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

这项建议是参与新的多大学I/UCRC计划的三项建议之一，该计划旨在促进行业和大学对多阶段现象分析的研究计划。这个新的多大学中心将能够通过让每个成员的资源得到其合作伙伴的资源的增强来对该行业产生广泛的影响，这些合作伙伴也被建议获得规划补助金。这三个合作伙伴之一是密歇根州立大学、塔尔萨大学和阿克伦大学。拟议中的中心的目标是专注于解决计算多相传输现象的复杂挑战，这些现象在汽车、生化、化工、食品、采矿、石化和制药行业非常重要。新中心将专注于以下挑战性问题：-多相湍流-多相材料处理，-多相混合-基于纳米纤维的下一代过滤，以及多相分离。

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.
