项目摘要

This PIRE project brings together two U.S. universities with six French and five Japanese institutions to focus on multiphase flows with technological applications. Multiphase flows are flowing streams of fluids that are mixtures of liquids with other liquids, gases, and/or solids; examples include oil and vinegar in salad dressing (liquid/liquid), water and air in soda (liquid/gas), or water and cement in concrete slurry (liquid/solid). Multiphase flows and their control play a vital role in many key technologies impacting the world economy, such as metallurgy, mineralogy, materials processing, devices for biological applications, and the automobile, pharmaceutical, aerospace, and energy industries. This project will advance materials engineering by investigating critical research challenges in multiphase flows - understanding and predicting the patterns, instabilities, and turbulence that arise - to develop and optimize materials and processes for industry. This PIRE team will integrate the results from across a related sets of experiments including: study of patterned flows and microfluidic mixing to improve micro-chip immunological assays; use of microactuators and microsensors to study instabilities and turbulence in multiphase systems; use of microgravity conditions to examine the role of fluid instabilities; experimental and computational study of dynamic flow of elongated particles/fibers; and expansion of current models of dispersed turbulent flow via large-scale simulation. International collaboration is essential to advancing our understanding of multiphase flows. Complex multiphase flow research requires high speed computation and high-level laboratory experimentation in which all three PIRE partner countries have substantial complementary resources. The University of Florida is internationally recognized for its programs in multiphase thermo-fluid mechanics and flow control. Both Japan and France sustain strong research emphases in thermal-fluid mechanics with key centers of excellence in multiphase flow. Japan emphasizes technology in areas such as materials science, microgravity science, bioassays and aeropropulsion while France emphasizes technology in nuclear energy, environment, bio-sensors, and flow control. This award leverages strong existing research collaborations and reciprocated access for U.S. scientists and students to facilities and expertise not available in the U.S. The international collaboration will also help industries in all three countries to engage highly-trained personnel in fields involving applications of multiphase science and technologies.The strength of this PIRE's educational program is its plan to train U.S. students as global professionals with versatility in professional abilities and attitudes that make them competitive in the global marketplace. U.S. graduate students will be supported to work in an international setting with foreign collaborators and advisors, functioning and communicating in a multi-cultural atmosphere. Unique educational opportunities include industry-relevant short courses, training in cutting-edge research, cultural awareness workshops, and international symposia and conferences. Internships in industrial research laboratories will give them access to networking opportunities with industry within an international context. Active recruitment of students from underrepresented groups will contribute to diversifying and internationalizing the body of U.S. students earning STEM graduate degrees. A certificate program in Multiphase Science and Technology will be developed and offered through online distance learning modules, thus making it available to international partners and their students, interested students at other U.S. universities, and as continuing education for industrial partners. U.S. researchers will also build skill sets needed for research in international contexts via cross-collaboration with international partners and co-advising foreign students. This PIRE project is likely to have significant institutional impacts. It will strengthen and internationalize research networks that address complicated multiphase technological problems. It will help to build up an international engineering research center of excellence in complex fluids and multiphase flows with partnerships between international industry and academe that yield long-term benefit to the U.S. economy. Such partnerships will also encourage industry participation in education, international research cooperation, and student internships. The partner institutions are committed to exploring joint and dual degree programs, which would further internationalize the U.S. institutions and enrich collaborative opportunities for future students and faculty alike. Through these multifaceted initiatives and activities, this PIRE project will serve as a model for both U.S. and international partner institutions as they work to internationalize their own research and education portfolios. U.S. partners include the University of Florida and Florida State University. French partners include Université de Poitiers, Université Lille 1 Sciences et Technologies, Université Paris-Sud 11, Institut de Mécanique des Fluides de Toulouse (IMFT), and Université de Provence Aix-Marseille 1, and Université Bordeaux 1. Japanese partners include the University of Tokyo, Tokyo University of Science, Kyoto University, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), and Tohoku University.This PIRE project is cofunded by NSF's Office of International Science and Engineering and the Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems. NSF's support of this PIRE project leverages existing funding from the Embassy of France's Partner University Fund and Chateaubriand Fellowship, the University of Florida (UF), the Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion (FCAAP), fellowships from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science and the facilities of UF's Paris Research Center (France) and its Particle Engineering Research Center.

