Mathematical Sciences Research Equipment

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This is an equipment request submitted under the activity Grants For Scientific Computing Research Equipment For The Mathematical Sciences program. The project involves the purchase of special purpose scientific equipment dedicated to the support of research in the mathematical sciences. This equipment is required jointly by several research projects and would be difficult to justify on one project alone. National Science Foundation research equipment support is coupled with discounts and contributions of equipment from manufacturers and significant cost-sharing from the submitting institution. This project provides an example of university, industrial, and government cooperation in the support of basic research in the mathematical sciences. The equipment will support research on several projects, including theoretical and computational aspects of turbulence in incompressible flows, numerical studies of collisionless plasmas, and theoretical and computational aspects of discontinuous, compressible flows.
