这个小企业创新研究第一阶段项目将开发创新的，无网格的，两相，颗粒，不可压缩湍流的数值模型。其目的是提供一个高保真度的模型，用于模拟和分析众多的环境和工业流动应用，其中颗粒运动是一个关键特征。潜在的好处包括更准确和及时地预测健康危害，以及针对常规、意外或有目的的化学和生物排放所产生的有毒颗粒或污染物云的后期动态制定减少战略。这 工作将适用于大气中污染物的动力学、液体中的微粒流动、两相湍流混合和微粒分散等。 这项革命性的技术将通过扩展其处理复杂流动的能力来扩大其潜在的计算流体动力学（CFD）市场份额，这些复杂流动对飞机制造，汽车制造和发电非常重要。

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop innovative, grid-free, numerical models of two-phase, particulate, incompressible turbulent flows. The intent is to provide a high fidelity model for the simulation and analysis of numerous environmental and industrial flow applications wherein particulate motion is a critical feature. Among the potential benefits are more accurate and timely predictions of health hazards and abatement strategies for the late-time dynamics of toxic particulates or contaminant clouds arising from routine, accidental or purposeful chemical and biological releases. This work will be applicable to the dynamics of pollutants in the atmosphere, particulate flows in liquids, two-phase turbulent mixing and particulate dispersion, among others. This revolutionary technology will expand its potential computational fluid dynamics (CFD) market share by extending its capabilities to treat complex flows which are of great importance to including: aircraft manufacturing, automobile manufacturing and power generation.
