This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program provides $306,369 in funding to the University of Delaware to conduct computational modeling and education research on the multiscale simulation of nanofluid assembly for the design of smart materials. The research aims to gain a fundamental understanding of how microscale self-assembly processes in particle-stabilized multiphase fluids can be used to control the mesoscale phase morphology and rheological properties. This will involve employing large-scale lattice Boltzmann simulations to systematically explore the use of magnetic particles and external magnetic fields to manipulate the formation of fluid interfaces, droplets, and arrested phase states. The project also seeks to develop a data-driven active learning approach for nanofluid assembly to support the discovery and design of new materials. In addition to the research, the project will provide opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students to develop advanced computational skills and integrate diverse aspects of multiscale modeling, high-performance computing, and research software engineering into the curriculum. The award period spans from May 2024 to July 2025.
