Optimal Flows for the Energy Transfer

In this project, we aim to numerically analyze the following conjecture “optimal flows for energy transfer correspond to reconnection of anti-parallel vortex tubes”. We will be tackling this optimization problem using a novel method employed by Professor Protas’ research group over the past few years. This project comes as a way to maintain a strong academic relationship between the two researchers and their research groups. The anticipated results will address an open question and potentially smooth the path for further research on this and related problems.
