Description

About the NASA Postdoctoral Program

The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers unique research opportunities to highly-talented scientists to engage in ongoing NASA research projects at a NASA Center, NASA Headquarters, or at a NASA-affiliated research institute. These one- to three-year fellowships are competitive and are designed to advance NASA's missions in space science, Earth science, aeronautics, space operations, exploration systems, and astrobiology.

Description:

Long-term basic research focuses on integrating nonlinear dynamics, bifurcation theory, and chaotic dynamics with computational physics and computational sciences. We are particularly interested in improving the understanding of numerical uncertainties and constructing advanced algorithms for practical aeroscience and astrobiology computations. This includes using concepts from nonlinear dynamical systems theory to guide the development of temporally and spatially adaptive numerical schemes that can improve the reliability, nonlinear stability, accuracy, convergence, and efficiency over existing algorithms for steady and unsteady fluid-flow equations that display strong nonlinearity and multiscale physical processes. The nonhomogeneous partial differential governing equations are both hyperbolic and parabolic, with application to flow problems in the NASA Access to Space program, Deep Space Exploration, High Performance Computing and Communications, Planetary and Atmospheric Sciences, and the Computational Astrobiology Initiative. Specific topics include combustion, nonequilibrium reacting flow, high-speed shock-boundary-layer interactions, and direct numerical simulation of turbulent flows.
