Transport Compartment. Taking NAVAIR's Exercise Control Guides and our extensive commercial experience in the Theme Park industry we are creating a full size simulator of the ASDS compartments that is suspended in a water tank. This simulator will be used to develop the situational awareness of the crew during emergency lock-in/lock-out and fire fighting events and to provide data for the development of effective operational procedures. Additionally, under GS-23F-0250K, OII simulated and modeled a cofferdam in SolidWorks and completed Finite Element Analysis to demonstrate the strength and safety of OII's design. This information was provided to NAVSEA 00C5 for review and approval. On Multiple DOs, OII personnel advanced the APACTS paint capture shroud design by evaluating the shroud manufacturability and materials and performing 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling on the air and paint fluid simulation using COSMOSFloWorks. Full scale models of chosen designs and materials were built, evaluated for weight and durability, evaluated for paint build-up on shroud, and evaluated for effects on paint transfer efficiency, and evaluated for shroud capture efficiency by performing mass balance analysis in a controlled testing environment. Additional advancements were made through modeling experiments and CFD analysis to improve the air-flow system from the shroud to the treatment system. Advancements were made through experimentation of duct drag, different size hoses, and by building actual models of the air conveyance system allowing various designs to be tested to determine the subsystem requirements.