这个PIRE项目将两所美国大学与六个法国和五个日本机构汇集在一起，以专注于具有技术应用的多相流。多相流是流动流的流动流，这些流是液体混合的流体流，以及其他液体，气体和/或固体；例子包括沙拉敷料（液体/液体），苏打水（液体/气体）中的水和空气，或混凝土浆液中的水和水泥（液体/固体）中的油和空气。多相流及其控制在影响世界经济的许多关键技术中起着至关重要的作用，例如冶金，矿物学，材料加工，生物应用设备以及汽车，制药，航空航天和能源行业。该项目将通过调查多相流中的关键研究挑战来推动材料工程 - 理解和预测出现的模式，不稳定性和动荡 - 以开发和优化行业的材料和流程。该海盗团队将整合相关实验集的结果，包括：研究图案流和微流体混合，以改善微芯片免疫学测定；使用显微散热器和微传感器来研究多相系统中的不稳定性和湍流；使用微重力条件来检查流体不稳定性的作用；伸长颗粒/纤维的动态流的实验和计算研究；通过大规模模拟的当前分散湍流模型的扩展。国际合作对于促进我们对多种流量的理解至关重要。复杂的多相流研究需要高速计算和高级实验室实验，其中所有三个PIRE合作伙伴国家都有大量的互补资源。佛罗里达大学因其在多相热融合力学和流量控制方面的计划而受到国际认可。日本和法国都在热流体力学方面具有强大的研究重点，其多相流的卓越中心。日本强调了材料科学，微重力科学，生物测定和航空繁殖等领域的技术，而法国则强调核能，环境，生物传感器和流量控制中的技术。该奖项利用了美国科学家和学生在美国无法获得的设施和专家的互惠访问权，国际合作还将帮助所有三个国家 /地区的行业参与多相科学和技术的领域中的高度训练的人员。该PIRE的教育计划的实力是该计划的全球专业人士的计划，使其成为全球专业人士的专业能力和专业能力的计划。美国的研究生将得到与外国合作者和顾问的国际环境合作，在多元文化氛围中运作和沟通。独特的教育机会包括与行业相关的短期课程，尖端研究的培训，文化意识研讨会以及国际研讨会和会议。国际研究实验室将使他们在国际背景下获得与行业的网络机会。积极招募人数不足的团体的学生将有助于多样化和国际化获得STEM研究生学位的美国学生的身体。通过在线距离学习模块将开发和提供多相科学和技术的证书计划，从而使国际合作伙伴及其学生，其他美国大学的学生以及为工业合作伙伴继续教育。美国研究人员还将通过与国际合作伙伴进行交叉合作并共同努力外国学生来建立在国际背景下进行研究所需的技能集。这个PIRE项目可能会产生重大的机构影响。它将加强和国际化研究网络，以解决复杂的多相技术问题。这将有助于建立国际工程研究中心的复杂烟道和多相流，并与国际工业和学术界之间的合作伙伴关系，从而为美国经济带来长期利益。这种伙伴关系还将鼓励行业参与教育，国际研究合作和学生国际。合作伙伴机构致力于探索联合和双学位课程，这将进一步国际化美国机构，并为未来的学生和教职员工提供丰富的合作机会。通过这些多方面的举措和活动，该PIRE项目将成为美国和国际合作伙伴机构的典范，以便国际化自己的研究和教育投资组合。美国合作伙伴包括佛罗里达大学和佛罗里达州立大学。法国合作伙伴包括德大学，里尔大学1科学及技术，巴黎大学11号大学，学院，德卢斯（IMFT）的德卢斯（IMFT），以及普罗旺斯·阿克斯·麦克雷尔大学1和大学博尔达大学和大学bordeaux大学1。 Tohoku University。此PIRE项目由NSF国际科学与工程办公室以及化学，生物工程，环境和运输系统的施加。 NSF对这项PIRE项目的支持利用了法国合作伙伴大学基金会和ChateAubriand奖学金，佛罗里达大学（UF），佛罗里达大学高级航空港口（FCAAP）的奖学金，来自日本科学和UF研究中心（FRIS paris Research Center（paris france int ant Ints sermation intersy inters ant）的日本促进学会的奖学金，及其汇集。
