This $313,202 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research on modeling and analysis of particle-laden flows. The five-year study addresses fundamental mathematical problems related to these complex fluid dynamics, including flux functions in conservation law models, singular shock solutions, and flow behavior in spiral separators used in mining. The research is expected to lead to improved understanding of particle-laden flow physics and new modeling approaches. This project also provides research training opportunities for two doctoral students, five undergraduates, and two postdocs at the University of California, Los Angeles, which is the sole awardee. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
