The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $354,405 Project Grant to Arizona State University to develop a modeling framework for large-eddy simulation of turbulent premixed flames. The goal is to discover subgrid-scale models that accurately capture energy backscatter effects in turbulent combustion, which can enable more efficient design of aerospace propulsion systems. The project will leverage high-performance computing and data-driven techniques to create physically consistent turbulence models for applications in areas like particle suspension, atmospheric science, and nuclear fusion. As part of the educational activities, the university plans to develop video materials and conduct outreach to promote interest in fluid mechanics and engage undergraduate students. The award period is from May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2027.
