U.S.-Japan Cooperative Research: Particle-Wall Interactions

该奖项将支持匹兹堡大学的George Klinzing教授和日本大阪大学的Yutaka Tsuji教授之间的一个合作研究项目，该项目旨在对气动输送的基本了解，以产生更真实的模型和模拟。Klinzing教授将专注于粒子壁相互作用的实验，而Tsuji教授将进行研究的建模和仿真方面的工作。匹兹堡能源技术中心的设施，如世界一流的激光薄片运动分析仪，将用于该项目。通过这种合作，更真实的模拟，从而有效地研究和设计气动输送系统将成为可能。研究人员将根据微观实验的结果建立适当的模型。

This award will support a cooperative research project between Professor George Klinzing of the University of Pittsburgh and Professor Yutaka Tsuji of Osaka University in Japan in the area of basic understanding of pneumatic transport to produce a more realistic model and simulation. Professor Klinzing will concentrate on the experiment on particle wall interactions while Professor Tsuji will carry out the modeling and simulation aspect of the research. Facilities at the Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center, such as the world class laser-sheet motion analyzer, will be utilized in this project. Through this collaboration, more realistic simulations and thus efficient study and design of pneumatic transport systems will be possible. The investigators will develop the proper model in concert with the experiment results of the micro-experiments.
