This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $319,942 provides funding over three years from May 1, 2023 through April 30, 2026 under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The award supports research at Princeton University to validate numerical simulations of viscoelastic fluid flows against experimental data. The Principal Investigator and their team will utilize extended Oldroyd-B constitutive equations to model dilute polymer solutions, incorporating microstructural features such as finite extensibility and drag. They will integrate theory, simulations, and experiments to study pressure drop versus flow rate in non-uniform channel shapes and characterize polymer conformation. The research aims to address discrepancies between continuum-level simulations and experimental observations of complex fluids like polymer solutions, advancing the validation of numerical simulation tools for industrial and natural applications involving such materials.
