The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program, awarded the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) a $240,000 Project Grant to study singularities and long-term dynamics in models of fluids and reactive processes. The 3-year project, running from August 2024 to July 2027, will focus on two main objectives: 1) Analyzing the creation of small-scale structures and singularities in fluid dynamics models, including for fluids in porous media, atmospheric science, and fluid motion near boundaries, and 2) Investigating the large-scale behavior of reactive processes, such as the propagation of forest fires and bacterial colonies, in heterogeneous media. The project aims to advance scientific understanding in these critical areas, provide research opportunities for students and junior scientists, and demonstrate the effectiveness of theoretical models in describing real-world phenomena.
