Project Grant 2154295

The National Science Foundation awarded a $217,089 project grant to The Trustees Of The Stevens Institute Of Technology for research titled "USING A WELL-CONTROLLED HETEROGENEOUS PERMEABILITY FIELD TO STUDY ITS ROLE ON MISCIBLE DENSITY-DRIVEN CONVECTION IN POROUS MEDIA." The award period runs from October 1, 2021 through December 31, 2022. The research will be conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated systems through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grantee will study how heterogeneous permeability in porous media impacts miscible density-driven convection, providing insights with potential applications to subsurface fluid flow modeling and carbon sequestration strategies. The place of performance is Hoboken, New Jersey.
