The University of Pittsburgh is the recipient of a $420,000 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The goal of this 3-year project is to advance the state-of-the-art in modeling and computation of multiphysics systems that model the physical interactions between two or more media, such as fluid flows, porous media, and elastic structures. The project consists of developing new mathematical models, designing stable and accurate numerical methods, and creating efficient algorithms for solving the resulting algebraic problems. The research will be applied to various biomedical and geoscience domains, including investigations of non-Newtonian and poroelastic effects in arterial flows, modeling of LDL transport and drug delivery, and tracing contaminants in coupled surface-subsurface hydrological systems. No subawards are planned under this grant.
