Collaborative Research: Planning Grant for I/UCRC on Experimental, Theoretical, and Computational Analysis of Multiphase Phenomena

该提案是I/UCRC每个计划参与的三个提案之一，旨在促进工业界和大学对多相现象分析感兴趣的研究项目。这个新的多大学中心将能够对行业产生广泛的影响，通过其合作伙伴的资源来增强每个成员的资源，这些合作伙伴也被推荐获得规划赠款。这三个合作伙伴，其中之一是密歇根州立大学，塔尔萨大学和阿克伦大学。该中心的目标是专注于解决计算多相输运现象的复杂挑战，这在汽车、生物化学、化学、食品、采矿、石化和制药行业具有重要意义。新中心将专注于以下具有挑战性的问题：多相湍流、多相材料处理、多相混合、基于纳米级纤维的下一代过滤和多相分离。

This proposal is one of three proposals to each plan participation in a new multi-university I/UCRC that aims to promote a research program of interest to both industry and universities on the analysis of multiphase phenomena. This new multi-university center will be able to have a broad impact on the industry through having each member's resources being enhanced by those of its partners which are also being recommended to receive a planning grant. The three partners, of which this is one are the Michigan State University, University of Tulsa, and University of Akron.The proposed Center's goal is to focus on tackling the sophisticated challenges of computational multiphase transport phenomena which are of importance in the automotive, biochemical, chemical, food, mining, petrochemical an pharmaceutical industries.The new center will focus on challenging problems in:- Multiphase turbulent flows -Multiphase materials processing,- Multiphase mixing- Next generation filtration based on nanoscale fibers, and multiphase separations.
