复杂的流体和龙卷风可以通过研究耦合的流动和传输来数学地理解。复杂流体用于许多重要领域，包括医学、军事和石油工业，仅举几例。壳牌集团最近的实验结果表明，在蠕虫状胶束流体中观察到的剪切诱导结构可以有效地用于提高石油采收率。该研究将为蠕虫状胶束流体的定量研究提供一个理想的工具。龙卷风是一种复杂的气象现象，通常与强对流大气条件有关。根据NOAA/国家气象局的数据，2021年已确认发生超过797次龙卷风。由于全球变暖，龙卷风也变得越来越频繁和严重。拟议的研究将阐明对龙卷风发生的理解，这对于制定适当的龙卷风警报至关重要，从而避免灾难性的破坏和伤亡。该项目将开发保守的，离散的最大值原理保持，和有效的数值方案，可用于模拟耦合流和运输出现在重要的研究领域，如复杂的流体和龙卷风。这些新方法将进行数学分析，并通过使用一类新的快速求解器来大大降低计算瓶颈的复杂性。PI在该项目中开发的框架将使研究人员能够解决数十年来计算流变学家难以理解的各种物理参数。兼容的窗口物理学通知神经网络将尝试解决正则化的复杂流体。该项目将提出一个新的龙卷风模型，用于了解蒸汽-粒子反应、对流和扩散中的极端微天气模式。特别是，本项目将阐明和填补龙卷风的数学模型和现象之间的差距，从而加深对龙卷风发生的理解。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Complex fluids and tornadoes can be understood mathematically by studying a coupled flow and transports. Complex fluids are used in many important areas, including medicine, the military, and the oil industry, to name a few. Recent experimental results by Shell groups show that the shear induced structure observed in the wormlike micellar fluids can be effectively used for enhanced oil recovery. The proposed research will provide a desired quantitative understanding of wormlike micellar fluids. Tornadoes are complex meteorological phenomena that are often associated with severe convective atmospheric conditions. According to NOAA/National Weather Service, more than 797 tornadoes occurrences have already been confirmed in 2021. Tornadoes are becoming more frequent and severe due to global warming as well. The proposed research will elucidate the understanding of tornadogenesis, which is crucial to make a proper tornado warning issue, thereby avoiding catastrophic damage and casualties. This project will develop conservative, discrete maximum principle preserving, and efficient numerical schemes that can be used for simulating coupled flow and transports that arise in important areas of research, such as complex fluids and tornadoes. These new methods will be analyzed mathematically and enhanced by using a class of new fast solvers to drastically reduce the complexity of computational bottlenecks. The framework developed by the PI in this project will enable researchers to tackle a wide spectrum of physical parameters that have been elusive for computational rheologists for decades. Compatible window-wise physics informed neural network will be attempted to solve regularized complex fluids. The project will present a new tornado model for the understanding of extreme micro-weather patterns in vapor-to-particle reaction, convection, and diffusion. In particular, this project will elucidate and fill the gap between mathematical modeling and phenomena of tornadoes, thereby deepening the understanding of tornadogenesis. A data-driven deep neural networks will be designed for determining the unknown physical parameters in the tornado model as well.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
