The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded Arizona State University $369,997 on September 1, 2026, to develop theoretical and computational tools for analyzing fluid-metamaterial interactions in turbulent flow systems under NSF Engineering (CFDA 47.041). The project develops a new theoretical framework based on input-output formulation and resolvent analysis to quantify linear amplification of harmonic disturbances in fluid-metamaterial systems. This framework will systematically investigate fluid-metamaterial interactions across a broad range of flow conditions, enabling selective suppression or enhancement of fluid waves by tuning the metamaterial's frequency response. The work aims to transform design and control of mechanical systems interacting with fluids, with applications in aerospace, energy systems, and manufacturing technologies to increase resilience, durability, and energy efficiency of engineered systems. Arizona State University's Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Administration (Orspa) serves as the recipient and administrative entity for the award. The period of performance runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029, with work performed at Tempe, Arizona. The project includes research and outreach opportunities for K-12, undergraduate, and graduate students to expand Arizona's STEM workforce and educational infrastructure.
