The Department of the Air Force awarded a $198,322 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800) on July 16, 2021 for completion by July 15, 2023.
The grant funding will support basic research to improve global magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the interaction of the solar wind with Earth's magnetosphere. Dr. Mostafa El-Alaoui of the Catholic University of America will receive a sub-award to conduct global MHD simulations and particle tracing techniques to analyze modeling and simulation results, devoting three months per year to the effort. The research aims to maintain a strong Air Force research infrastructure and prevent technological surprise in scientific areas relevant to its needs, as described in the program details.
