The National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CBET) awarded the University of Pennsylvania a $396,789 Project Grant (CFDA 47.041 - Engineering) on February 15, 2026, for collaborative research investigating coherent structures in elastic and elasto-inertial turbulence. Scheduled for completion by January 31, 2029, this joint initiative with the United Kingdom's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) combines laboratory experiments, computer simulations, and machine learning tools to develop improved mathematical models that capture the flow behaviors of polymeric fluids. The project addresses critical gaps between theoretical predictions and experimental observations in viscoelastic flows, with applications across advanced manufacturing, inkjet printing, energy production, and food processing industries. Key deliverables include quantitative experimental and simulation data on flow statistics and dynamical features; machine learning methods for inferring optimal model parameters and reconstructing polymer stress fields; computational and data-analysis tools to be shared with the scientific community; and trained undergraduate and graduate students in fluid mechanics and data science. By integrating advanced analytical approaches with practical experimental validation, the research will support the development of more energy- and cost-efficient processing technologies, improve material design capabilities, and contribute to NSF's strategic priorities in artificial intelligence and machine learning applications for advanced manufacturing.Federal Project Grant Summary
