The National Science Foundation awarded a $309,527 project grant to Florida Atlantic University for investigation of multi-scale turbulence coupling by goal-oriented adaptive surface modulation. The grant is funded through the NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) and will support research from May 2021 through April 2025.
The Engineering program seeks to improve quality of life and economic strength by fostering innovation and excellence in engineering research. This project aims to advance that goal by investigating multi-scale interactions between fluid turbulence and adaptive surfaces, with the goal of developing new methods for optimizing fluid flow. The university will use the funding over four years to conduct research that could enable future engineering applications such as more efficient aircraft, vehicles, or power generation equipment.
