Overview
NIWC PAC is involved in a variety of research projects to ultimately support the U.S warfighter. One particular area
of interest is detection and sensing within marine environments. Being able to sense hazards within the marine or aquatic environments allows personnel to assess risks and respond appropriately. NIWC Pacific, along with academic collaborators are currently developing tools to aid in understanding risk associated with diving in contaminated waters as well tools to predict potential hazards at a given forward deployment site.
The contractorshall be involved in modernizing existing hydrodynamic models to allow for integration with machine learningmodels and fate transport tools currently under development. The contract shall also be involved in setting up the model, running model scenarios of different harbors and assessing prediction potential. The contractor shall also participate in planning meetings and conference calls with project collaborators. No human or animal testing is expected with this effort.
Responsibilities
The student contractor shall provide analytical and technical support in the following areas:
- Modernize hydrodynamic model utilizing Intel Fortran Compiler/Parallel Visual Studio XE to be
compatible with MS Windows 10/11. - Calibrate newly updated hydrodynamic model with historic data to ensure proper functionality.
- Compile/set up hydrodynamic models (different ports).
- Test run the models to identify the needs and scope of implementation.
- Addition of Bacterial death rates as a function of water quality parameters will be implemented into
the model. - Simulate 1-2 scenarios for each of the harbor models, results of over 2-week (covering spring/neap tidal cycles) time series of simulated bacteria concentrations at the selected location will be stored and analyzed.
- Performing data analysis using off-the-shelf software (e.g., Microsoft Excel, image analysis), selfwritten software with algorithms to be developed as needed, and other statistical packages.
- Conducting relevant literature searches pertaining to the studies and participating in report preparation
for the environmental microbe research.
