Gut Microbes: Positive effects on negative responses to environmental stressors (equipment supplement)

Abstract

The PI will develop the theoretical core for a novel stochastic order-reduction technique for turbulent flows and nonlinear wave systems exhibiting extreme event behavior. The new technique will combine the dynamical system equations as well as available spectral information. Also, the PI will apply the new technique on a specific turbulent flow a cool jet in a cross-flow of a hot gas. Through the implementation of a reduced-order methodology on this flow the contractor will assess the capacity of the new scheme to predict the properties-of-interest for the flow when various parameters are modified. Finally, the PI will apply the new technique on the development of reducer-order models for the description of rare or extreme events in nonlinear wave equations (modeling water waves). The reduced-order models will be able to measure accurately the probability of occurrence of an extreme event using the spectrum of the nonlinear system - information that is usually available for these problems through measurements.
