The National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded the University of Notre Dame $362,164 on August 15, 2026, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to investigate crossflow vortex instabilities in boundary layer transition across flow speeds ranging from low-speed to hypersonic conditions. The research will use nonlinear parabolized stability equations and computational modeling to analyze how initial strength of stationary and traveling crossflow disturbances affects the final size of saturated crossflow vortices. The work addresses how boundary layer transition from laminar to turbulent flow increases aircraft drag and high-speed vehicle surface heating, with results intended to support more efficient aircraft design and improved thermal protection systems for high-speed vehicles. Performance occurs at Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, with a period of performance through July 31, 2029. The project will integrate K-12 educational outreach through Notre Dame's STEM Teacher Residency Program, aligning with NSF priorities in advanced manufacturing and engineering systems resilience.
