This $450,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research by the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to investigate the elastic properties of fluids confined in nanoporous materials and their impact on wave propagation.

The project aims to develop a molecular theory to quantify the effects of fluid confinement on elastic properties like compressibility, and apply this to improve models of wave propagation in fluid-saturated nanoporous media. The research will use computational modeling and experimental measurements on confined alkanes in porous glasses and carbon materials to achieve this objective. The findings are expected to advance fundamental understanding of confined fluids and enable improved techniques for resource exploration and greenhouse gas sequestration. The project also includes STEM workforce development components engaging diverse undergraduate and high school students.
