This $347,193 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support the University of Washington's research on continuum kinetic studies of hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic instabilities. The project aims to address long-standing discrepancies between high-energy-density experiments and simulations, which could advance the understanding of plasma transport with implications for astrophysics, national security, energy, and spacecraft engineering. The research will utilize novel, computationally efficient numerical tools and algorithms to study plasma dynamics and transport. The award also includes a strongly integrated education plan to engage students from K-12 through graduate school in STEM research and career opportunities. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has an award date of October 1, 2023 and an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2024.
