Over the three-year period from July 2022 to June 2025, Brown University researchers will conduct qualitative and quantitative studies of partial differential equations describing fluid motions in galaxies, gases, and plasmas....
- This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports fundamental research aimed at advancing the mathematical analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations. The research has three main focus areas: (1) studying fluid dynamics problems with free boundaries, such as water waves, tsunamis, and hurricanes; (2) investigating the dynamics of gases and plasmas under physical kinetic boundary conditions,...
The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded The Trustees of Princeton University $300,000 on August 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to study nonlinear phenomena in fluids and plasmas with applications to fusion research and astrophysics. The research addresses mathematical models and computational approaches to three core problems. The project includes a novel mathematical study of radiation effects on plasma dynamics; mathematical models for magnetic reconnection of plasma, relevant to solar flares and plasma turbulence in fusion contexts; and computational models of plasma relaxation to magneto-hydrostatic equilibria in complex geometries applicable to stellarator design. Work will introduce new perspectives in radiative kinetics, develop non-diffusive nonlocal approximation schemes for relaxation dynamics, and examine magnetic reconnection through singularity formation and smooth two-fluid dynamics, specifically via mechanisms driven by electron inertia rather than magnetic resistivity. The project also includes training and mentoring of postdoctoral associates, graduate students, and undergraduates. Performance occurs at Princeton, New Jersey from August 15, 2026 through July 31, 2029. No sub-awards are planned.
