About this award
The University of New Hampshire, a division of the University System of New Hampshire, received a $1.45M research grant from NASA's Shared Services Center, awarded October 19, 2023, with a completion date of October 18, 2026. The contract supports an integrated numerical, theoretical, and observational investigation of the helicity barrier and its effects on turbulence in coronal holes and near-sun solar wind. The research will develop simplified models of imbalanced Alfvén wave turbulence and incorporate physics-based descriptions into one-dimensional solar wind models, with results validated against Parker Solar Probe measurements to enhance understanding of solar wind heating and acceleration mechanisms.
The work directly advances NASA's Turbulence, Magnetic Reconnection, and Shocks (TMS) program element and aligns with the Heliophysics Decadal Survey goal to discover and characterize fundamental processes within the heliosphere. By bridging theory, simulation, and observations, this research will provide other investigators with accurate turbulence models for incorporation into global three-dimensional solar wind simulations, thereby maximizing the scientific return from one of NASA's flagship missions. No set-aside designation was applied to this award.
