California Institute of Technology (Caltech) received a $575,000 Project Grant awarded February 1, 2026, through the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041), with a completion date of January 31, 2031. This CAREER award supports fundamental research into wall-modeled large-eddy simulations (LES) for complex turbulent flows. The primary deliverable is the development of improved turbulence modeling approaches that account for subgrid-scale anisotropy—the directional characteristics of small-scale turbulent motion near solid surfaces. Caltech will analyze high-resolution flow data under various conditions, including both attached and separated flows, to identify critical small-scale features affecting predictive accuracy. The research will culminate in validated modeling frameworks that enhance prediction reliability for engineering applications in aircraft, ships, and energy systems while maintaining computational efficiency. The award integrates research and education objectives by training students in advanced fluid dynamics and computational modeling techniques while conducting outreach activities to promote scientific literacy. Deliverables will include new near-wall turbulence models evaluated against challenging flow configurations and experimental measurements relevant to practical engineering applications. This work aligns with NSF priorities supporting advanced manufacturing and addresses a critical gap in current modeling tools' ability to predict complex flow separation phenomena that influence drag, efficiency, and system stability.Federal Grant Award Summary
