The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $179,471 Project Grant to Trustees of Tufts College, doing business as Trustee of Tufts College, for the project "CAREER: UNVEILING THE STABILITY, RHEOLOGY, AND TOPOLOGY OF ACTIVE FLUIDS." This project will combine theoretical analysis and numerical simulations to develop a computational framework for modeling, analyzing, and controlling active fluids - a new class of liquid materials with promising applications. The research aims to quantify the unusual material properties and transport mechanisms of active fluids, which differ from classical equilibrium systems. The project will provide undergraduate and graduate student training, create K-12 outreach opportunities, and develop a virtual reality package to interpret research results and enhance classroom teaching. The virtual reality package and open-source computational codes will be made publicly available to benefit students and researchers in applied science and engineering.
