This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $490,337 to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The primary objective of this project is to develop novel data-driven machine learning techniques to enhance the computational performance and accuracy of numerical simulations for modeling relativistic plasma flows in astrophysical phenomena. UCSC researchers aim to create advanced data-driven shock-capturing algorithms and high-order reconstruction methods to replace existing computationally-intensive approaches. The anticipated outcome is a performance-optimized relativistic magnetohydrodynamics solver capable of delivering reliable results while reducing the computational burden associated with achieving grid convergence. The project outcomes will be disseminated through publications and the release of open-source simulation code to benefit the broader computational astrophysics community.
