This $456,714 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports a study of large-scale self-organization in three-dimensional shear-flow-driven magnetized plasma turbulence. The project, led by the University of Wisconsin - Madison, aims to use computer simulations to explore how magnetic fields are created and become smooth in turbulent plasma systems, such as those observed in fusion...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $276,489 to Cornell University to support a research program studying the physics of turbulent plasmas in a laboratory setting. The award aims to develop new platforms for generating and measuring magnetized plasma turbulence, which has applications in astrophysics, fusion energy, and plasma physics. The research will utilize an imploding carbon wire-array...
This NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) project grant award of $228,930 to the University of Wisconsin System will explore the statistical mechanics of turbulent collisionless plasmas. Through computer simulations and new mathematical models, the research aims to improve the ability to predict the multiscale behavior of plasmas in astrophysical, space, and potential future fusion energy systems. The project will engage graduate students and include public outreach and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $597,571 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct experimental research on eruptive plasma behavior. This 3-year award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will enable Caltech to continue its investigation of how a seemingly benign, cold, and collisional plasma can suddenly erupt and generate energetic particles,...
This $904,240 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to understand the complexities of turbulence in high energy density plasmas. The University of Rochester is the prime awardee, and the project aims to characterize plasma turbulence across different scales using advanced interferometry and imaging diagnostics at the university's HADES pulsed power facility. The insights gained may...
This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports collaborative research on microscale plasma processes in shock and turbulent environments. The $341,464 award to Columbia University, spanning August 2024 to July 2027, will focus on two key areas: 1) particle heating and acceleration in shocks, and 2) thermodynamics and transport driven by large-scale turbulence. The research aims to develop...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $550,000 Project Grant to the University of Rochester under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct a laboratory-based study of astrophysical plasma turbulence. The 3-year award supports a collaboration between the University of Rochester and the University of Oxford, known as the TDYNO (Turbulent Dynamo) project, which aims to recreate and model astrophysically relevant magnetized plasmas in the laboratory using...
This $270,000 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, will support two research programs related to the mathematical theory of fluids, gases, and plasmas. The first program will examine non-uniqueness phenomena and instability in nonlinear partial differential equations, particularly those used in modeling incompressible fluid mechanics. The second program will investigate the structure of shock...
