Auburn University received a $350,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (Engineering program, CFDA 47.041) awarded April 1, 2026, with completion targeted for March 31, 2029. This collaborative research project investigates three-dimensional vorticity dynamics in vortex-ring interactions with wavy surfaces. The research will deliver high-quality experimental datasets and computational simulation results characterizing how specialized wavy surface geometries influence vortex behavior, including measurements of vortex deformation, stretching, flow separation, pressure distribution, and the formation of swirling structures at wall interfaces. Key deliverables include identification of patterns determining vortex stability, reconnection, and breakdown phenomena under single and repeated interaction conditions. Beyond research outputs, the project will generate educational products and workforce development materials, including training of students in experimental and computational fluid dynamics methods and development of hands-on demonstrations of fluid motion for K-12 audiences. The research outcomes are intended to support the design of improved cooling systems and reduced energy losses in advanced manufacturing, energy, and transportation applications where vortex-wall interactions are critical to system performance.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
