This $220,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant awarded to the University of Washington aims to develop ultra-efficient deterministic numerical methods for multiscale kinetic plasma simulations. The primary objective is to address key challenges in simulating plasmas governed by the Boltzmann equation, including high dimensionality, complex collision operators, and inherent multiscale behaviors. The research will focus on employing the Dynamical Low-Rank Method, a dimension reduction technique, to track the dynamics of low-rank factors of the plasma solution and dramatically reduce computational costs. This 3-year award, effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, has the potential to provide high-fidelity kinetic plasma simulations across a range of regimes at a manageable cost. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
