This $200,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports an experimental investigation of how mangrove root structures influence coastal wave and current dynamics. The University of Rhode Island is the primary awardee, with no sub-awards planned. The key objectives are to: (1) evaluate how mangrove root morphology affects hydrodynamic processes, (2) examine how currents modify wave dynamics in mangrove environments, and (3) analyze...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate the interactions between internal waves and submesoscale currents in the ocean's bottom boundary layer. The total award is $418,382 over a period of 3 years, from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027. The research will combine theoretical concepts, analyses of existing measurements, and computer modeling to assess how these wave-current interactions affect mixing and...
This $222,606 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program aims to drive convergence of ocean wave energy research for empowering remote coastal communities. The 5-year project, beginning September 2024, brings together a multidisciplinary team from Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to develop a roadmap and screen leading wave energy converter (WEC) design concepts. Through...
This $654,897 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund collaborative research on swash zone dynamics driven by obliquely incident waves. The University of Delaware will lead laboratory experiments, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulations to expand understanding of three-dimensional flow and sediment transport patterns in the swash zone under a range of wave conditions and angles of incidence....
This $254,493 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of a shallow water wave attenuation system by Botelmot Research LLC from Ormond Beach, Florida. The system aims to advance oyster reef restoration and protect small docks through advancing the understanding of individual oyster reef formation and improving coastal infrastructure resilience. It will be a non-toxic, bio-compatible prototype designed to reduce wave energy in shallow waters without restricting water...
This $599,262 National Science Foundation award under the Engineering (47.041) program will fund research at Princeton University from June 2023 to May 2026 to advance knowledge in water-shell structure interaction and enable innovative coastal resilience approaches. The research aims to discover efficient hydrodynamic thin-shell structural forms through integrative modeling, experiments, and machine learning. Specific objectives are to determine forms suited for coastal structures like seawalls...
This $115,907 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) aims to drive research convergence on ocean wave energy conversion for powering remote coastal communities. The project, awarded to East Carolina University, will develop a convergence roadmap, screen and down-select 2-3 lead wave energy converter (WEC) design concepts, and investigate the leading designs through transdisciplinary co-design and optimization. The research...
The University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) has received a $307,226.00 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study recirculating flows at the nearshore zone where waves break, the surf zone. The project will use mathematical models and existing measurements to explore three hypotheses: (A) that the recirculations can be identified from shore-based images, (B) that the recirculating...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $568,531 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to study recirculating flows and eddies in the nearshore surf zone. The 3-year grant under NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will use mathematical models, available measurements, and artificial intelligence to explore three hypotheses related to surfzone eddy dynamics and their connection to wave properties, energy dissipation, and exchange...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will enable Villanova University to acquire a unidirectional sediment-feed tilting flume (USTF) system. The $282,594 award will facilitate collaborative research and education with partner institutions on two major themes: 1) green urban stormwater infrastructure, and 2) river processes and urban flood impacts. The USTF system will be used to study urban stormwater management, fluvial...
