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.

该项目将两所美国大学、六所法国大学和五所日本大学联合起来，重点研究多相流的技术应用。多相流是液体与其他液体、气体和/或固体的混合物的流动流；例如沙拉酱中的油和醋（液体/液体），苏打水中的水和空气（液体/气体），或混凝土浆中的水和水泥（液体/固体）。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、航空航天和能源工业。该项目将通过研究多相流的关键研究挑战——理解和预测多相流的模式、不稳定性和湍流——来推进材料工程，为工业开发和优化材料和工艺。该团队将整合来自相关实验集的结果，包括：研究模式流动和微流体混合以改进微芯片免疫分析；利用微致动器和微传感器研究多相系统的不稳定性和湍流性；利用微重力条件研究流体不稳定性的作用；细长颗粒/纤维动态流动的实验与计算研究并通过大尺度模拟对现有的分散湍流模型进行了扩展。国际合作对于增进我们对多相流的理解至关重要。复杂的多相流研究需要高速计算和高水平的实验室实验，在这方面，三个伙伴国家都有大量的互补资源。佛罗里达大学是国际公认的多相热流体力学和流动控制专业。日本和法国都非常重视热流体力学的研究，重点建立了多相流研究中心。日本强调材料科学、微重力科学、生物分析、航空推进等领域的技术，而法国则强调核能、环境、生物传感器、流量控制等领域的技术。该奖项利用了现有的强有力的研究合作，并为美国科学家和学生提供了在美国无法获得的设施和专业知识。国际合作还将帮助这三个国家的行业在涉及多相科学和技术应用的领域聘请训练有素的人员。该学院教育项目的优势在于，它计划将美国学生培养成具有多种专业能力和态度的全球专业人士，使他们在全球市场上具有竞争力。美国研究生将被支持在国际环境中与外国合作者和顾问一起工作，在多元文化氛围中发挥作用和交流。独特的教育机会包括与行业相关的短期课程，前沿研究培训，文化意识研讨会和国际研讨会和会议。在工业研究实验室实习将使他们有机会在国际范围内与工业界建立联系。积极招收来自代表性不足群体的学生，将有助于获得STEM研究生学位的美国学生的多元化和国际化。多相科学与技术证书课程将通过在线远程学习模块开发和提供，从而使国际合作伙伴及其学生、美国其他大学感兴趣的学生以及工业合作伙伴的继续教育都可以使用。美国研究人员还将通过与国际伙伴的交叉合作和共同为外国学生提供咨询，培养在国际背景下进行研究所需的技能。该项目可能会对体制产生重大影响。它将加强和国际化研究网络，解决复杂的多阶段技术问题。它将帮助建立一个复杂流体和多相流的国际工程研究中心，与国际工业界和学术界建立伙伴关系，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实习。合作院校致力于探索联合和双学位课程，这将进一步推动美国院校的国际化，并为未来的学生和教师提供丰富的合作机会。通过这些多方面的倡议和活动，该项目将成为美国和国际合作机构努力使自己的研究和教育组合国际化的典范。美国的合作伙伴包括佛罗里达大学和佛罗里达州立大学。法国的合作伙伴包括普瓦捷大学、里尔第一科学与技术大学、巴黎第11大学、图卢兹流体研究所、普罗旺斯大学艾克斯-马赛第一大学和波尔多第一大学。日本的合作伙伴包括东京大学、东京理科大学、京都大学、日本宇宙航空研究开发机构（JAXA）和东北大学。该项目由美国国家科学基金会国际科学与工程办公室以及化学、生物工程、环境和运输系统部门共同资助。美国国家科学基金会对这个PIRE项目的支持利用了法国大使馆的合作大学基金和夏多布里昂奖学金、佛罗里达大学（UF）、佛罗里达先进航空推进中心（FCAAP）、日本科学促进会的奖学金以及佛罗里达大学巴黎研究中心（法国）及其粒子工程研究中心的设施的现有资金。
