Collaborative Research: Operational Proposal for I/UCRC on Multiphase Transport Phenomena

密歇根州立大学和塔尔萨大学的一群教员在多相传输现象领域组织了一个竞争前、多大学、多学科的NSF工业/大学合作研究中心(I/UCRC)。该中心的研究将集中于进一步开发、评估和部署下一代湍流和非湍流流动多相模型以及快速设计和分析过程和设备的计算方法，用于汽车、化工和石化行业中遇到的广泛应用。资金将用于促进两所大学产业界成员和学术研究小组之间的长期协同伙伴关系。将与该中心的行业成员合作，确定以问题为导向的具体研究项目。

A group of faculty at Michigan State University and the University of Tulsa has organized a pre-competitive, multi-university, multi-disciplinary NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) in the area of Multiphase Transport Phenomena.Center research will focus on the further development, evaluation, and deployment of next generation multiphase models for turbulent and non-turbulent flows as well as computational methods for rapid design and analysis of process and equipment for a wide range of applications encountered in, but not limited to, the automotive, chemical, and petrochemical industries. Funds will be used to promote long-term synergistic partnerships among industrial members and academic research groups at the two universities. Specific problem-oriented research projects will be identified in collaboration with industrial members of the Center.
