This Project Grant award, valued at $220,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines, doing business as Colorado School of Mines. The award funds a collaborative research project to investigate the coupled dynamics of fluid-solid systems with mass and momentum flux, focusing on auto-rotating devices that respond to the injection or withdrawal of fluid. The work combines experiments, simulations, mathematical modeling, and analysis to advance the understanding and control of flux-driven fluid-solid interactions, with potential applications in areas leveraging clean and sustainable energy sources like wind, water currents, and waves. The project aims to develop appropriate methods for determining how forces and motions can be generated and controlled for open structures whose complex geometries interact with flows produced by sources and sinks. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has an award period from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027.
