This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Mathematical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), is funding the development of novel computational methods for modeling astrophysical flows with self-gravity. The $189,999 award to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, will support a collaborative research effort to design arbitrary-order discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods that preserve fundamental properties of the underlying physical models, such as energy conservation and maximum principles. The research aims to create stable and efficient numerical simulations for applications like core-collapse supernovae, neutron star formation, and other energetic astrophysical events. The project will leverage the university's expertise in mathematics, astrophysics, and computational science, and will also involve training students in an interdisciplinary environment.
