Convection Equation Solver Implementation & Validation

The contract entails the development and validation of a finite-volume convection solver integrated into the HyperFlux computational framework, focusing on accurate numerical representation of convective transport phenomena. The work includes the full implementation of the solver algorithm, rigorous convergence testing across a range of flow conditions to ensure numerical stability and accuracy, and the delivery of complete, documented source code for future use and modification. The project is structured as an 8(a) sole-source subcontract under NAICS code 541715, indicating it is designated for small disadvantaged businesses and awarded without competitive bidding due to unique expertise requirements. The solvers must meet stringent performance benchmarks consistent with NASA’s high-fidelity simulation standards, and validation results must demonstrate alignment with established theoretical and empirical benchmarks. The contract was posted by the NASA Shared Services Center on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, with a response deadline set for July 27, 2026. While the place of performance and point of contact details are not specified, the work will be conducted remotely or at the contractor’s facility with deliverables submitted electronically. No set-aside limitations beyond the 8(a) designation apply, and the project is critical for advancing computational fluid dynamics capabilities within NASA’s broader simulation infrastructure. Successful execution requires proven experience with finite-volume methods, hyperbolic PDE solvers, and prior integration with similar high-performance computing frameworks.
