The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded a $279,999 Project Grant to the New Jersey Institute of Technology located in Newark, New Jersey. The grant supports research titled "Modeling and Simulation of Interacting Wings: Collective Dynamics in Inertial Fluid Flows" from July 15, 2021 to June 30, 2024 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049).
The research aims to advance understanding of major problems in mathematical and physical sciences through increasing the store of scientific knowledge and enhancing comprehension of fluid flow dynamics. Specifically, the grant funds modeling and simulation of collective behavior in flocks of wings and other interacting bodies moving through fluids to better understand inertial effects in such systems. Insights gained from this work have the potential to inform applications ranging from engineering design to biological locomotion.
