Application of Stochastic Theories and 3D-PTV Experiments to Study Anomalous Dispersion

0073262Cushman该计划是进行三维粒子跟踪测速实验在多孔介质中嵌入的非均匀性，通过使用世界一流的设备，以扩展以前的工作，研究速度场和分散在均匀多孔介质中的简单非均匀系统与不同的大小和形状的颗粒。 两粒子关联的实验是由一位博士后在意大利的一个世界级的实验室进行的。 PI正在制定一项战略，以发展适用于异质介质的（非局部）色散理论。 这笔资金将用于加强和维持一个否则将很快关闭的设施的工作。

0073262CushmanThe plan is to conduct 3D particle tracking velocimetry experiments in porous media with imbedded heterogeneities by using a world-class apparatus to extend previous work to study velocity fields and dispersion in homogeneous porous media to simple heterogeneous systems with varied sizes and shapes of particles. The exeriments to observe two-particle correlations are being conducted at a world-class facility in Italy by a post-doc. The PI is working out a strategy to develop (non-local) dispersion theories applicable to heterogeneous media. This funding is to augment and sustain work at a facility that would otherwise be closed down soon.
