The National Science Foundation awarded a $205,215 Project Grant to the Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc. under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041). The award will support research developing a theoretical scaling framework for dispersion in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence through May 2025.

Specifically, the awardee will leverage modern theoretical techniques to extend Richardson's 1926 theory of dispersion for hydrodynamic fluids to magnetohydrodynamic settings. Computational simulations performed on high-performance supercomputers will test the new predictions and probe foundational questions in MHD turbulence. The awardee will also engage summer research students in computational outreach and technical training. The results aim to improve reactor design and space weather prediction by providing a clearer understanding of how dispersion differs between electrically neutral and charged fluids in magnetic fields.
