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

密歇根州立大学和塔尔萨大学的一组教师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）。中心研究将集中在进一步的发展、评估、下一代湍流和非湍流多相模型的部署湍流以及快速设计和分析过程和设备的计算方法，广泛应用于汽车、化学和石化工业，但不限于此。 资金将用于促进两所大学的工业成员和学术研究团体之间的长期协同伙伴关系。 将与该中心的工业成员合作确定具体的面向问题的研究项目。

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.
