Definitive Contract FA955015C0050

This is a three-year cooperative agreement between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the University of Illinois to provide benchmark measurements of turbulent compressible mixing layers. The primary objective is to generate a comprehensive and well-documented dataset to enable sensitive testing of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model predictions of the effects of compressibility on turbulence and spatial development of mixing between two streams. The $794,838...

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $523,109.00 grant to the University of Delaware to conduct research on turbulence in the solar wind and its impact on solar energetic particles (SEPs) and galactic cosmic rays (GCRs). The research aims to create a comprehensive knowledge base on the intermittency of turbulence in the heliosphere, which can be used to improve models of SEP and GCR propagation and diffusion. The study will leverage data from NASA's Voyager, ACE,...

This is a NASA research grant awarded to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to investigate subgrid-scale (SGS) wall modeling for large eddy simulation (LES) of high-Reynolds number and complex flows, which remains a significant barrier to the application of LES in aeronautical design. The two-year, $91,307.41 grant aims to use existing direct numerical simulation (DNS) results to quantify the correlation between SGS stresses and SGS kinetic energy, and then implement an SGS...

This is a Cooperative Agreement between the University of Notre Dame DU Lac and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with a ceiling value of $602,617. The purpose of the agreement is to conduct three archival benchmark smooth body flow separation experiments to validate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models for predicting turbulent flow separation, which is an important challenge in off-design aerodynamic configurations. The experiments will be performed at Mach 0.2 to...

This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) for a three-year research project focused on improving the physical understanding of the origin of the turbulent solar wind. The project involves simulating time-dependent magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in solar wind flux tubes, using an existing Monte Carlo model to simulate wave injection via magnetic reconnection, and synthesizing observational...

This is a $749,561.45 cooperative agreement awarded by NASA to the Regents of the University of Colorado, operating through the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The agreement supports research and development of a spatio-temporally adaptive variable fidelity approach to modeling and simulation of complex turbulent flows. The proposed framework integrates turbulence modeling and numerical methods to enable more efficient and accurate computational fluid dynamics...

This is a $475,668.86 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration. The grant is for research on "Instability, Turbulence, and Enhanced Transport in Collisionless Black-Hole Accretion Flows." The research aims to develop a comprehensive first-principles study of the plasma physics of collisionless accretion flows using both analytic and state-of-the-art numerical models....

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $109,650.59 grant for research to the University of Colorado, Office of Contracts and Grants Division. This grant supports a study of strong turbulence in the Earth's magnetosheath using data from NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. The research aims to analyze kinetic-scale turbulence, dissipative processes, and resulting particle heating and acceleration. The University will use MMS magnetometer and plasma...
