  1. Fluid Dynamics Program • William W. Schultz • Program Director • Three changes this fall: • Plesniak  Schultz • CTS  CBET • FDH  FD

  2. TURBULENCE LES and SGS modeling, DNS, high Re experiments, transition, instrument development, flow control, 3D boundary layers, multi-phase turbulent flows COMPLEX FLUIDS Rheology, instability, physics of polymer solutions, DNA, MD Simulations WAVES and HYDRAULICS Wave-seabed or -structure interactions, breaking waves, cavitation, sediment transport GENERAL FLUID MECHANICS Droplet dynamics, gravitational plumes, gas-liquid interfaces COMPRESSIBLE FLOW Richtmeyer-Meshkov instability, hypersonics MICRO/NANO SCALE FLOWS Microfluidics, biomedical microdevices, nanoscale rheology ENVIRONMENTAL FLUID MECHANICS urban fluid mechanics BIO-FLUID MECHANICS flows in biomedical assistive devices, biomimetics FDH: Current Research Focus

  3. TURBULENCE, STABILITY & FLOW CONTROL25% RHEOLOGY - Complex fluids and polymer processing 15% WAVES, HYDRAULICS & ENVIRONMENTAL FLUID MECHANICS 15% GENERAL FLUID MECHANICS & COMPRESSIBLE FLOWS 15% MICRO / NANO FLUIDICS 15% INSTRUMENTATION 10% BIO FLUID DYNAMICS 5% FD: Funding Distribution trends

  4. Submission Windows (unsolicited proposals): September & March. Emphasis: Innovative ideas with significant impact on science & engineering Exploratory projects with potential for breakthrough results Fundamental, high-risk / high-gain projects with clear objectives and potential for discovery of new phenomena Broader Impacts -- integration of research & education, outreach, involvement of underrepresented groups, societal issues Typical Level of Support: 1-2 Investigator Regular Grants 250 - 450k/3yrs Small Grants for Exploratory Research 30 - 100k/yr (up to 2 yrs) CAREER Awards 400k /5 yrs PIs encouraged to include requests for research instrumentation in regular unsolicited proposals (~50-60k per proposal) Trends in Funding

  5. Special Solicitations: Nanoscale Science and Engineering (NSE) – (NIRT & NER grants) Cyberinfrastructure Sensors and Sensor Networks Biocomplexity in the Environment Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Awards Mathematical Sciences Priority Area (MSPA) Interactions with Industry: Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) Educational and Training Grants: Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Research Experience for Teachers (RET) Grants and Supplements for International Collaboration (INT) Funding Opportunities

  6. Special Interest Programs • CAREER Awards Program Targets the career development of beginning investigators • Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) Targets economic stimulation of specific States • SGER Awards Targets high-risk exploratory research; priority is given to young investigators and underrepresented groups • ADVANCE Program Focus on increasing representation of women in academic science and engineering careers • Various Educational Grant Solicitations

  7. ENCOURAGES INDUSTRY-UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIPS - Faculty and Students in Industry (up to 1 year) - Industry Engineers & Scientists in Academe (up to 1 year) - Industry-University Collaborative Projects (3 years) SUPPORTED BY All NSF Directorates and Other Agencies since FY 1996 GOALI IS NOT FOR ROUTINE DESIGN PROJECTS, SHORT-TERM RESULTS OR TROUBLESHOOTING OF INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES FACULTY MUST BE INVOLVED IN FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH CARRIED OUT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH A MORE APPLIED RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IN INDUSTRY Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI)

  8. Non-invasive Measurement of Blood Flow with Echo-PIV CTS-0114109 PI: Jean Hertzberg University of Colorado at Boulder Prosthetic Heart Valve Echo-PIV map instantaneous, local fluid velocity in pulsitile tube flow, simulating blood flow in arteries.

  9. Universality of velocity and scalars in turbulence: Experimental tests and implications for subfilter-scale models CTS-0120317 PI: Charles Meneveau Johns Hopkins University Contrary to common wisdom, the large coherent structures in turbulent flows, have a direct impact upon energy transfer occurring at much smaller scales. This casts doubts upon the universality of fine-scale structure in turbulence and general applicability of standard eddy-viscosity model

  10. Effects of Nanoparticles on Fluid Rheological Properties CTS-0296166 PI: Michael E. Mackay Michigan State University Adding nanoparticles to polymers (plastics) produces a viscosity decrease, a result at odds with the classical Einstein prediction.
