Presidential Young Investigator Award

在总统青年研究员计划的资助下，将对两相流的各个方面进行理论和模型研究。最初的重点将放在不相容粘弹性液体共挤出中的界面不稳定性、重粘性液体的水润滑管道输送的数值模拟以及同向流动液体之间的屈曲不稳定性。该模型将提高多层聚合物加工、原油输送和其他两相工程流动系统预测的真实性和准确性。

Supported by a grant under the Presidential Young Investigator program, theoretical and modeling research will be conducted on various aspects of two phase flow. Initial focus will be on interfacial instability in co extrusion of immiscible viscoelastic liquids, numerical simulation of water lubricated pipeline transport of heavy viscous liquids, and buckling instabilities between co flowing liquids. The modeling will permit increased realism and accuracy in the prediction of multilayer polymer processing, transport of crude oil, and other two phase engineering flow systems.
