This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $150,000.00 to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to study asymptotic phenomena in reaction-diffusion, stochastic, and fluid equations. The project aims to identify and justify asymptotic behavior in partial differential equations originating from scientific applications, including ecological invasion, atomic deposition, and fluid shock formation. The work will combine analytical and probabilistic methods to analyze long-time and white-noise limits of physically motivated stochastic PDEs. The project also involves investigating the effect of weak viscosity on internal shock formation in the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. This research has the potential to shed light on a variety of complex systems and will include undergraduate and graduate student mentorship, with a focus on supporting students from underrepresented backgrounds. The award period runs from January 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027.
