The interaction of small and large particles, which occurs, for example, in the formation of clouds and rain, cannot yet be fully modeled mathematically. The CRISP project aims to make this possible using a new mathematical method.
Goals
CRISP stands for "Coupled renormalized integrals for snow and proteins" and is intended to help model complex systems in which many small particles and large background fields react with each other. Such systems are, for example, clouds, in which small droplets form, grow and form clouds, which can become individual droplets again. The two states - "discrete" droplets and "continuous" clouds - can each be described by separate models. What is missing, however, is a link between the two models in order to model the interactions between the two models or states.
Using a so-called path integral formalism, both "worlds" are to be linked and the dynamics of both systems analyzed simultaneously. The new method can enable decisive breakthroughs in modeling. This can be used in meteorology, but also in medicine when researching diseases such as Alzheimer's.
The consortium of the CZS Wildcard Project CRISP consists of Jun. Prof. Dr. Dr. Michael te Vrugt and Prof. Dr. Peter Spichtinger from the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and Dr. Rosalba Garcia-Millan from King's College London.
