EAR-PF: Modeling of dissolution along rough surfaces using computational fluid dynamics.

约瑟夫·迈尔博士获得美国国家科学基金会地球科学博士后奖学金，在阿肯色大学费耶特维尔分校开展一项研究和教育计划。Myre博士将建立一个计算流体动力学模型来研究表面粗糙度与导致可溶性基岩溶解的物理化学机制之间的关系。该模型将用于模拟在不同流动、化学和基岩条件下常见洞穴特征扇贝的发育。这些模拟将包括自然环境中的测量表面：铜头洞、菲顿洞和帕克斯牧场洞。本研究建立的模型将广泛应用于洞穴形成和地物形成演化的研究，最终有助于全面认识岩溶含水层及其对过去景观演化和古气候的记录。此外，Myre博士将通过课堂教学和直接参与项目的离散部分，为本科生提供教育导师，以获得数据收集、数据管理、计算实验和数据分析方面的研究经验。

Dr. Joseph Myre is awarded an NSF Earth Science Postdoctoral Fellowship to carry out a research and education plan at the University of Arkansas - Fayetteville. Dr. Myre will construct a computational fluid dynamics model to investigate the relationship between surface roughness and the physicochemical mechanisms which cause dissolution in soluble bedrock settings. This model will be used to simulate the development of a common cave feature, scallops, in different flow, chemical, and bedrock conditions. These simulations will incorporate measured surfaces from natural settings: Copperhead Cave, Fitton Cave, and Parks Ranch Cave. The model produced by this study will be widely applicable for studying cave formation and feature creation and evolution, ultimately aiding in the overall understanding of karst aquifers and their records of past landscape evolution and paleoclimate.Additionally, Dr. Myre will act as an educational mentor to undergraduate students through classroom teaching and by directly involving them in discrete portions of the project to gain research experience in data collection, data management, computational experiments, and data analysis.
